Needed this message. There’s also so much negativity and horrible things on social media that can affect & overwhelm you. New subbie! You are spreading so much wisdom. God bless you 🤍
Hey girl hey!! Welcome ❤️! Yes, the negativity can be a bit overwhelming. I don’t want to normalize it as I get back on, because in reality life is pretty peaceful 🙌🏾. Praying you you find balance navigating the socials too! Thanks for watching ❤️
Girl you are telling the truth.. the validation, the comparison, the time consumption, the mental fatigue… honey we need to spend time with Jesus them quiet times and the family
Yesss! I so appreciate you sharing your experience. I just started taking weekends off of social media and it's been so refreshing that it just makes me want to get off altogether.
Girl! I'm with you. I have to seriously catch myself now that I'm back on. I'm excited to grow my podcast audience, so I can go solely back to youtube. I enjoyed it so much.
I really needed to see this. I was just thinking about getting off of social media because it’s a big distraction. I go back to school in January and need to focus. I guess this is my sign to do it ❤
Do it!! Do it!! I kept RUclips and got rid of everything else. I still had to use self control but I made sure it was positive content that I was consuming. I’m back on now, and really have to be intentional about not over doing it. Pray about it, and I know you can do it if you choose to!
I LOVE THIS! Such truth! There are many days when I want to disconnect from EVERYTHING! But, until I can get someone to manage my channels for me, it looks like I'm stuck. Thanks for sharing!
@jackiebspeaks I know exactly what you mean. I’m really gonna make sure I take some of those days because disconnecting even for just a day seems to be so refreshing. Thanks so much for watching. You know first hand how much creating content can add to our plates. Ask God to keep refreshing us as we try to pour into others 🙌🏾❤️
Lol. I am watching this tonight 2 September. From last week Wednesday night into this Wed (so about a week), I didn't log into any social media except for specific reasons, eg. having to message someone on messenger etc. It felt SO good. Yes, I was like "man, I'm missing out" but really, what was I missing out on? A meme, a funny post, someone's photo, news, a death, an engagement? ALL these things went on without me, right? EXACTLY! From this Wednesday, I logged back into most of my accounts and I thought to myself "hmm, I didn't really miss anything. Like yea, I missed things but really and truly, I didn't miss anything." It's Saturday and I found that from Wednesday, I've gone back into spending too much time again on sm (see, I'm on YT! Lol). I'm gonna watch this video and a couple others I have lined up and from tomorrow, I'm going to go back to no social media whatsoever except for specific reasons--for however long, whether several weeks or months.
I totally understand how it happens. I’ve found myself pick up my phone to check it, so I’ve set up limits on the apps to avoid over doing it. Especially when I have intentions for the day. My biggest thing is making sure it’s not the fist and last thing I tune in to. It definitely balance. I pray you’ll find the right amount of balance for what you want to accomplish form limiting your use. I find RUclips to be more informational so I’m ok enjoying it a bit more when it works with me and not against me lol. Thanks for sharing ❤️
I've been off IG for a little over two weeks now and planning on being off at least a month. I feel the mental clarity already. I have to contemplate what my next move will be in regards to IG. Let me know how you feel when you go back.
Hey! Good for you! I honestly almost got back sucked in. The first three weeks were horrible but definitely more distracting than normal, so I’ve adjusted some things and really feel good about the balance I’m experiencing right now 🙌🏾
@@simplywhittneyk I have actually went off a few times before and definitely got sucked back in. I have tried cleaning up my followings as well. I follow entertainers and fitness people. However, there are some IG models posing as fitness influencers who may follow me and I follow back. Next thing you know I got crap that I'm ashamed to open around people. I think when I do go back, I'm going to unfollow anything other than some entertainers and RUclips content creators then don't even scroll.
Hi there, I love your videos, Inspiring and motivating. As someone fairly new to video editing, If you don't mind and maybe don't have one already, I would love to edit your videos for free and I believe I can help add value edit-wise to your channel.

Also! I just watched the documentary - The Social Dilemma, whewww it's scary how much it's designed to keep us scrolling!!
Yes I saw that a while back… it was powerful. Added to me wanting a break.

Your content is so intentional and such a blessing! Keep radiating God’s Glory and exuding His Love!
Thank you Sis!! I really be trying. Just have to keep pushing. And this is definitely encouraging ❤️🙌🏾

Hey y’all!! I hope this video blesses y’all! Have you taken a break lately? Do you need one 🤔🧐
