Do What You Need For Yourself Today. You Deserve It.
We all deserve a break sometimes.

ut how many of us really take them? I know I haven’t, plenty of times when I really, really needed it. I’ve stayed on Instagram and social media even though I felt it was draining my life and wasting my time. I’ve stayed friends with someone who never made me feel good. No matter how you define “taking a break”, we all deserve them. And we also don’t need to have any excuses as to why we want them. I decided awhile ago to start doing things that made my life better, regardless of how people may perceive me. I decided to stop caring if people thought it was “cool” that I was or wasn’t doing something, and I felt a lot happier. Life is too short to be worrying about whether or not you’ll fit in!
Take that break, whenever you need it.

tart putting yourself first! If you need a week or a month or 6 months away from social media because you hate how it makes you feel, just do it! Don’t let the fact that you are a “blogger” decide whether or not you make a decision for yourself. Being a blogger, or being anyone really is always about being yourself, so put yourself first from time to time and do what feels right. Social media, friends, a bad habbit, or whatever it may be – give yourself what you deserve and take a break if it is giving you greif. The world moves quickly, but these things will be there when you get back. Essentially, all I reccomend is an attitude that you are going to do what’s best for you in that moment. It felt amazing when I started doing this myself!
Very insightful! I believe that this is only now gaining momentum as part of learning to practice self care. Giving yourself permission to start or stop something can be very difficult. Now, more than ever, our lives and our choices are open for review and speculation, including less than positive feedback from virtual strangers. Taking a break, no matter how long or what from, can be so deeply restorative. Well done for bringing this important message forward.
You are right and thank you for reminding us. As you get older, health is of importance too so taking a break from social media relieves the stress =) I’m probably going to do this in a few weeks and take the time off.
Totally! My break made me feel better than ever. I just figured why write, when I feel like I have NOTHING to create or share? Do whatevers best for you, thats all that matters!
Needed to read this today! You’re so right, sometimes it’s just not worth forcing yourself to do things. Such a cute post 🙂
