That fine line between inspiration and distraction // As we head into the holidays I am finding I am already overwhelmed by the temptation to buy more or even waste time online browsing for all the toys and cute decor out this season. As I continue to navigate how to be a part of the world but not being consumed by it, I am reevaluating what I take in on social media.
I am "muting" a few of my favorite accounts so that I have less to keep up with during this holiday season. I find it too easy for little things to creep into my life that started as inspiration but then quickly became a distraction.
And I completely get it - people are simply trying to make a living. I am not mad about it. I am not unfollowing because of it. But I am creating boundaries that allow me to still be a part of something while not sacrificing too much of my time and energy that I am not willing to give.
And instead I am making room for more joy, peace, contentment, and inspiration.
Anything you are "muting" this season?
YES! I am soooo with you on this! . Not only do I feel overwhelmed, but I’m just so tired of all the consumerism. I, like most of, have more than enough! I’d rather give the gift of an experience, hopefully worthy of a happy memory.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing Arli! I am glad I am not alone in the overwhelm! Wishing you a slow and lovely holiday season full of special memories.
