I want to say it was about two years ago that I decided I really wanted to take on social media. I had this very clear vision of posting all of the content and having tons of followers who I would have deep intellectual conversations with about all the things that I adore. I was following so many people whom I saw living the life that I want to live. I didn't see anything that I was incapable of accomplishing, I just knew wasn't there yet. It was a challenge that I had no problems accepting.
I have since had a very interesting relationship with my social media accounts. I found that I would have a few weeks where I was pumping out content left and right, then I would just vanish. It wasn't for lack of ideas, I assure you. I have a very detailed plan for all my social media accounts. I have the photos and the notes. I know what post need to be up on what account and in what order. I know what needs to be said and how to share it. So why am I not growing? Why am I not fulfilled by the content I am sharing anymore? Why do I always run into burnout? This month I definitely got my answer. June has alreally showed me a lot about myself and my relationship with my goals. I think my problem with social media has been that I have been so wrapped up in needing the perfect formula, getting all of the information out there DAILY, and posting enough content that there is something for everything I am trying to create and I am providing for all my different followers who come to me for various things. Tarot. Books. Writing. Spirituality. It is all a lot but I know that it is possible. I just have to figure out the best way that works for me. I know that I can't keep working from my perfectionistic, workaholic nature. I will only keep exhausting and burning myself out. I have gotten into the space of just posting content for the sake of putting content out there so that I am consistent. Granted, yes I still enjoyed the creation of that content. It showed me that I do in fact have the self motivation to make sure that I am getting content out. However, it lacks the love, excitement, and inspiration that I see in some of my earlier content. I have so many plans for the platform that I am building. I still have all the intentions to continue the content that I have been. I am simply changing my entire approach. Taking a serious step backward to shifting these few things that have been absorbing so much of my time. Instead of taking mass photos of books, I will be posting photos only when I have something to truly say about them. I will post to my blog when I feel I have something to say that is worth someone taking the time to read it and/or worth documenting. I will make videos that really inspire me on books, life, tarot, spirituality. The entire reason I starting this platform was to share my journey. My thoughts, my experiences, my goals. To document my overall growth. Ultimately connecting with like minded people and being able to have meaningful conversations with them. I very much stumbled away from this vision but am taking this huge lesson I have learned and making something fantastic from it. By reconnecting with myself, I will be able to create more content that is authentic, valuable and overall more meaningful. This is what I want for my platform. I really hope to see you there.
