Rozanna Purcell has shared a brilliant Instagram post on her grid in an attempt to make Mondays a little less Mondayish.
Mondays are a pain, we get that but trying to think about this particular day of the week in a positive manner can only be a good thing.
The cookery author and entrepreneur said that Mondays used to be a pretty ‘shit’ day for her and said that she often felt she was lagging behind.
Her honesty is refreshing and she admits it was a day she “used to put herself down”.
“I started Monday always feeling behind, not good enough and just wanting the week to pass fast”.
The idea behind her post is that she wants her Mondays to feature “a content piece of content” and that if someone is having a particularly rotten time, they might get a laugh from what she has to say.
The point of tonight’s post is that everyone needs to stop taking Instagram as real life and while it’s not a new message by any means, that doesn’t make it any less important.
“We need to stop taking everything on here as really REAL life.
“When you scroll through the gram you’ll go onto so many different pages and see such beautiful photos, faces, bodies, food whatever and maybe think your life isn’t as great? Or why can’t I ever get good photos? These are all just perfect curated photos/ moments of such a tiny part of someone’s day”.
To reinforce her point, Rozanna shared a number of her personal photos, describing the side-by-side shots as “99.9% of my photos look vs the ones I post”.
She finishes by saying that you can never judge your reality from someone else’s “edited social media” and as Monday posts go, it’s a pretty strong effort.
More of this, please.
