‼️🗣 I'm taking atleast a year out from Facebook and Instagram. I will not be using this account until January 2025 at the earliest.
I wanted to have social media to raise awareness of the work I was doing, and the life I am living which aligns to that work.
I feel a big resistance with social media in general as it takes so much from us as humans and it has quite a negative effect on our wellbeing when we don't have a healthy and balanced relationship with it (which unfortunately is likely to happen as a human as it's they way we are wired and the way social media is designed.)
The truth is - I find no joy in sharing posts, if anything I feel pressure to post, then only relief after I have. Also unintentionally I'm sometimes drawn to just scroll for no reason, which only leaves me feeling drained and worse about myself.
I find joy and satisfaction in leading a life that aligns with my values which coincides with 'doing the work' I do... so I am going to maximise my time and energy there.
When used correctly, social media is a great tool and has some fantastic benefits.
It hust so happens the flip side to the coin is there is a downside. The downside being, a lot on social media is designed to consume us and we as humans are consumers!
I want to be more intentional with my time and energy.
👉 In terms of being accessible.... I am actually as accessible as I always have been, the people who need or want to get in touch can.
I can still be contacted Via phone or email.
My contact details are on my rfa.readyforanything page.
This is my New Years resolution 2024.
Thanks
