🍃🌰🌼🌿 Late Summer Days 🍃🌰🌼🌿

I have been really enjoying these late summer days. Naturally part of me is non stop daydreaming about autumn, but I do want to be present and appreciate this part of summer. I feel like it's the first time I have noticed it being different from the rest of summer and I am really falling in love with it.

So with that I have decided to take a huge social media break for a month starting sunday. I will not be on here at all or any other platform. I will be on discord so if you are a mutual you can DM me for my username and we can connect there while I'm off if you want. :)

I hope everyone enjoys this last bit of summer, I am really going to try to soak it in as much as possible. 🌞

First newspaper purchase in over 10 years...

Wowsa, I didn't expect that using a Nokia flip phone would lead me to newspapers, lol. As I giggled at myself in M&S today buying this, I asked myself why tf am I even laughing? It's super normal to buy and read newspapers - like we did in pre-smartphone days. Normalising digital touchscreens have obviously made newspaper sales plummet over the past decade, which I think is quite sad. And the only people I see reading newspapers are those over the age of 30. These days, I think, being seen with a purchased newsaper (not the free ones given out at tube stations) is like an act of rebelion or protest against our obsessions with screens - you included iPad! I can't help but smile at those who clutch a newspaper while drinking a coffee on a London street (not literally, as I would have had the police called on me). All I think is: "Gosh darn it, go you! Defy those big tech companies! No cap!)

Gen Z's obsession with screens have enabled their unbiquitous use; they blend seemlessly throughout the fabric of modern life. Which in turn has created a deep-set reliance (both emotional and phsical). Though smartphones truly do have their place in society (rapid comms, mapping, safety, for certain types of employment etc), but I do forget that once you're neck-deep as a consumer in the attention-economy... the ones who truly benefit are tech companies making money from your micro-transactions or by exposing you to endless ads. This isn't new, but I always forget this and it makes me feel icky.

I miss... 1. The tangible nature of print media that you can read without fear of anyone grabbing it and running away (London smartphone mentality). 2. Being able to read a newspaper in sunlight without the need to turn up your screen brightness, or turn it down to save battery. 3. Reading detailed, well-researched stories/reports (as opposed to breaking-news with minimal facts). 4. Being able to stuff a newspaper in your tote bag and feel a bit old-fashioned sometimes. 5. Feeling offline.

This week's updates:

I've been using my Nokia 2660 Flip for three weeks, now

I can text much faster (with the aide of predictive text, which isn't perfect but always a nice compromise with not using my iPhone)

General anxiety continues to drop (I thought social media didn't really affect me negatively, but evidentally I am wrong)

I prefer writing (with bad grammer, sorry) over posting stories on Instagram - most people know that I am quite expressive/animated in person (and I enjoy face-to-face conversations much more)

I am reading more (Kindle) and listening to music most evenings to wind down (as opposed to doom-scrolling, as I literally can't)

Sleep is deeper and more consistent, less physical tension

My mind now wonders more, especially during times where I used to use an iPhone to entertain me/stop boredom. I have in fact embraced more moments of boredom and has allowed me to absorb my environment more and what is happening around me

YouTube is still social media (my brain has decided so), thus still overstimulating and kinda exhausting to use (choice paradox all over again) - avoding it most days

General focus has improved week-on-week. I am more deliberate with my entertainment options and I am fully engrossed without the sudden urge to check my phone (because my Nokia can only call and text, lol)

Planning on getting a Zach Bryan related tattoo, cos I am crazy and a fangirl. Maybe just the title of my favourite EP of his: 'Quiet, Heavy Dreams' on my inner left forearm. Some deep meaning for me there, too. But will discuss another time

Invisalign treatment will be complete by first week of July (just a few months to go!) After which I will recieve my retainers and will be sent away with full mouth-freedom. Queue the song: WAP by Cardi and Meghan #sideeye

Speak soon.

Love, Alan. x

Reclaiming Joy: Navigating the Holiday Season Beyond Social Media Shadows

@ 2023 Rhys Ayr-Cullen

The festive season, bridging the end of one year and the start of another, carries a dual nature. On one hand, it's a time for joy, reflection, and creating meaningful experiences. On the other, it can bring a wave of stress, anxiety, and even despair. This contrast arises from the immense pressure and expectations wrapped up in the idea of “the season to be jolly.” The phenomenon of festive FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) is real, where it’s all too easy to feel like everyone else is enjoying idyllic celebrations with their loved ones, while you’re just trying to get by.

Social media amplifies this sense of FOMO during the festive season. As we browse through perfectly crafted images and posts, it’s natural to feel that our own lives don’t measure up to the joy others seem to be experiencing. This can lead to a mistaken belief that you're alone in feeling anxious, lonely, or despondent, while others are lost in festivities. This constant comparison can trap us in a harmful cycle of sadness and anxiety, leading to even more emotional distress.

However, there's a silver lining - there are steps you can take to counteract festive FOMO and live a fulfilling life that’s true to you.

Plan for Festive Stress: Reflect on past festivities to identify your main stress triggers. Develop proactive strategies to address these. For instance, if you dread certain family questions, prepare brief, confident responses in advance.

Live According to Your Values: Determine what’s truly important to you and engage in activities that reflect these values. Approach the festive season with a clear idea of what you hope to gain from it, whether it's nurturing important relationships or recuperating from a challenging year.

