how to scroll less & post more

[@LynetteAdkins]

if you make content take this as your sign to keep going!! i know it's not always easy, but take it from me it's sooo freeing to express yourself without overthinking things & it's something i'm still working on myself. just remember it's a journey❤ love y'all!

[@ChimaxMC]

Saw the notification and came here immediately ❤. Social media has negative and positive sides so Idg why people judge it only based on the negative sides

[@ChimaxMC]

I’m also not to active on KZbin unless to watch your videos 😂. And for that can I clip your videos and post on instagram and TikTok? I’m going to send you a DM and an email on it 🫶🏽

[@mianavigator]

thanks for this reminder. ☺️

[@AyandaMitchel]

Love you❤!

[@tiffanymiglia]

adore youuuu

[@kflecha1]

I needed this I want to scroll less and post more ❤ sending love to everyone here ❤

[@LynetteAdkins]

sending love to you as well!❤❤

[@casstheepimp]

This is freakishly right on time, because I was having a conversation with myself last night about spending less time consuming media and nurturing my creativity and reconnecting back to that especially as someone who does want to create content around dance/ pre- professional dance and being a business owner. The battle now is getting out of my own way and actually putting in the effort to create the life I want rather than just watch others vicariously live their life which is what I’ve been noticing within myself as well, which in a way makes me feel like I’m behind in life which isn’t healthy to my individual journey or my mental health

[@damondominique]

you get it. that’s all.

[@alexandria65]

huh

[@anjel714]

Honestly, I've been going back and forth for way too long about starting some sort of social media journey outside of my business. Getting out of my own head is really freakin hard (Gemini Sun, Libra Moon). There's always 'something' that I need to do before I can go all in, lol. Thank you for this, the timing was divine, literally!!

[@LynetteAdkins]

i feel this!! sometimes we want to be perfectionists but then it gets in the way of us just doing the thing. you got this though!❤

[@lastnamefirstname2390]

Same

[@iidentifyasaPSLGoddess]

First thing to do is stop using your 'sign' as an excuse for any bull krap personality or habit you have. I don't understand why people get into that Zodiac mess, we all already lie to ourselves, give excuses, make assumptions and dodge scenarios wayyy too much for y'all to delve into that Krap! Literally WORSENING the whole thing! If y'all know a tiny bit of mental psychology you would think about how DANGEROUS that stuff is to a humans way of life. Just use it for fun nothing more.

[@rachellov]

I'm a Gemini sun and libra moon too! I feel this exact same way.

[@riturner]

this was hella needed. thank you.

[@LynetteAdkins]

❤️❤️

[@Aziamel]

It started off as me deleting my all my social medias for a week and it’s been a month. I made a KZbin video about it because as a visual person I needed to experience all the other things I used to do bur didn’t have time for due to life and being on social media. Love videos like this because transparency is needed

[@dekeskey]

Even though I think your videos are tailored towards female creators, I have to admit that as a guy I energetically resonate with what you say. Posting is about self expression - not perfection. Just putting oneself out there without overthinking is the most important thing. Thanks again!

[@adele_kehinde]

I needed to hear this. Totally takes the pressure off. Thank you❤❤

[@TshepoMmeto-x9k]

I love your videos, so inspiring and they motivate me to finally start my own youtube journey. Thank you.

[@Latoshabosslife]

I use to overthink my content! I use to get so discouraged when my numbers don’t reflect my hard work. But I just had to stop overthinking it and just post. As soon as I did my numbers started to go up. ❤

[@victorromero7750]

I literally told my brother in the gym today we have to stop just reaching for our phones .. it’s supposed to be normal and healthy just being a normal human being sitting still ..

[@wellliveon]

Aight spirit I got it this time. I been struggling with posting and figured it was because I consume it too much. This is the 3rd sign.

[@LynetteAdkins]

yesss you got this!

[@aforautistic8635]

Keep going!!!

[@kayelease]

Girl you are speaking FACTSSSSS . I just love your content 🫶

[@SannaKartau]

yesss thanks for your thoughts. esp resonated with the adding-good-stuff-in-not-focusing-on-rejecting-bad-stuff idea. could be a standalone video even.

