FB Blocking Can Be Healing & Freeing! When to Block’em!

I’m so curious, have you ever been in a situation where your hand just hovers over that button that says “block” ‘delete & goodbye’.. BUT the thought of blocking “That Someone” felt kind of good, but also bad, scary or nervous?

I feel so compelled to share some learnings because I didn’t realize that so many of you JUST might be going through the same pains, problems, trials & tribulations I did years ago:

Many years ago, when I was going through my dark days of depression, sometimes it was my Facebook Friends that were the only light & love of my day!

Fast Forward to “Now”, my Block list has gotten actually quite large. Being candid, it’s not because I get joy out of blocking or deleting people. Neither because I don’t want to help as many people as I can to what I call the “Sunny Side of Life” within Social Retail! It’s because some people are just angry, full of negativity, chaos, storm & with endless drama. I’m just not the teacher, nor ray of sunshine for them, & that’s ok! Not everyone’s ray of sunshine is going to match with somebody else’s. 

Sometimes it’s ok to remember that we’re not in kindergarten anymore, where we think we HAVE to be everybody’s best friend. Sometimes it’s ok to have closure & say goodbye.

I’m going to give you some insights, signs & tips so it might be easier to have some clarity & closure in your life!

1.  The first question we can ask ourselves: Is there someone in my circle that when I’m about to post something on Facebook or create a live video, WE feel that we can’t even show up as our true authentic self? Because we’re worried about what they might think? Or what they might do or say on our content (post)? Maybe they’re going to be a copycat, snatch it up,  re-purpose it or re-market it. Or express what we feel is mean, skeptical comments.

 It’s time to block people when they’re impeding our ability to show up in our real natural self.

When we’re hesitant, not showing up with our bubbly self, not showing up in a way that your audience gets every little bit of your empowerment, enlightenment, encouragement, & sunshine.

BLOCK.

You’re scared that someone will cut and copy and paste themselves into your identity. Perhaps, already had a conversation with them. You told them that you’ve noticed that their content looks similar to yours & plagiarism is not cool. Expressing, you appreciate them using your content as inspiration but you encourage them to write their own material & reword it their own way. If they don’t get that message, then definitely it’s time to say goodbye! It’s time to block these people! 

2.  If the person is so filled with drama & negativity, that causes you anxiety, worry & stress before your fingers can hit the keyboard. Then it is definitely time to block them. It’s not helping you in any way & it’s stiffening something within yourself & your audience will feel that something isn’t right.

Other women are very in tune with how we show up, so we have to show our Real Self!

3.   If you’ve got that weird vibe, it’s ok to let them go. Trust your gut & your instincts ALWAYS. We all get some weird vibes with certain people. Especially if they are of their opposite sex or their profile looks a bit sketchy & you get that stalker vibe. Do yourself a favor & block them! It is ultimately about healing ourselves. “Out of sight, out of mind”. 

This is YOUR business, it’s imperative that you feel the freedom & confidence to show your true & authentic self so you can educate, enlighten & inspire women.  So they in turn will feel confident to approach you about your product, service, or business or opportunity.  The people that you are blocking were not likely to ever join your business nor buy your products.  They were never a cheerleader in your life & were never going to help you nor support in any way form or fashion! 

When it comes to family and friends, or close relatives, some people are very uncomfortable with blocking them.

But there is a little button that says “unfollow” or “see less of”. So they’re not showing up in your newsfeed unless you purposely go to their wall, you’ll never see their drama or negativity & you can breathe freely again! 

It’s a personal level of healing & it’s actually our responsibility to take action! The situation isn’t going to change, that person isn’t going to change, so we have to take the lead in the “break-up”. Blocking that person instead of building more stress, worry, anxiety & fret. We know where our thoughts go our energy flows!  We want our positive energy & good vibes to be spread around! 

I really hope you stop feeling guilty, ashamed, or nervous about blocking people who are making you feel less than the amazing woman you are!! Our social feed has to be filled with empowering people who make you feel better, bigger, braver, more powerful not feeling like we are walking on egg shells or worse! Embrace the woman that you are & let her shine through in every aspect of your life! 

Of course, if you found some value you are welcome to share this forward to a lady friend in need!

Cheers, Roxanne
See you on The Sunny Side of Life!

P.S. People often ask me; Roxanne I can see you LOVE being a “Cheerleader” in all women’s lives; BUT what is it you really do? To answer that, I use social media platforms to market trendy highly consumable products that YOU shop for every week!  Most women don’t go far without their phones & do A LOT of online shopping so I help empower, support & teach women who “want a bit more in life” do the same. More Sisterhood. More Tribe. More Fun. More income within Social Retail ..
