I took a much-needed summer sabbatical from social media.
The pressure to produce led me to a place where I would "finish my day" late in the evening and then sit down to create content as if that was some way to rest. I was burning out fast.
I can always recognize the signs, and this time, I decided to take a break from pressuring myself to show up online. To some people, it might seem counterintuitive to unplug. But let me tell you, it was a game-changer to take a break from posting on LinkedIn.
I learned a few things I'd like to share with all of you in this solo episode. I'm always learning to embrace the ebb and flow of life. There will be times when I am inspired and others when it takes a backseat.
And the key takeaway?
That's okay with me! How can you give yourself permission to release yourself from unnecessary pressure, fill your cup, and find a balance so you can show up in the world with your eyes wide open?
