It’s been a little over three months since I quit facebook and completely deleted (not just deactivated) my accounts and it was one of the most liberating things I’ve done, especially because of the pressure I felt to have my business on facebook, you have no idea since I’ve quit how many times I’ve heard “Oh I just use facebook for my business or work etc”..

Yeah I felt that way too, I get it. However, for me as a sensitive intuitive facebook is just too toxic a place, actually it’s more than that it is an entity in and of itself, a living energy that is fed constantly and gets bigger by the day and as an intuitive, it is one of the most toxic energies I’ve ever had the displeasure of feeling. So knowing this I finally decided that my business would survive facebook (and it has) but if I was to continue using it I don’t think I would’ve survived the energies to continue my work. Shortly after quitting facebook I found that my head was clearer, actually it was quieter (because I take on and tune into a lot of information naturally) and I found without facebook I wasn’t constantly seeing and tuning into other’s thoughts and feelings which means that my head is clearer and more focussed.

As I am no longer reading comments on posts I’m not bombarded with the opinions of others that were often laden with jealousy, resentment, anger and toxicity.  There is a lot of emotion on facebook and as an intuitive I feel it all. I noticed that many people need to be right but more than that they need to be heard and there is a lot of insecurity behind that, any NEED we have is a sign that we have some inner work and healing to do.

So many souls seeking assurance and validation, it’s a very heavy energy to feel daily and when someone is triggered, well that energy almost floored me a few times.Something that is often not considered is that I too could feel the many souls who are simply sitting behind their screens just watching, not commenting but watching almost obsessing over what and who they are following. Again, a NEED to know what someone is doing even though they were not sharing thoughts and opinions this energy was still felt and while this energy is less heavy it’s no less toxic.

The saddest part about facebook I think is that it allows people to build a false profile of themselves, a facade only putting out what they think others want to see, what will be liked, shared and commented on. But none of it is real, most of the facebook friends aren’t even real.  But the saddest part is it feeds their insecurities and adds to the issue that people have around caring what other people think and needing constant validation.

So with that said I now feel like my space is mine again, I don’t have information overload with information that I do not need! I feel I have my privacy back as I’m no longer being watched under a microscope oh the judgement! It’s a lot! And without the intrusion of facebook and absolutely no pressure to post updates on my business page I can actually just focus my energy on the healing work that I love to do.

So if you are sensitive to energy facebook might not be the place you want to spend your time either, you may be picking up on a lot more than you realise, feeling emotions that aren’t even yours without noticing it and maybe you’re taking some of it on too! It could even be contributing to your issues of self worth and self esteem and you may not be quite aware of the negative impact it is having on you. I read an article on facebook after I quit and while I don’t remember much of it I do remember that Mr Zuckerberg was quoted as wanting facebook to ‘dominate’. Reading the article I felt nauseous and reading this statement I felt relieved knowing that facebook was no longer dominating me, my time or my business.  I feel as a society we are not thinking for ourselves enough and being a part of facebook is one way that we feed that issue and hand over our power, I think it’s time we make changes in how we spend our time and where we place our energy, one of the biggest issues we all have now is information overload but as an intuitive it’s much worse than just an overload of information.

Bottom line is we have to do what is right for ourselves and for me that means controlling where my energy goes and having incredibly strong boundaries in place. What is it that you do just for you?
