Day 3 of No Social Media FOMO ALERT



That’s right!  Started the Detox off Social Media on Monday and it's only Wednesday and I have felt Irritable all day.  Everything pissed me off.  Not sure why?  I mean I’m not even on my period so what gives?  My training with my trainer went fantastic but just tiny little things I feel are getting under my skin.  For starters, I hate computers and sometimes feel illiterate when it comes to minor tasks and today I hit one of those roadblocks that reminded me that I need to relax slow down and ask for help.

All the instant gratification and good feelings I feel that social media was constantly fueling my “attention tank” is now slowly emptying and since from my hormones aren’t receiving any oxytocin, seretonin or dopamine that social media was giving me, it is really starting to hit and I can feel it.

I was wondering when the whole withdrawals would show up.  But, I did cheat.  

Ya see, some girl on Facebook is interested in buying one of my competition bikinis for sale and it’s $200 bucks I’m not going to pass out.  Same day today, another girl I answered her message from Facebook who wants to stop by and look at the huge lot of clothes I have for sale so it’s another opportunity for me to make money.  Which yes that is a great feeling all thanks to via Facebook (but again) this is why giving it up cold turkey I know for me is nearly impossible because it’s so easy to make money.  So, yes it is another excuse to why I went on social media and this is I feel a cheat I made.  Even if it is making money,  and I didn't have a particular time I'd stay off social media so I didn't break any promise but I do still feel guilty.  So OK, Michelle; eat a freaking cookie and move on.

I can’t stand passing up a good chance to make fast cash (I’ll pass up a situation if it’s illegal or morally wrong though DUH) and heck I’m headed to Disneyland in a few days with my Momma so this would be a good little splurge for me to be able to treat her.

So it comes down to, that I really enjoy making money online and even if it’s through my social media that’s fine. But when it comes to showing off every second of my personal life, taking pics, stories 24-7, and spending oodles of time wasting writing captions and not taking the accurate time to slow down to enjoy my personal life and things like slowing down my eating and sleeping and spending more quality time with my husband communicating with him and that’s when social media starts interfering with my personal life.  Those are the biggest factors by far in only 3 days that I’ve noticed.

And again even though I feel irritable, I’m not at all anxious or nervous or have dealt with any kind of anxiety lately which is absolutely incredible that if anyone suffers with anxiety would really look at your privacy and keep it more for yourself rather than the uncomfortable neurological feelings of being exposed that I had absolutely no idea that I was dealing with on a constant basis all from my phone and social media.  

So here’s to another day of feeling clear minded and free spirited in that regards.  I'm not missing out on anything but I subconsciously I am a tad irritable from all the instant gratification that social media was giving me but that ok, I look forward to missing it for a while.

My 2nd Day Of Social Media Detox

Image
I woke up 4am.  Was out the door at 8am and the bank and print business weren’t open till 9am.  So I went to the gas station to fill up and then went home and walked the dogs.  Boy, all the time I have. Today I printed my new business cards, picked up my latest edition of New Mind, New You Book, consigned some clothes at Buffalo Clothing Exchange, posted a few items for sale on Facebook Marketplace, blogged on my website, went grocery shopping at Wal-Mart, went to LVAC for calves, abs and cardio and even had enough time to was able to go home to Gene and go over our day and just hanging out for a bit before bedtime. I am in amazement over having almost no anxiety.  That’s a biggest part I see.  Also not wasting time scrolling, posting or writing content and really finishing my day doing serious constructive activities to make a living.  I'm also not needing to take pictures of everything I see or am doing thinking that it would make a good ...

What would your Mandala look like?    What colors and shapes would you choose?  How would it represent you? Color therapy is real. It’s defined as Chromotherapy. But let’s go into details about what a Mandala is and how it defines and represents you. A mandala is an integrated structure organized around a unified center.  From the classical Indian word “Sanskrit” And loosely translated to mean “Circle” but a mandala is far more than just a circle.  It represents wholeness, and can be seen as a organize structure to represent the meaning of life.  A mandala diagrams the infinite meaning into our soul and representatives a dream into our being both in this world and past that to what we cannot see.

What is Whey and Caesin Protein?

What is Whey and Caesin Protein? Dairy protein supplements best selling 2 source of protein powders on the market. How do these powerhouses compare?  Both are complete proteins with amino acids and easily digested by 97% in the body.  Both are extremely popular but don’t share the same benefits. Whey-  their digestion faster rate to reach amino acids higher and reach blood faster Caesin-with a curdling effect is slower up to 8 hours in the body and slowly digested. Lucien is a amino binding syntheses and has more immediate to the body with whey and spikes blood sugars higher but Caesin carries more protein syntheses is also leaves the blood elevated up to 36 hours which releases less Lucien levels than whey. So which one is the best one to take? Caesin focused on protein breakdown with less luecin but whey has a faster generated effect to effect muscle gains in a quicker process.  So yes, whey is a short part more faster to recover but ...
