I mean, have you ever caught yourself thinking... 'My life i so boring... this person seems to have loads of friends and go to parties.' or... 'i dont eat healthy enough/workout enoigh. This person does more then me'... or all these different things.
We get affected by what we read and what we see, and personally im hoping that you guys(people!) who read my blog get something good from reading my blog... Its not like i write about all these parties i go to, or this perfect life im living. Im just normal. I go to school, i have schoolwork, i meet friends etc. Which makes the blog boring, but at the same tiime... relatable?
I have decided that i am going to take a break from instagram, FB and blogs.. I am still going to write here. I mean more in the fact that, i am gooing to stop reading blogs.
I read alot of blogs, some who are sick with an ED. Though not as much anymore. But actually, i am going to stop with those completly... mainly because. I can get annoyed.... and it can make me frustrated to read some peoples blogs... so really i wonder why i read them. I want to read happy blogs.. ... or you know...
And also, im going to stop with 'fitspo' blogs. because i dont think its healthy, not for me... I easily compare myself with others.... and i dont want to do that.
Though i am still going to read a few, as they have great tips/recipes and just great advice. Though some fitspo blogs... its all just lose weight. Eat light products etc etc...
Not sure why im writing this, as it doesnt really affect any of you.
But you know what i am hoping that you read this, and think.... well maybe i should stop reading that blog... or stop looking at thinspo or whatever. Do it for your mental health. Dont compare your life to others. If you feel triggered by someone else, then dont read their blog/or look at their FB, or whatever.... it is for your own sake.
And you know what, if you do in some way find my blog triggering.... or dont like what i write or whatever... then for your own health... i wouldnt mind if you stopped reading. Though if you do find something i write triggering, please let me know:)
So it might be time to evaluate what you read and what you look at each day. Because if you are continuously reading things which trigger you, then you arent going to feel better.
I totally understand you !! One of my friends said to me that i should stay away from negative people. So...i should stay away from blogging. I want to help people, and i'm always here for anybody. But we can't just do it. We have to find positive things in the life, things which makes us happy !! :) By the way you are a very supportive, intelligent and strong person!!! I'm glad that i know you !!! :) <3 xxx
ReplyDeleteNaaw thank you!!
DeleteI think blogging can be both good and bad. Blogging is good, because you can write out what is on your mind. And learn new people! But at the same time, some blogs are very triggering, an can lead to comparison... which then can lead to feeling like crap!! As you end up comparing yourself to others!!
If you like blogging, then dont stop :) As long as you arent triggered. If you are triggerd by blogs you read, then stop reading them!!
And im sorry i never replied to your previous comment (Or i dont think i did!) But Zumba sounds fun :) Ive tried it twice before... but i dont have so much body control... so i just end up flaying my arms and legs about!! Hahah, cant seem to keep up with the pace! :)
Its great that you enjoy it!! :) <3
