Hi lovelies, this Insta recap is probably the shortest recap so far in all these years because in case you haven’t noticed it, I wasn’t posting much on Instagram last month. For the first time in 6 years of blogging, I took a week break of social media and yes, it’s true what they say, it’s liberating.
So yeah, if you see my Instagram for the past month of Septmeber you’ll see a significantly less amount of pics than any other previous month. I didn’t even plan it, it just happened. September was a pretty stressful month for me, both online and offline. Deadlines were suffocating me from left to right, I suddenly had too much on my plate and I wasn’t delivering 100% on all of my projects. Offline stress hit too because of paperwork issues and a bunch of other deadlines. To top it all, my laptop decided to die lol and I had to run to get a new one (ouch to my wallet). So with all that going around, I would simply stare to my phone with all the social media apps there.. and nothing would happen. No exciting ideas, no motivation, no energy for them. Actually, I saw them and saw more deadlines with brands, which stressed me even more. Oh heck, not to even mention my IG hit a low-engagement record right before my week off.
I did what I had agreed on with certain brands, that content did go live, but as for the rest, I just hid. I didn’t want to have anything to do with content creating for a little bit. With all honesty, if I didn’t have new items and deals arriving, I would’ve just extended that hiatus. I enjoyed not being constantly thinking of my social media for once. Ever since I started blogging, social media had occupied a big part of my brain and heck it felt liberating not to use that side of my brain for seven days hahaha.
So despite «being back», I still feel like I perhaps needed a bit more of time.. But, if I learnt something about this short experience is that I shouldn’t wait for another 6 years so feel burnt out and take a little break from blogging and/or social media. I should do it every now and then, even with a plan instead of just giving in and simply not opening the apps for days. I hope if you’re reading this and feeling equally burnt out from content creating, you take my advice 🙂 Plan ahead and take a little while, nothing happens if you do.
xoxo
