Hey,

Day 3 of BLOGMAS !

I honestly didn't do much today, so I thought I'd touch on something before we get into this! One thing I am loving at the moment is not being on social media. I decided I think two nights ago that I'd go on a break so go on a break I did! I find social media to be quite stressful sometimes and it flares my social anxiety a lotta lot. Honestly it's been nice to just chill by myself and not worry about things, personally I love being by myself and my introverted ways!

So I have some tips for when you just need a break.

1. Remove the temptation. I deleted my apps for Instagram and smapchat and things , just to stop me from absently clicking on them. I still have my accounts I just want to step away from them for a second.

2. Pull yourself into the present. I find social media drags you out of the real world, so instead of focusing on yourself you focus on other people, so take some time for yourself! Read a book, do some art (I recommend those adult colouring books) and just breathe.

3. Me-time. Have a bath and a face mask and maybe make yourself up if you want to, to make yourself feel nice not for a selfie but just for you.

4. Realise that you can return when you want to! I don't think it's about completely shutting off all social media I think it's about having a balance, you know? I honestly think these tips work for everything not just social media related. You need a break from something else entirely!

Right so now on to my day!
Again, it started gradually. I'm reading a book called Room by Emma Donoghue, at the moment and it's sucked me in! I'm enjoying the different twist on the story and how unique it is. So I've been relaxing and reading that!

This, friends is 'summer' haha

Now it's day three I can open my third door in my beauty advent calendar and it's some present tags! They're so festive and I was actually just thinking about how I needed to buy some.


Can we talk about this last photo!! Mollie is a pain in the bum today.


 
This is my own mini christmas tree isn't that impressive but you know, its the thought that counts!




I've ended my day watching God's Not Dead, and doing some doodling! Hence the failed Minnie Mouse above! I'm feeling a lot better about things now, i think sometimes like I said at the beginning, we all need some time to stop and think. Pulling yourself into the present is one thing I'm bad at anxiety wise, and I always have this horrid little voice in my head saying that no one likes you, and your friends don't care.
Proving that voice wrong is hard! We unfortunately all have one, and even though it sucks, it's not true! People love you, God loves you!


I hope this day wasn't a downer! I'm still looking forward, to summer, to a new year to anything!
See you tomorrow.

Love,
