CREATING BOUNDARIES WITH SOCIAL MEDIA

In this day and age, it’s hard to escape. Everyone wants to be heard. There is so much noise. When do we tell ourselves to take a break from it all? And when is it a good time to jump back on the ether bandwagon?

Hi there, it’s me, Jaqualine. I have a problem with social media.

It has opened a lot of doors for me, but it’s also made me wicked anxious. For years I was afraid of being cut off from the world - but now? If I’m feeling overwhelmed it’s so easy to just delete all my social media apps and take the break I need. No announcements. No worries.

I don’t owe my break to anyone, you don’t owe your break to anyone. If you need it - take it.

Here is your permission.

Here are also some tips -

+ Delete the apps - don't worry, your information and profile will still be there! If you find the need to check it, use a desktop!

+ Invest in a classic alarm clock to wake up, yes, that means don't use your phone alarm.

+ Focus your time on doing something you love.

+ Make a list of all of the things you meant to do - and then do them! It'll feel great. I promise.

Much love and art,
