Notice and be non-judgmental.

Being mindful and slowing down is one of the things I help folks with when it comes to exercise-
And I think that the parallels with how to do that- can be easily applied to how we approach social media and our smart phones.

In 2013 (or 14?) I deleted FB for a year because I remember having feelings of jealously that I didn’t want to be having.

I would see a photo (or comment) and notice an unsettling in my body. I didn’t like it, but I wasn’t as keen to name it as I am now- so I deleted it all.

Fast forward to 2018, when I was told that I would “have to” have a social media presence in order to start my own business and viola “@fitragamuffin” was born.
But I had to redefine my relationship with how I used it, and it’s been an ever evolving process since then.

Just like some folks relationship with exercise.
We start.
We stop.
We feel unease, we feel joy-
will this last forever?
-
And how do we learn to step back and re evaluate in order to adjust if need be?
-
We NOTICE- and we recreate a path where with noticing, we are also non judgmental about what comes up.
-
Notice the feelings of boredom,
or dread.
Notice the joy
or warmth.
-
Know that you can change your approach if something doesn’t sit right with you.
-
Maybe that means trying a new workout class, or a new time-
Maybe it means plugging your phone downstairs and putting it in the glove compartment when you’re driving…

Noticing begets self awareness and change and most of all, compassion.

What are you noticing right now? What (if anything?) was brought up or thought of when you read this?
