Reorienting My Attention Away from Instagram and Facebook
“Research shows that multitasking social media can be as addictive as drugs, alcohol, and chemical substance abuse.” Social media interacts in our brain like HEROIN and cocaine, y’all.
Simple Self Care: Inner Child Check-in
My first life coach tried to get me to talk to my inner child with compassion and I truly could NOT speak to myself with compassion. Healing takes way longer than I expect and it’s better to just start, I’m so glad I started messy and inconsistent.
I Think I’m Addicted to Instagram Stories
I am feeling so proud of myself for doing this uncomfortable thing and releasing this addiction.
Instead of my Instagram time I have been: calling friends. Sending thoughtful texts with “You must believe in Spring.” Writing. Reading email newsletters, blogs and substacks.Watching Patreon videos and reading posts from creators I care enough about to pay to support! Reading Octavia E. Butler novels. Watching you tube videos of Brandi Marie Carlile!
I’m Totally Having So Much Fun on Snapchat Here’s Why
Recently a couple of bloggers I like mentioned that they were Snapchatting. When I got a new phone I decided to try it again.
Snapchat is so different now and I’m really enjoying it!
Here are some things I’ve been doing over at my Snapchat story:
Tours of where I’m at (I travel soooo much sometimes, especially in the last few months)
Narrating my favorite parts about NYC
Nightlife adventures—the last couple of weeks I’ve been going out a lot!
Cute videos of Macy
Tiny diary-like snippets (e.g. a couple weeks ago I talked about how like how I leave blank space in the calendar intentionally so I have time for mini side adventures)
Goofing off with my friends (When I hang with Victoria chances are she might be scantily clad and when I hang with Jacqueline she will usually do a boob shimmy for my snapchat viewers)
Dance party at the Bed Bath and Beyond (that happened with Dara)
A tour of a sparkly and amazing Femme apartment (Hi Bridget!)
Wedding venue I officiated
