Disconnect to Reconnect: My Surprising Week-Long LinkedIn Detox! I wanted to share with my network that I recently took a deliberate break from LinkedIn for a week to focus on other aspects of my life and work. In today's digital age, it's easy to get sucked into the constant stream of updates and feel pressure to stay connected 24/7. Why did I take a break? 👉 I needed to recharge and prioritize self-care, learning, and relationships outside of this platform. 👉 I wanted to dive deeper into projects, reading, and meaningful conversations that weren't limited by a screen. What did I gain? 👉 Clarity on my priorities 👉 Renewed energy and motivation 👉 Fresh perspectives from diverse sources 👉 Deeper connections with loved ones What I learned: 👉 Balance is key to maintaining productivity and well-being 👉 There's a world of knowledge and inspiration beyond LinkedIn (as amazing as this community is!) I'm back, feeling revitalized and ready to engage with you all again! What are some ways you maintain balance and prioritize your well-being?

As I reflect on the past year and look forward to 2025, something strikes me: This community we have is one-sided. I pick the topics of blogs, weeks of thoughts, or general posts. You read them and sometimes give feedback through a thumbs up, and, if I’m fortunate, with a comment. ✨ I’d like to change this a bit next year. We’re built for connection. I want to connect with you more closely to serve you better. So I need your help! What do you want me to write about? ❓ Is there a past topic you want me to dive into more? ❓ Is there a situation in your life that makes you want to learn more about a specific topic? ❓ Do you want longer blogs or shorter ones; or are you good with the average current length? (I do post partial blogs for the longer blogs and include a link in the social post to my website to view it in its entirety.) 📣 In short, talk to me. Let me know how I can support you better through my various postings. Message, email, text, call me…whatever is easiest for you. Thank you…for being part of this community, for taking precious time to connect, and for being you! May this holiday season be one of joy for you and your loved ones and may 2025 be a year of growth, health, and beauty! #lifecoach #communication #listening #speaking #connection

It's reflection day baby! New week, same habits - so here's what I learnt last week 💪 - Your competition isn't other people. Your competition is your procrastination, your negative thoughts and your comfort zone. Compete against that. - If I do a job in 30 minutes, it's because I spent 10 years learning how to do that in 30 minutes. You owe me for the years, not the minutes. - c/o Muna Mahmoud-Samba - Working with people better than you is a blessing, not a threat - c/o Elfried Samba Nominate: Raymond Otene M. your turn for a reflection post 🔥 Pictured: My little man getting his first big whiff of Brisbane air! ---------------------------------- Hi, I'm Chanel 👋 I help businesses grow through key marketing initiatives and strategies. I post on here about the reality of owning a business for the first time, almost burning myself out and taking mental health leave, and what it means to be human while doing all of this. ⚡ Need some marketing help?

Lost in Distractions Have you ever had a clear plan for the day, only to find yourself lost in endless scrolling on social media? 🤦♂️📱 It happens to the best of us. A momentary distraction can turn into hours wasted, leaving us with regret and unfinished tasks. I wrote this short poem to reflect on the struggle: I had a plan, clear in my mind, A task to finish, goals to find. But then came social media’s call, A scroll, a swipe—I lost it all. Posts and videos caught my eye, Minutes turned to hours gone by. The work I planned was left behind, And regret soon filled my mind. Why waste my time on endless screens, And lose the chance to chase my dreams? 🌟 Now it is a chance to make it right, I’ll stay focused and hold on tight. 💪 We all face these moments, but what matters is how we bounce back. Let’s strive to guard our time ⏳ and focus on what truly matters. How do you manage distractions in your daily life? Share your thoughts below!👇 #TimeManagement ⏰ #Focus 💡 #PersonalGrowth 🚀 #LinkedInCommunity

Do we have unrealistic expectations of happiness? It’s easy to think we need to be at a “10” all the time—especially on LinkedIn. You see posts about funding rounds, people hitting $10k months, companies getting acquired, and non-stop business wins. But that’s just one side of the story. The reality is, LinkedIn is like a highlight reel. People share their biggest successes, their proudest moments—rarely the struggles or the long nights that went into getting there. And sure, I get it. We all want to put our best foot forward. But I think it’s important to remember that life isn’t always a string of successes. And that’s okay. It’s normal to feel like you’re not always at your best. I’ve found that when I scroll through LinkedIn and see all these wins, I have to remind myself: "This isn’t the full picture." Social media—LinkedIn, Instagram, whatever—doesn’t show the bumps in the road, the missed goals, the businesses that didn’t work out. So here’s how I look at it: → Happiness includes both ups and downs. → Online posts rarely show the full picture. → Prioritize what's truly important to you. For me, it’s all about managing my expectations and not getting caught up in comparing myself to someone else’s best moments. What about you? How do you manage your expectations of happiness with all the wins you see online? #MentalHealth #RealTalk #EmotionalWellbeing

📵 Are you drowning in distractions? It’s time to take control of your focus! In today’s hyper-connected world, distractions are everywhere—buzzing notifications, endless scrolling the YouTube or Instagram reels calling your name when there’s "nothing to do." But here’s the truth: your focus is your superpower. Start small: ✅ Turn off non-essential notifications—your time deserves better. ✅ Create tech-free zones—your mind needs breathing space. ✅ Schedule your day—what gets planned gets done. By limiting distractions, you’re not just gaining time—you’re reclaiming your energy and attention for what truly matters. Imagine reading that book you’ve always wanted or finally learning a new skill! 💡 What’s your biggest distraction, and how do you handle it? Share in the comments below! Let’s build a community of focus warriors—because a focused life is a fulfilling life. #FocusOnWhatMatters,#DigitalDetox,#ProductivityTips,#MindfulLiving,#TimeManagement Follow 🔗 Like 👍 and Share ✌ Image: Google

To anyone who needs to hear this, you are just a break away from a couple of realisations I was out of action for the past 9 days as I was traveling While being away from LinkedIn wasn't a part of the plan initially I fell ill on the 2nd day of my trip This led to some procrastination and I couldn't show up here But, I thought of taking it as an opportunity - An opportunity to be away from this professional space because I think I deserved it - An opportunity to be away from social media in general to truly live every moment because I enjoyed it - An opportunity to listen to stories and perspectives without any online disturbance We consume so much information daily. But, have you ever tried decluttering your mind from those same articles, applications and platforms To actually live in the moment by being fully present in the offline world? I experienced the reality of being away from social media for a week and some realisations hit hard I'll keep those for another post but there's one thing I'd like to share with my community Before the year ends, finish that one thing in your checklist (if you had one) or check off something you've wanted to do from a very long time Agar regret reh gaya, toh no matter what, you will not be able to return back here Instead of waiting for the right time to take a break or an opportunity from the Universe Create that opportunity yourself. What's the one thing you want to do before 2024 ends? Let me know in the comments section #break #personaldevelopment #bestadvice #whatinspiresme #mondaymotivation
