Just keeping it real over here!

2024/12/13 Edited to

... Read moreIn today's fast-paced world, the trend of deinfluencing encourages individuals to question mainstream expectations and prioritize authenticity over consumerism. As a 30-year-old stay-at-home mom (SAHM), it can be challenging to balance personal desires with societal pressures. Embracing a simple life means decluttering not just your physical space but also your mind from unnecessary distractions. The hashtag #deinfluence has gained traction on social media, inviting people to share their experiences of stepping away from overconsumption and embracing things that truly matter. By focusing on meaningful relationships and being present, especially in family life, you can cultivate a sense of fulfillment. Connecting with others who share similar values is essential. Joining forums and discussions, like those represented in the article, can provide community support. Ultimately, embracing the principles of deinfluencing and a simple lifestyle can lead to increased happiness and a deeper sense of purpose as you navigate your journey.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve succumbed to imposter syndrome or felt to old etc, etc. But, I have not given up in over 1 1/2 years and I plan to bring whatever I learn, mistakes, and embarrassing moments with me. I hope you do too! These are just a few things I do to stay on the path t

No gate keeping over here!
Did she really say that? Yep I did! Everybody online is yelling “make money from your phone”… but NOBODY wants to show you how unless you pay them $497 first. Let’s be real. Most people aren’t giving you the actual blueprint… they’re gatekeeping the info that changed their life. But not me.

Overthinking. I thought I was an overthinker. Here’s what was really happening.
👉 If this resonates, follow for more neurosomatic tools to help you get unstuck. For years, I called myself an overthinker. I thought the answer was to think harder, figure it out, analyze every possibility, and finally make the “right” decision. But overthinking wasn’t the problem. It

Keeping it Real: Social anxiety ? As an adult! 🙈
Is it just me, or has anyone else developed social anxiety as they’ve gotten older—even if you used to be super confident and outgoing? I don’t know what it is, but lately, I’ve found it harder to connect with people🙈. I used to be that person who could bond with anyone, naturally outgoing and a

A close-up of two hands, one with a small sun tattoo, clasped together on a bed with blankets. Overlay text asks, "DO YOU HAVE A RELATIONSHIP VAULT? KEEP THINGS PRIVATE, DON'T OVERSHARE," introducing the concept of privacy in relationships.
A couple lies in bed, each holding a wrapped burger, with overlay text defining "THE VAULT" as a mental space for private information that stays within the relationship, such as embarrassing stories or personal insecurities.
A vase of pink and white roses, a chocolate cake with raspberries, and a candle are shown. Overlay text explains "WHY IT'S IMPORTANT" to have a relationship vault for setting boundaries and preventing hurt feelings by keeping certain information private.
keeping things private in a relationship 🤫💕
My boyfriend and I have something called our VAULT. It’s not an actual physical vault, but a mental vault! Basically, when we tell each other something is “vaulted” or “goes in the vault,” that means that it does NOT leave the relationship. For example, I have a LOT of vaulted embarrassing stories.

Honest communication begins with owning your feelings and needs, then choosing kind, direct language. I speak with clarity, acknowledge when I’m unsure, and invite repair when needed. Honest talk clears paths and renews trust. #recovery #bodytransformation #Lemon8Diary
