JUST IN OBSERVATION

I have taken another social media break. I normally take one atleast once a year. This time seems very different from times before. I have been off approximately 7 weeks. The first few days is always an adjustment. I unfortunately don't have that many close local friends that I see everyday. A lot of my friend connections come from Facebook and TikTok.

I recently had last fall been selected to receive payment for my post on Facebook. Not that it's much money but it was a type of recognition for having lots of followers who interact with me. I have been considered a "Rising Creator" per Facebook. Not that really means anything. But unfortunately, I could tell it did effect my human ego in not a good way.

I got caught up in making more post and doing more what is called "reels". I was more concerned with my Facebook and TikTok presence than my personal spiritual growth based on the time I spent on each. This really caught my attention. I have recently begun an online school called the AWAKE Academy. It's a 16 week self paced certificate program to become a certified Integrative Holistic Energy Practitioner.

I am spending more time focusing on my own internal spiritual growth now. I have as long as I can remember always felt like it was my responsibility to take care of others and put myself last. What we learned from our parents and society is the exact opposite of how we should be functioning. My current goal is to give myself the time and space that my soul needs to disconnect from everything that is keeping me from my true self.
