Get over yourself.

By admin

Selfie-culture is a little annoying nowadays, wouldn’t you agree?
I don’t think one needs to “selfie” unless its to serve the purpose of your clients, sponsors and other contractual agreements.
I admit it. I take pictures of myself for attention. When I see the likes increase on Instagram, it gives me some sort of satisfaction. When I’m down or feeling insecure, I post photos of myself and the response I get validates me temporarily. I can’t believe I’m confessing to this – it’s really sad and pathetic. Not so surprising, my best friend pointed that to me, she noticed that I take a few more pics of myself when I am down. She was right! Why do I care so much about what strangers say about me? Why do I rely on them to make me feel better? Whhhyyyyy???
Well played Instagram, well played.

This was my "Good Morning" series.

Continuing with my confessions, I’m starting to judge people on Instagram. The more self-absorbed you are, the more you can tell what what your Instagram will look like: a billion selfies.

You don’t need to selfie every damn day, I know what you look like and you’ll still look like that tomorrow.

I’m ranting a little because this #selfie culture is getting ridiculous. We’ve all gotten so narcissistic that we think everyone cares about what we do and how we look like. Everything needs to be monetized, get your money, get your fans, get your likes.. more me me me.  I’m so guilty of it!!! You don’t need to selfie every damn day, I know what you look like and you’ll still look like that tomorrow. We just keep feeding this ego-machine! (Disclaimer: unless you’re doing something to your face, cuz i’m really into before and afters.)
If not, then please just get over yourself.
I’m aiming to be a bit more meaningful on my messaging over my various social media platforms – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Website. (AIM is the key word here)
My New Years Resolution is to selfie no more than 5x a month (unless its for work). To shift the focus off myself and those who need the spotlight instead of me. Haha what’s your New Year’s Resolution this year?

    📣 New Workshop Announcement📣 As someone who 📣 New Workshop Announcement📣

As someone who still derives a lot of happiness externally, the journey of going inward helps me synthesise my thoughts, feelings and emotions. I’ve been working non-stop over the past couple of months and in my quiet moments I start to creep into a dark space. Knowing that I have the tools has kept me afloat and I know there are many others who are also in my shoes. 

If you’re feeling stuck or need to feel grounded in a practice, please join me for latest workshop where we get to journey inward and find some answers we are searching for. Always safe, always welcome, we are better together. 

🗓️: Wed, 12 Jul 8-10pm
📍: @wondrouscurations studio
🎟️: RM129 

Limited spots available, both men and women welcomed.

I haven’t had bangs since I was a kid and it’s always fun to see what their plans are each day. My blonde is starting to show, will need to pop by for a colour touch up again at @shawncutlergroup!

    I co-hosted a special workshop for #breathwork and I co-hosted a special workshop for #breathwork and #soundhealing with @hansenlee at @ommosapiens. 

While I’m going through my ebbs and flows of life, I’m incredibly grateful to connect with so many people and playing a part in their journey of self-discovery and healing. It always reminds me of what I need to work on as I sit through this experience.

Thank you everyone for coming. 🙏🏻
