My Social Media Sabbatical, Ep.75

I am taking a break from social media!! Social media can be fun and energizing, a place to connect and experience joy and laughter.  At times, my relationship with social media feels draining and forced.  So, I am disconnecting from social media to reconnect with myself and my core values.  From July 1 through August 7, 2022 I will be going off-the-grid from the social media platforms. In this episode I share the WHAT, WHY, WHEN, and HOW about my decision to take a social media sabbatical. I talk about the different ways that we can stay connected! I encourage you to take inventory of the aspects of your life that affect your energy and to evaluate those places where you can make a shift to feel more balanced!

12:04 - Let’s take a breath, a slight pause and check in with ourselves - body, mind, heart, soul, and spirit.  What would a social media sabbatical be like for you? - What are your emotions, thoughts, body sensations.

12:36 - Podcast referenced: “Off The Grid”, recommended by my friend and colleague, Maggie Landes.

13:06 - My 31-day challenge to post on TikTok every day in the month of May this year - to share educational, inspirational, and fun videos.

16:32 - It’s out of balance in my life right now. I need more balance, more rest and time for pausing, reflecting, breathing.

17:38 - In most spiritual practices - religious or not - rest and pause to connect with yourself and your spiritual guides is encouraged.

18:59 - WHY: We are taking an Intentional Pause (opposed to and perhaps in response to the fallout from our “Forced Pause” of 2020) for perspective, time, and opportunity to reconnect with ourselves and our loved ones.

26:28 - “We Empower You To Fly”.  We empower ourselves and each other to fly here at Visionistas By Design. Pause, reflect, look back to see where we have been.  Appreciate the moments right now.  What is our vision? Where are we going? Aligning our actions and thoughts with our goals with intentional vision.  We evaluate and celebrate and redesign when change occurs.

28:33 - I invite you take time to reconnect with yourself.  We empower you to fly.  We empower you to rest and embrace the cycle of life.

29:04 - HOW: I want to model our message of taking and making time for yourself, to “walk the walk”.

30:56 - When I told the Visionistas Team members about our social media sabbatical, they were relieved!!

32:22 - HOW: In securely attached relationships, we can trust the connection over time and space.  Rather than an unexpected break (aka: “ghosting you”) I want to be intentional in talking about the plan and informing you of it, as we are in relationship with each other through this podcast.

33:56 - WHY: My goals: to feel more connected and rested; to process this past several months; to prepare for the upcoming months and exciting things ahead!
