do not allow social media to burn you
out hey ladies welcome to the girl loop
I'm so happy that you guys are here it's
our first episode and this is basically
our motivation Mondays I want to call it
is when I come and I sit down with you
and I give you some great tips and some
inspiration and motivation to kick off
your week so that's what we're going to
do today one of the things I want to
talk about is social media I know I know
you're gonna be like okay so everyone's
talking on social media these days how
do I get through social media I want to
share with you my experience and as you
guys should know by now by watching my
other videos I'm all about energy so
that's the twist I'm gonna add to this
lesson that I'm giving you guys today so
I have my handy-dandy list and I'm just
gonna run through a couple of things so
the the situation is what we're talking
about let me get my thoughts together
what we're talking about was how to not
let social media drain you make you go
crazy and just make you go down in the
dumps cuz it can do that and if anyone
has ever told you you're silly for
making social media get to you you need
to tell them to be quiet - shut up
seriously because if social media has
not gotten to them especially if they
are girlboss and social media has not
gotten to them they're lying it's
impossible everyone has gone through
that stage where it's like social media
is driving them crazy they're not
getting the amount of likes they're not
getting the model follows people
following and leaving we've all been
through it I've been through it you're
going through it you've been through it
now we got to figure out how to deal
with it and that's what's important so
understand who you are
and the type of service or brand you're
trying to provide that's like number one
and when I say understands who you are
what I mean is understand that you are
creative soul I know a lot of people
start with all you have you have to have
a business plan you have to be business
there's business business business
but honestly
that's not how it all started it was a
creative thought that sparked in
someone's mind that made them create
something and then the business portion
of it started you can't start with the
business license and the business stuff
before you have the idea the creative
thought that comes into your head so
that's why I say understand who you are
and what you've created
think about Instagram how do you think
Instagram the creators of Instagram
which I don't know them personally but
do you think they just got up and say
I'm gonna get a business plan for
Instagram no they want to know what
Instagram was they had to have a
creative spark in their mind and that's
creative spark is what they took built
up in their head put it on paper sketch
it out whatever they did and created it
it's called creativity and that's where
everything starts okay number two change
your thoughts energy when I say change
it our energy that means taking positive
energy and bringing it into your
thoughts and then releasing positive
energy because your thoughts are now
positive I hope that makes sense to you
what happened is that once we go to
social media the first thing we think
about is oh my god we have to share this
and I have to have it perfect because no
one's gonna like it
we're totally backwards totally
backwards we're worrying about the
person instead of worrying about our
self and our creativity remember that
feeling that you got when you created
your item you created your brand you
created your website you created you put
together your package remember that
feeling you got and all you wanted to do
was share it with the world
so that's gone that's the problem that
feeling is gone you're no longer saying
oh I just created this I want to share
it with the world because I love it I
created it I made it beautiful I worked
hard at it at it that's what's missing
you're just now going and said oh let me
take this picture
style it and share and then you post it
and you sit there and you refresh and
you fresh until you see how many likes
you get and when you have like 5,000
people and you get 10 likes you're like
oh my god I didn't get enough likes
you're wrong you did you did get a lot
of likes 10 likes is a lot 10 people saw
that picture and said that they liked it
that's a lot of people that's a lot of
people you have to think to yourself
you're in your home you don't know any
of these people and 10 people liked your
stuff 20 people liked your stuff you got
to think about it more than one person
your stuff reached 10 people and then
you have to remember that Instagram or
social media let's just say social media
because I don't want to just pick on
Instagram you have to remember that
there's millions millions of people on
social media doing the same thing that
you're doing there's people that were
there before you there's people that
were there after you they're sharing
this stuff they're all trying to hustle
and bustle and get people to like their
stuff and that's the mistake that
they're all making and that's where the
depression and the sadness and the
craziness and the frustration and feel
like you have to post at this time you
have to do this time because you're no
longer sharing what you love and what
you created
you're now sharing to get a like on
social media you're now sharing to get
acknowledgement and then when you do get
a like an acknowledgement you're
ungrateful because it's not the hundreds
because you have thousands of files and
hundreds of people not realizing that
unfortunately the only reason that
you're not getting lights because your
product your brand's everything you're
doing is beautiful you're not getting a
lot of likes because they're not seeing
it
a lot of people may follow but they're
not seeing it because they're not on the
same rhythm as you are you posted three
they might not get on until 10 so they
may not see it so some will see it some
won't and that's what you have to
remember it's not you it's not your
brand you've created something beautiful
so now share the beauty that you have
created share because you love it
because you want people to see it you
want people to know about it you want
people to hear you to see you to feel
you to touch a product to look at your
product to see what you have done when
you change your mindset everything else
changes
now when you post and you get 50 likes
and you have five or ten thousand people
those 50 likes will mean the world to
you because you just got 50 people that
you don't know to like your stuff and
they liked it because they saw it and
when they saw it they said it was
amazing so they decided to just check it
off and say like because you are amazing
and I want you guys to I need to wrap
this up I want you guys to remember this
do not now I can say to you do not allow
social media to burn you out social
media is a beautiful place for you to
share you what you created your amazing
work your creativity your creative soul
until next time guys make sure you check
in every week for the girl loop bye
