Not a bad view, gray skies and all.

I’ve been trying an insta theme — quote pics on Monday’s, rotating selfie/non pics on Wednesday’s/Friday’s. It’s helped me post regularly, which has been nice. But like all social media seems to do, it’s starting to grate on my soul.

Are the pictures good enough quality. Can ppl tell I have no photography skills. Is the lighting okay. It isn’t okay. Oh god it’s horrible. And the selfies — do I look okay in this pic. This angle is so unflattering. But I shouldn’t worry about attractiveness right, I should be comfortable in my own skin but I’m not and I hate full body shots and I’ll just post another face pic instead.

Suffice to say, this insta schedule is not working for me.

While I liked forcing myself to post regularly, these mind games are exhausting. So I’m going to try to find a different balance — maybe post twice a week, no theme required.

Do you keep an posting schedule? What tips and tricks keep you Insta-sane?