Let Your Own Values Guide You, Not Other's ‘Shoulds’: Participate in events and undertake tasks that resonate with you, rather than those imposed by societal or personal pressures.

Limit Social Media: Identify the aspects of your social media use that lead to unhealthy comparisons and set goals to reduce this usage.

Practice Mindfulness: Use the festive downtime to enhance your ability to live in the present moment, benefiting you throughout the year.

Slow Down and Savour the Moment: Take time to enjoy each moment, finding something in it to appreciate.

Cultivate Gratitude: Regularly practice gratitude to help appreciate your life more and reduce the tendency to compare it to others.

Develop Distress Tolerance: Learn to accept and move through uncomfortable emotions rather than avoiding them.

Embrace the Essence of the Festive Season: Engage in activities that help you feel part of a community and transcend self-focus.

Maintain Personal Health: Prioritise your physical and emotional health through adequate sleep, nutrition, exercise, and relaxation.

In addition, our engagement with social media doesn’t cease during the festive season. We often find ourselves sneaking a peek at our feeds, even amidst family gatherings. Seeing friends and family celebrate in grand, joyous ways can evoke feelings of sadness or stress. This ‘festive FOMO’ especially affects those away from home or working during the festive season, amplifying feelings of isolation.

The digital age can also contribute to the ‘festive blues’ - a state of anxiety or sadness during the Christmas season. As highlighted by UC Davis Health (formally known as The University of California), unrealistic expectations about ourselves and idealised family scenarios often seen on social media are common triggers. Time spent on social media can escalate this stress, affecting our social skills and emotional wellbeing, disconnecting us from real-world interactions.

Social media can be a form of escapism during Christmas, offering a respite from prying questions of relatives. However, this escape should not exacerbate stress.

Whether celebrating alone or with others, it’s vital to prioritise your well-being. Reducing or temporarily ditching social media can help avoid envy and promote genuine connections. This festive season, consider embracing real-world experiences, like a staycation, instead of experiencing it through your phone screen.

By adopting these approaches, you can navigate the festive season with empathy, intention, and a deeper connection to what truly matters.

Social Media Break

I decided to take a social media break after finding out a close family friend betrayed my friendship. Anyways...I am enjoying it. Not stuck to the phone like I always was. Ive come to realize, I seem to compare myself a lot to other women. Whether it be looks, financially, even questioning my happiness at times. I wonder if anyone else feels like this sometimes?

I have been MIA.. Since April! 😳 #sorrynotsorry I took a step back from IG for a hot minute.. BUT, that's okay. This year has been a roller coaster, and I've shifted my focus and priorities. As many people have. It's important to focus on ourselves and turn in (and away from social media). But I'm back and excited to share my new yoga space, my new plants, and get back into a new routine. So to start us off... here is an adorable picture of Jaeger ♡ #yogawithcats #yogawithjaeger #yogaroom #yogamat #plantparent #socialmediabreak #imbackbaby https://www.instagram.com/p/Clka9j3L_Rm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tomorrow is #digitaldetoxday, so I won’t be about on the socials. ☕️Even though I’d like to think I’m not as attached to my phone or socials as some people, I do find myself on them quite a bit, so in a way this weekend is the nudge I find myself needing. I’ve done this the last two years and always feel better for it. Maybe all this is to say that I should do it more often, but I feel this way every year and it never happens. ☕️Instead of social media I shall be reading books (I’ve decided Kindles don’t count this year since I need to finish a book I got through Libby), watching tennis and football and starting a new draft of my contemporary YA @iamwholeuk #socialmedia #socialmediabreak #socialmediadetox #writer #contemporaryya #theatre #reader #bookish #readingweekend (at Monterey, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiBXN6EO7SB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A new month has begun, and the warm weather of summer is beckoning me. And I have decided to take a break from social media for the rest of August. Inspired by a few online friends, I'm taking time away from all the apps such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. I hope to focus on where I am and on those I am with. There will be posts on those pages that are a part of my work - but taking a break from personal posts. See you all in September! #socialmedia #socialmediamanager #socialmediabreak #mindfulness #takingabreakfromsocialmedia #takingabreak https://www.instagram.com/p/CgyJiL5Olu9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🌻TAKIN’ A BREAK Hello loves, I hope you're all doing okay and having a fabulous weekend! As of today, I'm going to be taking a week off from Instagram. It's something we all need to do once in a while. It's so important to take social media breaks and connect with reality. My family and I are off on holiday, so I'll be deleting the Instagram app. I just wanted to make this post so people were aware and didn't think I was ignoring anyone! I hope you all have the best week, and I'll be back on Monday! I am also, of course, sending love and support to whoever needs it. 🏷 #socialmediadetox #socialmedia #socialmediabreak #mentalhealth #selfcare #digitaldetox #mentalhealthawareness #socialmediaaddiction #unplug #socialmediamarketing #detox #mindfulness #disconnecttoreconnect #healthylifestyle #takeabreak #socialmediatips #selflove #socialmediapost #meditation #loveyourself #socialmediamarketingservices #instagram #socialmediainfluencer #socialmediajobs #mentalhealthmatters #digitalwellbeing #socialmediahacks #socialmediafact #socialmediamanager #socialmediaaddict (at Par, Cornwall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfRQsFjr5nN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
