ヴィッキー・パティソンさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ヴィッキー・パティソンInstagram)「When I spend time at @juicemasterretreats I always try and make sure I do something good for my mind aswell as my body. This week I did some things that more often that not I don’t make enough time to do: 🖤 I’m reading more, books that I’ve promised myself I was going to pick up and get into for months, I’m finally taking the time to read and digest them. 🖤 on the advice of my life coach that I spoke to yesterday and had I had a good chat with I’m setting out my goals and intentions for 2020. (As well as slowly trying to learn how to shut my inner critic up but quite frankly that’s going to take awhile as she’s a gobby cow- wonder where she gets it from?!) 🖤 Finally, being on my phone less- which I know seems ridiculous as I post this to social media- but trust me, I’ve seriously cut back this week. I am trying to be more present. To take in my beautiful surroundings, connect with other people on the retreat and show my partner the attention he deserves. The last one lead me to this decision- I’ve had a bit of a cull- too often I scroll through Instagram and allow myself to be sucked in to the polished and filtered images of perfection that I see. My feed is inundated with them. And do they add anything to my life?! No. More often that not I end up feeling guilty, dissatisfied with my own life, inferior and even sometimes a bit jealous. And of what? A contrived image of someone I don’t know’s so called ‘life.’ The version they want you to see. It’s ridiculous. So I’ve unfollowed some people- I’ve followed some new ones and when I’ve been doing this I’ve asked myself these three questions: - Does this person/account make me feel; ✨ Empowered ✨ Informed ✨ Inspired And instantly after doing this my Instagram feels like a more positive place to be. And I feel happier. Lighter. Ps I hope you enjoyed this picture of me. It is my happy face. Mostly reserved for when I see my food coming out in a restaurant. But it’s now also the face I use when I look at my kind, inspiring and empowering Instagram. It includes bushy eyebrows, grey hairs, crows feet... but it’s me, at my most happy. Have a great day everyone ♥️」12月5日 20時06分
