On One Hand... The phrase "stop and smell the roses" doesn't apply to you, because you always make sure to take a strong sniff. You're present in your conversations, you live for the now, and you're all about savoring the moment.

On The Other Hand... It's 2014. Social media, smartphones, and being in somewhat-constant contact are not the exception any more, they're the norm. More often than not, our various jobs and projects involve some form of social media, whether it be tweeting on behalf of your company or posting a photo on Instagram for your blog.

And while we're not necessarily living for another moment, the moments we are living for are the same ones we're expected to stop, drop, and document to keep our brand alive, both online and off. The Balance: When you love to live in the present, the necessities of modern-day marketing can be detrimental to your daily peace of mind - if you give them that control.

While we're all about boosting your followers and building your biz, we've found that modern, mindful gals need social media tips to stay sane on the smartphone. Here are few solid strategies so you can have your life and post it, too:
