Coaching Questions & Thoughts:
What is your relationship to social media? Do you feel like it’s a tool you use for creativity and connection, or is it more of a habitual distraction?
Do you like the person you’re becoming when you use social media?
If not, what’s a small, non-committal hiatus you could take that would give you the space to see who you are without it?
What’s a hobby or obsession that you keep saying no to? Could you give yourself permission to try it and see what happens?
