Using Instagram After 2+ Years — I Was Shocked

It pierces you and you don’t even know it.

Deleting Instagram changed my life.

I was an influencer and was building content since I was 18. First about weight loss by documenting my journey of shedding 25kgs and then about solo traveling across Europe.

But I had no idea that I was

  • low on self-esteem
  • had a scarcity mindset
  • had zero dreams in life

Wait, let me explain.

What Changed When I Let Go of It

There was no plan to delete it.

I was at work and my phone suddenly stopped working. And I’m one of those people who buy an iPhone to use it for at least four years. I was so annoyed!

So for a few months, until the new iPhone would come out, I used a decade-old iPhone 4 which could only handle basic texts and calls.

I was so upset about my expensive phone getting spoilt. But today, I completely trust the Universe for its timing.

Exactly 2 years after this event, I quit my job to become self-employed.

I’m now more aligned with my purpose and live a better quality of life.
