Tamatha avoids social media because comparing her business to others online generates anxiety and slows her down spiritually. She says deliberate disengagement protects her mental health and entrepreneurial confidence.
Yeah, it does. And it makes you feel like, oh gosh, maybe I shouldn't have done XYZ, but you did and you've moved on and you've gotta stop looking back. But it's, it's really hard. It's hard not to compare to your past. Okay, Tamatha, so was that why it was easier to start your businesses back in the day because you didn't have social media to compare your, your business to what everybody else's businesses are doing? Do you feel a difference in this day and age running your businesses now that you can literally compare yourself to 100 other online businesses?
Oh yeah, like that's a real thing with— sometimes I stay purposely stay off social media because I realize like I'm starting to slow down just spiritually and emotionally. By not looking at social media all the time, because I recognize what it creates in me is, uh, anxiety.
