![A couple of weeks ago I posted about having a regulated nervous system as someone working in social media and it sparked a few questions, so let’s talk about it.
First up, I believe it’s possible to work in social media and to also live a calm life, contrary to the popular narrative that SMM’s must be chronically online/always on/plugged in/[insert any other jargon that basically means working 24/7].
Let me tell you a story... when I first started freelancing, I wanted to be the easiest person to work with. I was at the end of the phone whenever you wanted me, I’d hop on my laptop and sort something at the drop of a hat and my responses were lightning fast.
The problem was, my clients weren’t really expecting this from me, their messages on a day I didn’t work for them weren’t an immediate request, but my nervous system couldn’t recognise this because I’d conditioned myself to believe that I was going to lose clients and work if I didn’t get back to them ASAP.
I wanted to be easy and flexible for other people, but this led to my life not being easy for me to live.
I know people are sick of hearing the word ‘boundaries’ but it IS really important to have boundaries with yourself and those you work with.
For me that looks a bit like:
- My clients knowing when I am available, and that they won’t get a response outside of these hours
- Not working on evenings and weekends unless absolutely necessary
- Screen time limits & apps that help me to block scrolling on social after my working day has finished
- Proper holiday and time off work, where the laptop isn’t a third wheel and I have an OOO on my emails
As a final note, your clients or managers often don’t need you respond in 0.5 seconds. You should be able to push back on a request without being scared to lose your job.](https://scontent-lhr11-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/741092568_18090567044622294_2957137981676255888_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=101&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiQ0xJUFMuYmVzdF9pbWFnZV91cmxnZW4uQzMifQ%3D%3D&_nc_ohc=YG5FQl-X8BQQ7kNvwFKfr_v&_nc_oc=AdqUkFnfvl9mzE6FpAc0Lfog3nPsOuXlcl5FHP4mygbqTPVC7jCkMr6YBipghncakx8&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-lhr11-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=Jl8xyWClSnOloxY1-fZooA&_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQLxQ0qqoeAgI2W7GTj7Y2VN4ZuhOnLlRWQmSiSfST4uZ_EHstdddiQCVNz9xfNMjL1SERbE2suv&oh=00_AQNCtocXtLzkfM4Jjg12u6-wxlgNPWcROtXGzW5jKXe-Cw&oe=6ADBBC3E)

Being great at your job ≠ how many hours in a day you spend sat at your desk or glued to your phone.
Rest and time offline gives you space for creativity, and more importantly, stops you from burning out.
My favourite mantra: NOTHING IS THAT DEEP ✨
