  • I actually did my whole “Social Media Detox Experiment” in baby steps... 🚫📱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And the first thing I did was turn off all of the noise—meaning I turned off ALL notifications. 🤫⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s actually amazing to me how much this seemingly little step reduced my stress levels. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don’t think we’re aware of the constant noise and distraction that surrounds us. If we don’t take control of it, there’s always some “ding” going off, a message popping up, and another notification that’s screaming for our attention. 🗣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s a lot to process, and more importantly it can distract us from the things in life that are really important—like our children and our spouses, our family, and our friends—the people who truly deserve our attention. 🥰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉🏻 Wanna learn more about my social media break? Check out my video:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🎦 How To Unplug From Social Media: Self Care For Entrepreneurs (link in bio >> @moriahriona)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤷🏼‍♀️ So I’d LOVE to know: what are your own rules when it comes to social media and personal time?

  • I’m gonna be honest: I don’t like sharing the real life, hard and yucky bits.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I prefer to just keep it to myself.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But I’ve realized that when you do that (only share the “highlights”) it actually really isolates you from others.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So here’s the truth: it’s been a rough couple of weeks.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve been realllllly sick for the last few weeks. Nothing serious, I just can’t seem to get over this thing. So tons of doctors visits (and I really hate going to the doctor 😭)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And in the middle of it I got into a car accident with my kiddo. (No body got hurt, and it was the other driver’s fault). But I think my little car is DONE.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anyway, it’s just been A LOT. Ya know?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And really I’m bummed because it’s meant a lot of unexpected time away from work. Which means I’m behind (because, as you know, when you’re a solopreneur, nobody’s there to pick up when you need a break). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I haven’t posted a new video in a couple of weeks (which broke my perfect record of posting every week since I began)... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But I guess that’s just life 🤷🏼‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All that to say... if you’ve been waiting on an email from me, it’s coming soon (I promise!). And new videos coming very soon too!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I actually spent all day with @jessicavalliaphotography shooting my next 5 videos!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anyway, if you’ve read this far, thanks for sticking with me! 😘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And hopefully you’re doing alright, friend. I know it can just be a little tough sometimes. So here’s a little virtual hug if you need it 🤗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ p.s. Check out my “stories” for a behind the scenes look at today’s video shoot! 🎥
