It has been a while

In between relaunching my coaching business and undertaking an arts council funded project that brought up a lot of internal old patterns. I have also been navigating a ‘new normal’ and where I fit into this virtual world

On one hand, it is great to preserve my energy AND keep safe, however, the other side is feeling a sense of loss and privilege of an easier lifestyle pre-pandemic. So this blog will be my journal or the space away from social media where I get to discuss in a voice note or write about matters that move me.

The problem with Social media.

Social media is like that psychopathic ex that creeps up on you, at first you are having an amazingly addictive relationship with it, hell it’s fueling my business but be it algorithms or the trends we start to form relationships OR habits that are dictated by an app. As I am on Annual leave I am purposely not doing anything related to work so what am I doing in the meantime? I am having several relationships, toxic friendships and angry feelings all made up in my head. After my emotional episodes, I ask myself “how old are you right now Marilyn?” the answer is always 15 or 16.

Can you see where this is going?

We create our thoughts and our thoughts determine the outcome of our experiences. so imagine the outcome I am creating which are one hot mess of toxic and paranoid thoughts?

This is social media unsupervised.

So I am going on a social media fast well kind of ..

I am only going to give myself 10 minutes maybe twice a week for the duration of my break, hey I might not even go on there.

Now don’t get me wrong I don't have time to create these dynamics when I am working with my clients because I am too busy but it seems like I am catching up for a whole year of focus.

Damn,

As I continue to rest into my August break.

to be continued.,

Please sign up to my mailing list if you haven’t done so already because I am trying to build a relationship with my audience from Instagram et al just in case I lose one of my accounts (which is happening more and more as we are being censored).
