Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, you just can’t seem to breakthrough on something important?

I have.

Sometimes I wonder if making reels and posts on social media are worth my time.

When something flops, it’s hard not to spiral into feeling like I need to prove my worth—to the world, to God, and honestly, to myself.

In the beginning, this social media adventure was going well. People were supportive and encouraging. But as you might know, the algorithms complicate everything.

Many who were so supportive in the beginning have told me they don’t see my posts come up for them anymore. New followers will like my stuff consistently for about two weeks and then I get lost in the abyss.

Growth has been painstakingly slow. Social media tells me it’s either because my content stinks, my hooks are bad, nobody wants what I have to offer, or else I just don’t know how to please the algorithm.

Yet real people have told me they love my content and always stop when my stuff pops up for them—but that it just doesn’t pop up very often anymore.

So… I enrolled in courses to learn how to work with the algorithm so it doesn’t work against me. I’ve done what they have said. I have modeled the hooks they suggest for my niche. I’ve done all of the things I’ve learned so far.

And still my viewership dwindles.

Interestingly, Instagram says that ‘shares’ and ‘watch time’ are the biggest indicators of whether or not a reel gets pushed out to a wider audience.

I thought for sure that my reel with 78 shares would have been pushed out to a wider audience. But nope. It stayed at a mere 450 views. That makes absolutely zero sense according to what I’ve been taught!

I thought that my 8 second reel with an average watch time of 10 seconds, and my 12 second reel with an average watch time of 14 seconds, would get pushed out to a wider audience… But no. They both stopped around 300–350 views.

Did I get lied to by the people I paid to teach me about the algorithm!?

I don’t think so—their advice is working well for everyone else.

Am I being suppressed because I speak the Truth about healing AND God’s role as the One who truly heals?

I don’t know.

I only know that I can’t seem to prove to the algorithms (or those who control them) that I’m worth a darn!! Which sometimes makes me feel like I need to prove to myself and everyone else that I am worth a heck of a lot more than a darn!!

And that’s not only difficult, but it’s extremely frustrating. I feel oppressed and hopeless. Like nothing I do will ever make a difference.

And then I remember that I’m not here to please the algorithms.

I am here to serve God by fulfilling my purpose—my mission. And I know I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing right now.

And maybe that’s the lesson.

To remember that I don’t have to prove myself to anyone (or anything).

I only need to do God’s will and follow His guidance.

So… whatever it is, my friend…

That thing that is so difficult, that you still feel called to pursue…

It is worth it.

Even if it only helps one person…

Even if it only changes you…

If you’re supposed to change course, God will let you know if or when you need to move on.

If you are ready to clear that need to ‘prove yourself, but don’t know how,’ so you can move forward with clarity and purpose, see the dose of enlightenment below.

This Dose of Enlightenment is a frequency equation meant to clear a hidden and trapped emotion that you’ve been holding onto. 

If today's emotion is one that we have already cleared, know that we are addressing a different layer or situation this time.

*******************************************************

Today’s emotion is: need to prove self, but don’t know how

How does this emotion apply to you? For best results, ponder this question and identify how need to prove self, but don’t know how applies to you.

Dose of Enlightenment: 86 + 914 = E

Say it out loud with intent: “eighty-six plus nine-fourteen equals enlightenment.”

Breathe. Let it go. Feel the shift. Allow your body to be filled with light.
