Some of you may have noticed, others may have not, but for the last 3 weeks I have been m.i.a on Instagram. I decided to take this time off to refocus, get clarity and a clear vision from God for my future, my family etc. 🙏🏽
Honestly this move is against everything that all social media “experts” advise : “Make sure you post consistently!” “Make sure you at least have an online presence!” “ Don’t forget about the algorithm!” 🤯
But I realized that with all the chatter of social media, it’s easy to get sucked in the routine and just go through the motions in life, without accomplishing anything concrete! It’s easy to just go, go, go and not take the time to just BE. We live our lives in a constant #FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) state, that even if our soul is exhausted, we just keep on pushing, and never take the time to properly rest, because we’re oh so afraid of missing our next opportunity.
They say it takes 21 days to form an habit… This time off has really helped me appreciate and live in the present moment. Of course there were times that I would mechanically open social media! 😬 but then I remember the bigger purpose (refocus, be attuned to God’s voice) and close it right away! 😬
Everyone is talking about #2020vision but in reality some of us are living life blind to our real purpose in life. I’m not saying everyone has to go on a social media fast, but please don’t let it be all talk, no action and by the time 2021 rolls up, nothing’s been accomplished!
Until next time
xoxo
