I was trying to keep up with being what I thought everyone needed me to be, and at the same time I was struggling to just be me. My mind felt cluttered, and anxiety would creep in on me when I saw all the messages and comments that I couldn’t get to. As a content creator, it’s incredibly important for me to be consistent.

Overextended, overwhelmed, and under-rested? I know that stress is the enemy of wellness. So I decided, if I was going to heal, something in my life needed to change. I talked to some family members about how I was feeling. One of them suggested taking a month off of all social media, including YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, to learn to live and enjoy my life again. Just a side note: It can be a challenge to find ways to just enjoy life when you’re daily struggling with significant health challenges, but it’s so important.

Probably a sign that I was a little bit addicted. Listen to a podcast interview with Mandy.įinally, the fast began.
