To combat this, take a simple step by unfollowing or muting one account that drains your energy. Curate your online feed as an act of self-care, promoting your well-being and allowing your inner voice to thrive.

A little over a month ago I posted a similar photo of my oldest on my personal Instagram page.
I commented on what a great summer we were having and mentioned our Tuesday lunches. I take him to therapy on Tuesdays and over the summer we would get lunch together and have a lazy afternoon reading or talking while his brother was at camp.
But school started a month ago and those Tuesdays are a little rushed and hectic.
Potter isn’t much into socializing, showing affection, or even comfortable being in a crowd. Most evenings he can be found sitting on his bed reading a book or playing on his tablet. While the younger two are outside riding bikes or running around, Potter is comfortable sitting on the porch scetching in a notebook or reading. I don’t force him to play outside because I’m happy he’s doing what he loves.
But it does make it a little more difficult to bond with him when he’s constantly looking down at his book or tablet.
So, since school started I have had to try a little harder to get just five minutes of time to spend with him alone. He’s a fifth grader this year and so far this year has been difficult for him but his teachers know we are working with a therapist and are trying to be patient (although I understand that can be difficult).
With work, our side business, three kids, online classes starting for me, and trying to condition my relationship with The Beard it has been an interesting couple months.
But just call me the juggler, I’ve got this. 🙂
Tonight I went out with one of the Fun Four and my next post was going to be a little explanation of who the “Fun Four” are and/or about tonight’s date. I wrote a different post instead and as I was leaving Amelie’s, where I sometimes write, something on the bathroom wall caught my attention.
I did indeed smile. I needed this. I’ll never know who wrote this, but thank you.
