This is the era of multiple streams of income and having 100 titles in your bio.
“Hi! I’m Missmjxoxo, I’m a chef, a mother, a secretary, a blogger, a tarot reader, an online boutique owner….”
Many of us are feeling the pressure from social media to be more and do more, but at what expense? Most of us are already overworked, overtaxed, and underpaid. We are being drained of resources. So many of us are trying to make ends meet. We are busting our asses, carrying these titles while still being broke.
Not only are many of us broke, but we are also f*ckin tired! I am exhausted. I have been a taxpayer since a teenager. I have been a full-time worker while having endless side hustles for over 18 years of my life, and I currently feel like I’m living the American nightmare.
We are working to SURVIVE. Isn’t it sad that many of us are in SURVIVAL mode? We have to ask ourselves when was the last time we were able to simply live? We’re not even living anymore. We are SURVIVING! We are drowning – drowning in debt, taxes, depression, stress, bills, projects, and responsibilities. We are putting ourselves in early graves. Sadly, many don’t even have life insurance.
It’s important to seek balance. We need to start prioritizing our families over our careers. We need to find a way to live a life that isn’t led by money. We need to start putting our needs first and actively taking time out for self care. Let’s start eating healthier while still enjoying something sweet here and there. Let’s start speaking life into ourselves, connecting with nature, and connecting with a higher power. Let’s start using those PTO days and paying closer attention to our mental and physical health. Find a good support system and learn to say “NO!”
It’s time to remove the titles from your bio, and commit to just being. Take a deep breath, and learn to let go of all the things that no longer serve you. Clear the clutter from your home and your mind. This is your sign to find balance.
