New Decade - New Perspectives

Happy New Year! I am extremely happy to be in this space yet again of blogging, writing, reflecting and just showing up with my true wholehearted self. As I think back to 2019 and even further back, I have so much gratitude… for people I had the pleasure of meeting and creating memories with, for the hard lessons I learned about myself and what is truly important to me, and as of late- for realizing exactly how I spend my time and what shifts I can make to make that time more meaningful for me.

During the month of December, I stayed off of Instagram for a whole whopping 31 days. Why? I was very quick to open up that orange and pink app from my iPhone, sometimes not even realizing that I was going on there. I realized that I was taking the minimal time I had in-between work, kids, and house duties to watch quick snippets of Instastories about what different peeps were up to, what life lessons they had to share, or what products were the flavor of the month I just could not live without. I also realized that I was consuming way more than I posted about myself. I didn’t really have an intention to go on Instagram other than to escape the current reality for a few minutes at a time (sometimes even hours at a time… EEK!).

While on my Instagram detox, I realized that I am much more present to myself without escaping to watch other people- more present to my own feelings, my thoughts, and what I really want to use my free time on. Of course, I wanted more than the realization or acknowledgement so I decided on a few commitments moving forward. I commit to have an intentional amount of time to visit Instagram as a luxury, because that what it really is. Instagram is a luxury of having an online platform to share my life with the world, and to also learn about other peoples’ lives . I also commit to engage with others, whether that means to post something that might serve someone else, or simply to interact with those that I watch or listen to and share my reactions to what they post and share. I also commit to sift through my followers and accounts that I follow on a monthly basis so I can hold myself accountable with the people I am learning and growing from.

So here’s to a new month, a new year, a new decade– full of new perspectives that I welcome with open arms!

Light + Love,

Bev
