GEMS DROPPED
“I too, grapple with my relationship to technology, specifically that of social media. And I'm in the middle of an experiment that impacts my life, my work, my wellbeing, my relationships regarding social media.”
“We are going to reclaim our time. We are going to reclaim our attention. That is of high, high value to me, especially in this transitional season where I am really focusing down and redirecting my path with some new intention. And this (social media) cannot be a thing that stands in the way.“
“I was actually really surprised by the release that I felt (with unfollowing every account on IG). It felt like a real releasing, a relinquishing of something… something relieving and easeful.”
“Baby, I got goals and, [social media] cannot be a thing that stands in the way. This cannot be a thing that feels like it's clogging up my brain. … a top line goal for all of this was to build belief that I could feel in control of technology that I claim to use for my business and engage in for some entertainment and connection and stuff as well, but for its primary use, which for me, is to be a tool to amplify the messaging of my business, to make sure I'm reaching people with my message.“
“Social media can serve as this passive proxy for connection that does not exist and it keeps you in a state of inaction, of actually creating the thing you want, which is real connection.”
