We have all been there. You are scrolling through your social media feed and instead of being a fun outlet for connecting with people, or for business use, it becomes a source of frustration, anger, sadness, and dare I say…. jealousy.

Maybe it’s a “friend” IRL (in real life) who is totally different on the gram, the Insta-friends that seem to have it all together, the perfect vacations, families, jobs, cars, “perfect” bodies, amazing food….all of the above?

Maybe you are just in a bad mood. Maybe it’s not what this person posted but how the post made you feel.  Maybe you know SO much better than to take it personally, or to give too much validation to a silly post but you just can’t help yourself.

 Whatever the reasons maybe, it seems like it may be time for a little digital detox.

Just like we outgrow things IRL, we also can outgrow things on the gram. Accounts that resonated with you in 2019 may not in 2021. And you know what…that’s OK! 

Congratulations for growing and evolving!  

If you went back to my account when I started it in 2014 you would  see me following  WAY different feed. 

Think IG fitness models, Fitness accounts who all had their own program you could buy without any real valid credentials, accounts of people I knew in real life but didn’t even care for but felt like I “had to” follow. 

So did I just go in and delete them all with no F’s given? Ummmm basically, yes. LOL

AND, I started following more accounts that made me feel good. Lifted my spirits, made me smile, inspired me and motivated me. I deleted anything that I saw that made me not feel so good. I was unapologetic about it. No grand “I am unfollowing you” announcement, just did  what I needed.

Y’all know you can re-follow anyone again later on, right? 😉

Now, I try to do a little “refresh” every few months. If anyone’s page triggers me to feel like I am second guessing anything about my life, it’s time to go. 

Meaning if it makes you question if you are doing too little or too much, just unfollow. Social media is NOT life, it’s fun. So, if it’s not fun anymore, just remember you can make the choice to change that. 

I hope this helps you all detox your timeline and stay positive as you are scrolling! If this means you unfollow me, I won’t take it personally….sparkles and sass are not for everyone but I promise to always deliver both to those who stay around for my journey!
