That ​is ​of ​high, ​high ​value ​to ​me, ​especially ​in ​this ​transitional ​season ​where ​I ​am ​really ​focusing ​down ​and ​redirecting ​my ​path ​with ​some ​new ​intention. ​And ​this (social media) ​cannot ​be ​a ​thing ​that ​stands ​in ​the ​way.“​“I ​was ​actually ​really ​surprised ​by ​the ​release ​​that ​I ​felt (with unfollowing every account on IG). ​It ​felt ​like ​a ​real ​releasing, ​a ​relinquishing ​of ​something… ​something ​relieving ​and ​easeful.”“Baby, ​I ​got ​goals and ​[social media] cannot ​be ​a ​thing ​that ​stands ​in ​the ​way. ​This ​cannot ​be ​a ​thing ​that ​feels ​like ​it's ​clogging ​up ​my ​brain. A ​top ​line ​​goal ​for ​all ​of ​this ​was ​to ​build ​the belief ​that ​I ​could ​feel ​in ​control ​of ​technology ​that ​I ​claim ​to ​use ​for ​my ​business ​and ​engage ​in ​for ​entertainment ​and ​connection. ​But ​its ​primary ​use is ​to ​be ​a ​tool ​to ​amplify ​the ​messaging ​of ​my ​business, ​to ​make ​sure ​I'm ​reaching ​people ​with ​my ​message.““Social ​media ​can ​serve ​as ​this ​passive ​proxy ​for ​connection ​that ​does ​not ​exist and ​it ​keeps ​you ​in ​a ​state ​of ​inaction ​of ​actually ​creating the ​thing ​you ​want, ​which ​is ​real ​connection.”STAY IN TOUCHCome and follow me on Instagram @moniquershields and I would love your feedback so send an email to [email protected]
