Today, we’re chatting about a few signs that might be time for a social media break. As a full-time content creator, it probably sounds ironic that I advocate to take time off social media. But taking time off is healthy. I take time off and in fact, I’m planning on taking at least three months off with maternity leave coming up.

 Here are 4 signs that it might be time you need to take a social media break:

1.     You’re in the comparison game

2.     You’re consistently feeling disappointment or discouragement after posting online 

3.     You’re feeling like you’re spending too much time on social media

4.     You’re experiencing negative emotions like anxiety, loneliness, or anger after being online

Today, I’m sharing 5 daily habits I do to create and maintain a balanced, creative life. Personally, I’ve gone through various life stages and milestones while trying to balance a creative side-hustle and now a full-time career. I wanted to share the 5 key things that have helped me stay balanced as I side-hustled, gotten engaged, then married, and now preparing for my first child.

In this conversation, I do a deep dive into: Reflection

Learning how to listen to my intuition and check in with myself is one of the most important things I’ve learned so far.  

As someone who is motivated to achieve, adding reflection to my daily routine has helped me immensely. Learning how to give myself time and ask myself questions like:

·      Why is this important to me?

·      Does this create opportunity?

·      Am I happy?

·      How do I feel about x,y, or z?

Has helped me look back at the life I’ve lived so far, learn, and make better decisions for my future.

Today, I’ll be chatting about a few ways that help me stay motivated as a content creator. Currently, I’m experiencing a new season life – I’m currently in my third trimester of pregnancy and creating content + maintaining a schedule + staying motivated has looked different for me. 

So, I hope chatting about how I stay motivated today helps give your ideas on you can also stay motivated with your side-hustle or passions, regardless of what life stage or transition you’re in. 

 I revisit my goals often.

 If you listen to the podcast or follow me on social media, you know that I’m a goal-oriented person. I love outlining my goals every year and laying out my to-do list daily. 

Tip: if you’re looking to revisit your goals, I recommend writing and keeping your goals in a place (your planner, word document, blog post, etc.) you can revisit them often.