[@karahdaniel7266]

I was just having this conversation with my friend. Thank you so much for bringing up this topic! ✨ I really enjoy this upload

[@hoppa45678]

i love this format! feels like talking to a bestie on ft! ty for being real

[@IAMLIBERATED383]

Ahhh love you Lynette this is such an aligned video 🫶🏾💫

[@LynetteAdkins]

i'm so glad❤❤

[@coast2coast8306]

I’ve been in a funk slump lately - thank you for the reminder. Gratitude is so important. ❤

[@GoBelindaGo]

Ok, come on now Universe. I was just on the phone talking to my sister about this exact topic and then your video popped up. Thank you for this sis, great vid!

[@nikkhalia]

natural lynette is so pretty, idk why you say “excuse the appearance”. also yes the ABH brow pencil sucks. Maybelline’s express brow ultra slim pencil is half the price, doesn’t break, and lasts soooo much longer. I recommend that one. I also would say to use a lighter brow color. Your brows in this video were really flattering (color & shape) -> “WEEK IN MY LIFE - PR packages, planning content, being productive, catching up with friends from college”

[@avokardoes7]

I barely ever comment but I LOVE your videos and perspectives. Doing the work vs getting satisfaction from watching others do it. You always put my exact thoughts into words.

[@333lavender]

Girl. YES. This video is EVERYTHING. I've been learning how to have a healthier relationship with using social media as a tool. I used to feel ashamed about sharing anything about myself and not my clients. Ive realized i can do both and i dont want to hide anymore. Just you being you and sharing this video is an inspiration. Thank you 🫶🏽

[@kyladanae]

I start overthinking and comparing myself then I don’t post because I worry about what people think. I was getting triggered by instagram so I took a break and I don’t care about posting there anymore. I like KZbin.

[@maniboyd5860]

Thank you sooo much for having these conversations on camera, I’ve been having these same internal thoughts where i love posting (def not consistent enough to be a content creator per say) and I still looove watching my gworls on yt & tt like Allyiah & Kirah but lately I feel like I’m “falling behind” if I don’t watch every single vlog and I almost feel disloyal 😭 but it’s really because I’ve been working more, traveling, going out more etc. This made me realize it’s a positive thing and I just been living more! 🥲

[@BiblioBlckCanary]

Very enjoyable and helpful, thank you

[@rachaeljackson3759]

Really resonated with this video. Lots of great points 🙏🏾

[@LifeWithDes__]

Loved this so much! Honestly needed to hear this so bad because I am constantly overthinking my content and have been scrolling way too much lately! Love this style of video but honestly I miss your vlogs too! Thank you for this girly!

[@TysonMichael77]

This is so good! Cause I’ve been off instagram for a couple of weeks now and I’m thinking I might go til December off of it. It’s been helping with my mental health because as someone who is a creative and I’ve built such a good brand n community. I also realized I felt this need to post or consume so much. This is such a good reminder to slow down ❤ thank you

[@katarinathesecond]

You’re my comfort place to go to like advice from bestie 🥰 thanks for this vidi🙏🏽 I’ve also tried lately to obtain this mindset to not care or overthink and really detach from the outcome. Some days are better and the other I want throw my phone out of the window 😄 I guess practice makes a master

[@michellehicks-fx9hi]

Hey girlie, I came across one of your videos today, and I subscribed. I like that you are still learning and don't have it all together. I am gonna start posting soon soon so I feel that I could learn a lot from you. ❤

[@Chosenshines]

I so needed this message. I recently started on my creator journey and I’ve noticed how consumption affects my output. I will say it has helped me to know how to talk to KZbin as a whole. I never had social media before this. But I must share my testimony and hopefully find a soul tribe, because it’s just me and my boys. I know it’s a long shot but I’m hopeful. Thanks for sharing ❣️

[@evelinatyrnerova]

This is for everyone who's afraid to post their content. I started 2 weeks ago and I was sooo afraid my classmates might judge me and laugh at my content but literally NOBODY CARES! Cause we're all having our own problems and nobody's thinking about you as much as YOU DO. I am so proud of myself for coming out of my comfort zone and finally doing something I've wanted to do for years! And let me tell you - when I found out nobody actually cares about my content (which might sound weird or sad - but we don't want inactive subscribers anyway, right?) - I started to feel like I'm literally capable of anything now. I feel like I can do whatever I want cause people care the most about themselves anyway! So this is your sign to just POST THE CONTENT & keep going!!!! 🤍

[@yohangoa]

I have never related to a video more. You hit so many good points. I love your rawness and authenticity. Content like yours is what inspires me to start my creative journey. We appreciate you!

