Oh Emma, you are speaking to my soul! Those days - When social media said ‘you’re all caught up’ 🥹🥹🥹! I miss those days SO MUCH too!

I have a mantra for myself now when I come on social media:

“I cannot read it all (the posts/the Substack),

I cannot learn it all (the nonfiction books I collect in my Amazon basket ‘saved for later’ after seeing them being promoted/recommended on social media),

I cannot do it all (all the amazing workshops & retreats etc I see promoted on social media)”

I’m not yet comfortable with that reality (I do genuinely WANT to do it all!), but it is a useful reminder of the cold hard fact that I simply CANNOT do all these things, no matter how hard I might try 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you for sharing your very relatable thoughts on this! ❤️
