Social media has fucked me up.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Chances are, it has fucked you up too.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Don’t get me wrong, it’s also one of the best thing that has happened to me - its paradoxical like that. But we can’t ignore the toxicity of it.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ I used to follow almost all wellness / health / fitness type accounts and was constantly trying to follow their advice. Some of it helped, but a lot of it didn’t. A lot of it left me feeling inadequate. I’m not here to bash anyone. I think sometimes the support can be incredibly helpful, and dudes... I fall into this category too.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ’ - . ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ✦ You don’t need all the expensive supplements.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ✦ You don’t need to meditate for an hour a day.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ✦ You don’t need to love every part of yourself.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ✦ You don’t need to eat a certain way just because it works for someone else.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ✦ You don’t need to look a certain way just because someone else does.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ✦ You don’t need to work on all your coping mechanisms all at once.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ .⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Stop letting people you don’t even know (myself included) tell you what you need. Stop letting “influencers” who are probably equally as fucked up if not more than you tell you what to do.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Sometimes more than having a growth mindset, we need to have a chill the eff out mindset.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Take a deep breath. You’re doing great, just as you are. ♡ ♡ ♡ ⁣

Comparison is the thief of joy- do you scroll down on social media and compare yourself? Compare your beauty to other girls. Wish you looked a little more like them...? Compare their relationship to yours? I want to remind you today social media is not real life. Yes, you see the Perfect moment that girl posted from that picture but you didn’t see for once she felt enough to post that picture. You didn’t see how long she took to pose in that specific pose because everyone else is doing it. You saw that Perfect relationship picture she posted, but you didn’t see how they argued before or after. Yes, you see all the pictures of her and her best friends laughing their butt offs but that girl you just wished you had her life wonders why her friends are Only there for her when she only meets their expectations. Yes, you only see what they decide to show you.. in their red carpet social media moment, But no you really don’t see who you just compared yourself to, you see the opportunity she had for a moment to out- show you, For a moment she appeared more glamorous, more put together, practiced the perfect angle. Had to post what belongs to her husband to get more followers and like... forgetting she is worthy in Gods eyes... so for a moment she out-showed More beautiful, more saturated with money, for a moment she appeared to be living the life worth-envying for.. but you didn’t see her crying at night before she fell asleep.... all while neglecting the real her who wants to be known. So BE WHO GOD CALLED YOU TO BE.. not social media, the world is waiting for you for that beautiful girl that God took 9 months to form in your mother’s womb. For those strengths he put in you... Social media is not real life. Stop comparing your life. Lately, I’ve seen so many girls compare themselves to other social media girls. Social media can’t validate you the way God can. No you really didn’t see that girl you saw what she decided to show you for that moment. Your identity is in God no one else, and in nothing else.. you seek to be seen in this meaningless captions, the filtered lenses, photoshopped faces when you already are seen in his eyes

REAL TALK moment with you guys☝. ————— Have you ever taken a step back and analyzed just how false this perception of being “perfect” in social media land is? Do you find yourself nitpicking EVERY.SINGLE.DETAIL of every photo before you choose to post it? Or worse... just be so negative about yourself that you forego posting any pictures of yourself because you think it’s not good enough? Do you see how bad that actually is NEWS FLASH... in case you didn’t already know... no one is perfect because perfect does NOT exist. —————- Here in this photo I have abs AND would you look at that... a skin fold in my waist... because why? The human body is flesh and water and everything in between and EVERY.SINGLE.BODY has skin folds and rolls.. even the fittest or thinnest people you could think of. ITS ACTUALLY NORMAL. I have smile lines around my eyes and sometimes dark circles under them too. Stop being such an a$$ to yourself. #socialmediaisnotreallife You’re beautiful and you don’t need to fit into any mold that you think will make others happy. If those are the people in your circle then you need to find a new circle. Keep working to be the best version of you but stop trying to be something that doesn’t exist. #thatsall #tuesdaymotivation #transformyourmind #mindsetiskey #beyou #balance #perfectdoesntexist #hispic #happy #live #love

