I was just getting into my post holiday blues phase after the most amazing holiday in Crete when social media started to take over again.
I jumped right in to take my mind off the fact that I wasn't in a sunny hot country, going for long leisurely walks by the sea every morning and evening.
Then I decide to open my blogger. Which has been growing cobwebs at the most alarming rate.
I mean I can manage everything right? The whole social media upkeep, with the likes and comments and the shares and the scrolling. Not forgetting the updates, regularly. Keep checking on those who like posts, and reciprocating whenever possibly. So what do you do when you have so much to keep up with?
You have to pick out the main things you want to stick with. as its unrealistic to manage everything and keep it going at top speed like clockwork.
So something has to give.
A few years back that something was me. Totally taking over my life, this social media lark, with all of the promoting and organising all of the statuses and photo posts and then going back to check on the messages. So your brain just doesn't get a rest.
It mushed my brain so much I became anxious and unable to switch off.

Reading someone else's words and story helped me reaffirm my own life and help me get a prospective of things. I knew what I had to do all along, but just needed a gentle reminder from words of a friend. It then came in the form of a swift kick from reality.
That sort of worked.
On holiday I decided to live for the here and now while looking forward to positive things in future. It helped blood pressure and anxieties. I also am learning not to think or care too much about others opinions, as we are all unique and yet all the same. Always a learning path to follow. I hope to always find like minded others on that path.
Organisation is the key. But what if you have so many apples to juggle? And you really do not wish to let any fall. Also having supportive like minded folk is another key.
