Signs You Need A Social Media Break



Social media is great for connecting with family, friends and other people, keeping up to date with world news, finding entertainment and engaging in activities like shopping and livestreaming, but it can also cause stress, anxiety and overstimulation. Here I am going to share some signs you need a break from social media.

1.   We mindlessly scroll sometimes and if you end up on social media without even realizing it, you are to absorbed in it. 

     2.  Always being online is a big sign you need a break.

     3.  You can't stop comparing yourself to others. Everyone always posts their happy times and moments   of success and seeing all that can cause a lot of anxiety, especially for someone who may not be doing so well, or even someone who is doing well may look at those posts and feel they are lacking something in their own life.  

    4. Social media can bring on the fear of missing out (FOMO), making you feel like things are happening and you don't know about it or you're missing out on exciting things everyone else is doing. 

    5. It can make you feel insecure, like you are not good enough.

    6. If you are annoyed by everything you see on social media, it is time to log out and take a break. 

    7. Do you ever feel like you have to post everything you are doing? Some people say they can't enjoy activities before posting about it and it's the pressure to perform and prove something to others. 

    8. It is just not fun anymore. This is a big one. If you are no longer enjoying being online, engaging in activities like livestreams and social media is dragging you down, step back!

Welcome back Justice Crew!

                                           Photo credit to @Justicecrewofficial Instagram Justice Crew are a dance and music group who won Australia's Got Talent in 2010 and went on to release many amazing songs including number one hits Boom Boom and Que Sera . After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back!  I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and  Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Light in the Darkness

  We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly.   But that doesn’t mean our light is gone.   Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky.   No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do.   Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...
