I’m deleting the Instagram app.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t worry- only until about this time next week! You see, I’ve been noticing my social media habits getting a bit out of control lately. If I’m being honest it was happening before this whole COVID19 thing but in the last few weeks I’ve seen my time spend on this app shoot through the roof.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don’t think social media is inherently bad or good but I know I feel different (in a bad way) when I use it excessively. Things that at first sparked inspiration start to lead me down a spiral of “not good enough” thoughts and feelings.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In all the years I’ve been on social media I’ve NEVER taken an intentional break. Not once... it’s kinda crazy to think about! I think in a lot of ways I’ve been a little scared to step away from something I’ve worked so hard to build- even if it is just for a week but now seems like the perfect time for a intentional reset.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While I will miss you all so much this week I hope this reset allows me to come back more inspired than ever and, hopefully, with some better boundaries around how much time I spend on here.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some house keeping before I go: I know many of you have been loving weekly yoga. I’m skipping my mon/tues classes next week but will be hosting a FREE class on my YouTube on Thursday. This class will be in partnership with gopro and one luckily subscriber will even win a new gopro camera! Subscribe to my channel and stay tuned for next week’s video for details on how to win. If you need your yoga fix before then all 7 of my previous classes are still available through the link in my bio. There is a beginner class, three different vinyasa classes, 2 yin yoga classes and a stretch/meditation class on there.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As of noon today this is my official “out of office” message. See you next week ❤️ #socialmediadetox
