Take A Break!

Have you ever told yourself that you need to take a break? Did you listen? If not, let me tell you why it’s a good idea to pay attention to that tiny voice inside.

Taking a break allows you to regroup and refresh. I learned this when I got tired — no, make that exhausted — with promoting my books on social media. I was struggling, y’all. It was like my efforts weren’t making a difference. So what did I do? Last March, I announced I was giving up on Facebook.

Honestly, it was refreshing not to get bogged down with trying to figure out what I was going to post or bored with posting the same thing week after week.

During my break, I focused on daily devotions/Bible reading and journaling, did some home improvements, got back to hosting holiday dinners, and finished a book I’ve been wanting to write for years.

I don’t have a huge following, nor does every follower interact with me or my page. However, months without engaging with followers/friends I’ve known for years was something I missed. Because of this, I went back to my Facebook page with renewed energy. This time around, I want to do things differently. I’m so much more than my books. How will that look? Honestly, I don’t know yet. But I’m looking forward to the journey.

Are you ready to take a break?