[@raihyah]

love this video! ❤ been working on this lately so this was perfect timing & a great reminder

[@natekandy]

I’ve uploaded 20 videos to KZbin. I needed to hear this. I prefer to make videos without having to constantly second guess what people want to see or caring about the outcome, especially so early on. Thank you for this video

Consume less & do you!! ❤ learn from social media at a healthy rate, the things u love, the things that interest u! The rest out of sight out of mind 🙌🏼 keep elevating! You gave great advice! Must keep ur “social media” environment healthy & you can NEVER lose staying true to yourself! & love the makeup & natural lashes >>>>

[@KemalKelenler]

I love you thank for being closer then my family

[@ayyyejesterdazed]

I appreciate how you show your bare face and aren’t always portraying unrealistic “natural” beauty standards. Beyonce’s “I woke up like this” moment was such a terrible thing for young women. We always go in on the KarJenners but let public figures like Bey get away with telling us bold face lies.

[@planetalarimar]

Wow it’s insane how your videos are always just what I need to hear. I’m an artist and “content creator” and it’s been hard for me to be consistent. I’ve always wanted to start a KZbin channel since I was a kid but I’ve always been scared to do so. The idea of longform content is intimidating & now I’m realizing that maybe it’s bc of a fear of being perceived but not understood.

[@dv.harris]

this is my sign, I’ve literally been posting everyday other day on tik tok and on my other youtube account & ive felt unmotivated lowkey bc idk what to post … but thanks for this girl I appreciate it & you so much ❤

[@AlterYourEgos]

I think my phone is listening to me. I just told myself not to worry about my numbers on my KZbin video, just post 100 videos before I start looking at analytics. Just have fun and post what you like. Thanks for the confirmation!!

[@aquariana.the.real.1]

Yes as content creators we are messengers and by consuming too much we loose the message in confusion, that’s why we must have discernement and consume less.

[@NLLavien]

love this video so much! i have been wanting to post again but have been loving being off social media. thank you for this advice, love your videos! p.s.: i use the morphe micro brow pencil! half the price and a great dupe to the abh pencil!!

[@ShannonCoty]

21:40 when she said "you can post for 5 ir 10 years and no one will see it" ME AFFFF 😂 been creating on youtube since 2015!! I had a small pop off where i was getting maybe 10-20k views a video, but it went as fast as it came. Now I get maybe 40 views a video 💀 yet I still post! I love making videos and will still post even there was no one to see it. I'm hopeful one day I'll find my community who love the stuff I make and we can learn and grow together ❤️

[@shouldntmatter]

This was a great watch Lynette! Thank you for sharing what you've learned as a content creator. As someone who has been creating content here on KZbin for half a year, I can relate to the feeling of disappointment when a video doesnt get as many views as you had hoped! There is so much time and effort put into these videos that sometimes it's like damnnn thats all we got?! lol but idk, maybe this gave you insight on what your viewers want to watch from you..? just trying to find the positives here lol. I ended up ordering The Picture of Dorian Gray by your reccs! Anyway, sounds like you know what you need to stay on top of your mental health as you navigate these spaces. Keep being authentic and I trust that the rest will fall into place

[@raeleenolivia]

You’re so right I made some really fun travel vlogs that got me a lot more views and subscribers cuz ppl obviously watch a lot of travel vlogs so when I went back to vlogging my regular life I was like no one’s gonna watch these and upset that the views didn’t stay consistent but it’s okay I love watching myself and seeing the growth! I’ve been trying to ignore the numbers I wish I could turn them off

[@shelbiemartinez]

Regarding your last video, I haven’t watched it yet but I remember seeing the title and thinking “wow that’s a really good video idea, I need to watch that” and I put it in my watch later videos. I’m shocked it’s not bringing in views the algorithm is weird 🙄

[@darielleneanne]

Literally just got back to posting on my channel after 2 years of hiatus. I had such deep and controversial topics to adress to *society*, I realized I was terrified of visibility more than I thought. I needed to heal deep fears. Now that I'm back, It's also true that I noticed how often people post and I don't know how they keep up with posting more than 3 times a week on youtube, seems crazy to me haha. Good luck to everyone 💓
