Happy happy Monday! Yes yes! The day is extraordinarily wonderful already. You woke up today. You have time to accomplish your dreams. There’s time to become a better you. There’s opportunity for change. The list goes on!
But let’s talk about the elephant in the cyber room. Yep, you know, those people who you’re “friends” with because you know who they are. Or, maybe they’re friends with you because you’ve crossed paths with them in the past. Or maybe, you’re friends because you were friends with them in real life; the ones that have to go.
It’s so easy to get caught up in feeling obligated to be friends with someone online, especially when they send you a request. Sometimes you don’t want to seem like there’s a problem when there really is. Maybe this person has wronged you in the past. Maybe this person talks bad about you behind your back. Maybe this person drains you of your energy.
Whatever it is, if it isn’t good, let’s dead the situation. Now, some people may have a negative connotation in relation to “blocking” people online. Maybe you think the only people you should block are creeps and weirdos. WRONG.
Blocking can literally be a form of self-care. The internet is totally mental and energy. Think about it. You can go online and see a status or video that completely uplifts your day. After seeing it, you may feel empowered and in good spirits.
I’m contrast, you can easily hop online and see something that turns your tummy upside down, pisses you off, or makes you sad. I mean the power of what someone says that you’re connected to can truly make a big difference in your mood, if you let it.
I say all this to say that it’s okay to go on a blocking spree. Just as you would do spring cleaning when seeing your house a mess, you should block and unfriend people that aren’t good for your mental. It doesn’t matter what they do or did. If it doesn’t make sense throw it out.
Clear out the atmosphere. Create cyber meaningful connections full of true love support and good vibes. Granted unfriending and unfollowing can help with poor connections, but sometimes there’s no way around it, BLOCK THEM. When you block a person there’s no way to come across their content unless they create a new page, in which some will.
Blocking is truly therapeutic. I mean the weight of them being connected to you will feel incredible once you let go. For me, I think it’s a form of valuing you as well. Everyone doesn’t deserve your time, your energy, or to know what’s up with you. It’s a privilege for people to be in your space. This applies virtually as well.
So just in case your connected to some people who do you no good or serve no purpose in your life, block them. Block. Block. Block. Try it. You won’t regret it.
