The effects of social media

Social media burnout is like a fizzing magnetic energy field surrounding people drawing them into a constant connection between themselves and their online worlds creating another version of burnout.

The effects of social media burnout!

I've had many conversations about the effects of social media and the feelings of disconnection, anxiety, self-doubt, and lack.

Sapping their sense of peace, holding them in a place of distraction, always open and draining them of self-worth, invading their energy field, unknowingly…Constant mind chatter dialogue… I really should be doing something else but …
I want to put it down but… I have to keep up with what's going on out there!
I posted yesterday but… now I feel so bad I don't think they understood me clearly?

My own addiction story to scrolling online feeds, feeling a magnetic attraction to go straight to the phone with my morning coffee.
Checking in to see who liked my post, why did they not get that post? Why do I still feel like I don't fit in? Why is nobody real? Why is nobody checking in to see if I'm OK... I would for them!

Following cautions that I need to be on social media platforms if I'm to make it as an online entrepreneur was pushing my anxiety to keep them all going.
I was always in my head, do people see me, hear me, or even like me? 
Forgoing other aspects of my life, my girls & husband were around me ready and waiting to enrich me, but I couldn't see it.

So I choose to take control and step away from all the frantic playing within the chaotic energy.
Summoning up a little of the 'don't mess with me attitude' of years gone by that I recently recognized was slowly disappearing when I woke up to the 'all that I am.

This felt a little ironic, as I was opening up to more of me letting my inner self come through and in doing so, my person Vicki began to crumble and doubt herself struggling to manage life in this ever-changing environment of online spirituality.

When I stepped out of my comfort zone of the 3D linear world and into the unknown multi-dimensional it was a jump of faith to step into a more expanded version of myself.
Learning me, also led me to look outside of myself for information, how do they do it? What do they know? How am I different? Am I different? This is a good one - am I special???

Feeling so little and insignificant to what was opening up within myself was confusing.
What I was feeling and listening to from inside of me, didn't always match with what I was being told as Universal Truths from the masses online.  

So my default mechanism was to quieten down,
I didn't speak my truth,
I fluffed around the edges careful not to upset others,
I let them talk amongst themselves, recreating stories and beliefs that inside me just didn't ring true.

I felt it was not necessary and was not in my best interest to try these truths on as my own or that anyone else should for that matter either.

In my process of change, I let go of the tough human survival evolutionary part of me, in other words, could be explained as that tough girl part of me. 
I needed a bit of her back, not all of her... just the ‘pull up your big girl socks and get on with it’ part.

I remember... I remembered ME!

I do NOT like to be told what to do, I am stubborn, stroppy, opinionated, strong, and creative in so many ways. 
I remembered I know myself and I'm developing and redeveloping all the time… this is merely learning a new way of being me!

I just want to be me! I want to be the best me I can be! I do know how I am feeling! I do know what I am seeing!... 

AND I do know what makes me feel good! So I Clicked Off Social media!

Sending you so so so much love,

Xx Vicki
