What have you been putting off doing? Why?
If I’m being honest, I’ve been putting off blogging for a while now. You do see me post, but its often not crafted well or been scheduled from a long time. It’s not that I don’t want to write or that I don’t have ideas to share—it’s more about the mental struggle that comes with it. Writing has felt difficult, overwhelming even, and I’ve been grappling with my mental health, which has made the process harder.
Blogging, for many, is a creative outlet or a way to connect with others. But for me, it’s become something I avoid, and I think the pressure of having to get it right has added to that. When you’re not in a good mental space, it’s tough to face a blank page and think about pouring yourself into it.
However, I know routines are important. When life feels uncertain or overwhelming, having something consistent to lean on can help. That’s what I’m hoping will work for me. I’ve started introducing a writing routine, hoping that the more I do it, the easier it will become. Routines can help you take small steps, which eventually turn into progress.
I’m not expecting miracles overnight, but I do hope that with time, I’ll begin to enjoy writing again. I hope that the routine will help me push through those tough moments when I feel like giving up. Writing used to be something I loved, and I’d love for it to feel that way again. Instead of letting blogging feels absolutely ginormous in my life, I chose ‘done’ over ‘perfection’. And maybe that will convince my mind that writing is not that bad and it’s actually enjoyable.
So please bear with me while I take care of me and find my way back to writing <3
