The Social Media Fasting - Day 1 Awareness

I know some of you have recently joined as I have started this journey for fasting social media. I did it for a few reasons and most of all because I know that I have been spiritually called to do some very impactful leadership things.

In order to do those things it is necessary to protect my energy AND to focus my intentions. 

I would love if you are reading this to post here and introduce yourself, your business and something that you could use help with. 

My intention is to build community that is more "safe" to our systems and our spiritual grounding. 

My awareness so far is that my spot on my phone that housed my social media is reflective LOL I also started a new audiobook and I'm realizing how important phone calls, texts and email are when social media isn't the center of the connection.

I absolutely LOVE the idea of a social media fast. I have done them myself a couple of times. My longest one was 3 months, and it was really hard getting back into it. I have found that my posting cadence after a fast is very low. 

Of course, once I was fully back on, I got sucked in. At this turbulent time in the world and my personal life, I'd love nothing more than to disappear off socials.

Cheers to the social media fast! I am in full support and love this idea. I have stepped back significantly from my consumption and really loved it. Your intentions and mindfulness are inspiring to me.

I'm Rachael Cole, owner of Perennial Design Studio (Interior Design). I would love any input on the types of workshops or topics you think would be helpful to showcase my skills to people. What do people want to know from an Interior Designer? I have put out surveys on IG before and not gotten responses. Perhaps a newsletter would be helpful?

I think a newsletter would definitely be helpful, I always suggest starting with the perspective of your ideal client's pain in the verbiage of what to showcase. Think of past times when I thought "I could use a designer" I think it had to feel like you were trusted so I have to understand you are the wise advisor for me. Help me understand what I don't know to ask about.

I also started a FB fast today and I already caught myself going to that space on my phone. 

I have done this before and I remember going to that same spot on my phone more than once a day and then realizing how much I used to go check out the feed. 

This is great timing for me personally as I am going into more and more personal healing.