2019 vs 2016 I look super different outwardly and yes I'm super glad my eyebrows improved But the greatest change I've had is mental change. I know I'm not the only one, who has experienced that awful voice that pops up in your head, to lie to you, to make you doubt everything about yourself. To make you feel that its always too late to try, that its always to late to change. "I wont be taken seriously..." or , "I'm not interesting enough to be listened to...". "I should be further along in my life by now... " or, "There is no point in trying...". "That idea is stupid..." or "I've missed my chance..." That voice wants you to think that you're never meant to become someone or do something incredible. The thing is, despite how hard it is to believe otherwise, that nasty little voice does NOT speak truth. It doesn't honour you nor does it see your potential. Honestly it took me most of my teen years to realise that voice that I let control my life was indeed a liar. I used to always wish myself away, wish I was happy, wish I wasn't me, because me didn't seem like enough... Till one day I had a moment of self realisation, because I was tired of feeling drained every single day and I thought ...What if every time I had an idea, a voice in my head would instead say, "you could make something of yourself, you can succeed...", "you can always try..." and "There is no pressure, I can do things in MY time". I imagined how much easier life would be.. obviously I didn't then simply change my way of thinking and my whole life overnight. But I did learn something, that if I took baby steps, I could change how I saw myself and ultimately I could change how I saw my life. Since that day, I've learnt alot, grown alot, fallen back a few times for sure, but have managed to push through, continue trying, continue growing. It all started with realising I wasn't alone, I wasn't the only one who felt this way and that I couldn't do it all on my own. That I needed support and that I was deserving of the support out there, despite feeling like I wasn't. The truth is that it's never to late to change, never to late to try. You are good enough, you are worthy, just as you are

When you have to take that many photos to get one you like, how can they be a true representation?#SocialMediaIsNotRealLife

Because today I need this message myself ❤️ #repost . . . There are over 2 million forms of social media, creating envy, unhappiness, un-satisfaction, loneliness, comparison, addiction and adding to mental health issues. Most of us ‘lucky’ enough to have a smartphone or access to technology will use social media applications almost daily.  Social media has made us as a society more susceptible to feeling like we are inadequate in our appearance, that our lives aren’t exciting enough, our giftings/talents don’t compare to that of other peoples’ and that our popularity status defines our personalities. All of which is SO untrue, but it can be very difficult to remind yourself or loved ones of this when we are so absorbed in the internet world. Its all about reflection, even your favourite influencers only put up the content that they want other people to see. Even if it means images are taken 1,000 times to get the right angle, then are often FaceTuned to remove any sight of their ‘reality’. The people on your facebook friends list will post a thousand happy moments of their travels, social life, of them looking/feeling amazing. But they will almost never let you in on the days where they don’t feel like leave the house, aren’t feeling 100% themselves. About 90% of people who use social media aren’t willing to expose any of their flaws, or their true emotions/feelings in their social presence, which just goes to show it’s all a façade and our idea of reality is so far beyond distorted.  Remember not a single human being has a perfect lifestyle, body, face or perception on the world in which we live. We are all flawed, we all have our ups as well as downs, every single last one of us. In a society that tells us our flaws aren’t okay, we have to remind ourselves everyday that we are allowed to be our authentic versions of ourselves and that perfection is only a mere perception.  I wont apologise for my pimples, scars, uneven skintone, eyebags, facial fuzz, freckles, sparse natural lashes and brows, they make me human, they make me, me and that is nothing to be sorry for.

I have anxiety. I have anxiety every day no matter if I’m working, on vacation or just sitting at home on the couch. Feeling anxious is normal but not when it interferes with everyday life like it does for me. It’s so easy to hide behind the screen on your phone and portray to others how perfect your life looks. That’s why I chose this photo from vacation as I’m getting ready for a nice dinner because what you don’t see? Anxiety. You don’t see the way I’m feeling... do I understand that it makes no sense the reasons for my anxiety most of the time? Yes, completely but it’s something I can’t control because trust me if I could make it go away I would! I know a lot of you feel the same way I do and I know me posting about it lifts a little weight off your shoulders. There are things I do to help with my anxiety so here are some... reading, putting my phone down and read a book. ️‍♀️ get in a workout. eat a healthy meal. pray. take a walk with Cooper... what helps you with yours?! . . . . #anxiety #anxietyreducer #remedies #mentalhealthblogger #lifestyleblog #weallstruggles #struggles #bloggerstyle #instagramreality #socialmediaisnotreallife #wisconsingirl #express #womeninreallife #explore #vacation #arizona #fashionwannabe #womenIRL

I’ve been a bit MIA (missing in action) lately. I am focusing on things at home, still coming to terms with my illness & some days I feel intense loss and pain and that’s ok, I don’t need to have it all together all the time. We can only do our best. . I don’t spend that much time on social media these days, but when I do I remind myself that social media is a highlight reel, to avoid the negative comparisons & to remember that what we see on social media doesn’t make our lives any less worthwhile. It used to really upset me seeing people traveling, doing things, seeing people looking “perfect” with “perfect bodies”, so much “success” and “smiles”, since spiritually waking up I realise that comparison is literally the thief of joy. Yes, that’s a quote lol. We are all at different stages of our lives. Some of us battle so many things behind the scenes that Instagram or Facebook doesn’t capture. There is no perfection. There is no perfect body. There is no perfect person. We are all on this earth doing the best we can with what we can and that is good enough in my view. So, my friends, NEVER QUIT, ok? Even when it’s really hard. Hang on, because life is worth living, you are worthy and beautiful & I know how hard it is with #MECFS & #chronicillness & #mentalillness , I know beauties. But, we are amazing.
