IS IT SELF-CENTERED TO POST PHOTOS OF Myself ON INSTAGRAM?

⁣I used to always ask myself this question and today badass spiritual babe Stephanie asked me something similar. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
She said that she was nervous to get into “influencing” because she doesn’t want to be self-centered or fake. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
She, like us all, have definitely met people who are entirely different in-person versus on social media. I get it. We all know that person. And it’s not really his/her/their fault — it’s the paradigm of thought which pressures us with Instagram marketing rubbish and tells us if we don’t have thousands of followers or likes, our voice isn’t important. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So people have to adapt to that, right? That’s where the disconnect lies. ⁣⁣I believe we’re all waking up though. I saw an amazing post by Chelsea Lauren yesterday with her sweatpants and coffee showing us her hustle and what it REALLY looks like. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I sent a few coaching videos in my Ultravioletly Aligned Badass Spiritual Babe group chat this morning still in my bed in my PJs because that’s how I began my day. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So is it narcissistic to post about yourself on social media? ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The quick answer is NO. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The longer answer is...no. Not if you post WHAT’S AUTHENTIC TO YOU & WHO YOU REALLY ARE — instead of a false persona of you. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Does that mean you can’t get professional photos done, check your spelling and grammar and maybe tag some local businesses or influencers in your posts? No...⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But, your words, your captions, your blogs — honey those need to come FROM YOUR HEART not your wallet. We can smell a salesperson from a mile away, we can taste fake and false personas. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
My advice: post whatever photo you want, bonus points if it’s unedited and natural, in a natural setting, of you BEING YOU. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
As far as captions go, this is where you should be AS AUTHENTIC AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If God/the universe blessed you with good genes (cmon guys you know what I’m talkin about) or a good photographer, or a good eye then heck yea use that to your advantage to grab people’s attention so they will read your words. ⁣⁣

Your voice is what really matters.
