Have you ever said…
“Ugh, I hate social media.”
“I have no clue what to post and is anyone even listening?”
“I don’t want my posts and feed to scream “look at me, look at me!”
“There are already enough people doing the same thing.”
And so on… These are common narratives that I hear and we start to tell ourselves that can really hold us bak from connecting with our ideal customers, clients, and followers!
We wanted to share some practical perspective shifts that can help pull you out of the social media dread and start thinking about this powerful tool for exactly what it can be. Let’s face it. Social media is what we cultivate and if what we are cultivating is comparison, negativity, and dread, then we are really missing the point. The opportunity to connect and share and invest in positive change is exciting! Let’s start changing the narrative and make great impact!
OLD NARRATIVE
“Ugh, I hate social media, but I know I have to be on it.”
NEW NARRATIVE
“I’m thankful for the opportunity to connect with so many people and have direct access to my community.”
OLD NARRATIVE
“I have no clue what to post and is anyone even listening?”
NEW NARRATIVE
“I’m excited to dig in and create content that helps deliver my message and serve my audience. I’m not afraid to ask for feedback and I understand that my worth is not attached to my engagement or followers.”
OLD NARRATIVE
“I don’t want my posts and feed to scream “look at me, look at me”.”
NEW NARRATIVE
“I’m willing to show up on my social accounts for my community so they can connect and know who I am and that I am here for them. It’s not about “look at me” it’s “I am here”.
OLD NARRATIVE
“I’m not going to show up or try because there are already so many people doing the same thing.”
NEW NARRATIVE
“I have something unique and powerful to share. Someone is waiting for me to be courageous and step into my gifts.”
We hope this helps! Drop any questions or comments below and let us know what you think! Are there any narratives that you currently or used to tell yourself that might be holding them back? Let’s transition and squash the lies that keep us from stepping into purpose.
