So, not sure if you noticed or not, but I didn't post anything this weekend. And guess what. The earth still turned and the sun still came up. One thing I wanted to make sure I didn't do while blogging was to let it stress me out. I want my blog to be an outlet to share the things I am already doing. Instead it seems like I started doing things only to blog about them. I don't want blogging to ever seem like a chore to me. So I felt like I needed to take a step back for few days. Don't worry. I'm still going to continue blogging, but I need to shift my focus to living my life. Hopefully readjusting my mindset about it will help me create some more meaningful content. Even just having this weekend off has helped me to become a bit more inspired.
That being said, I do have some great posts ready for this week and will try to keep it up! And if you're wondering what the hell is up with my hair, this is my super fabulous wig. I have to wear it to one of my part time jobs and it hurts my head. How do some people wear these things everyday?
No pressure, I agree and think blogging should be fun and I don't need a post a day to like your blog. I read it because i like it, even if you would post only once a month!
ReplyDeleteI totally feel ya on the blogging stress, and I agree sometimes you just have to take a nice little break!! :) Plus I feel when I have more time in between often my posts are more genuine, rather than me popping something out quick.

I have been feeling the stress of blogging lately too and it it is so silly. It shouldn't be a chore but something you enjoy. I am glad the mini break was good for you :] Can't wait to see what you have in store for this week. Eeep. That stinks that you have to wear a wig. It must be tough to wear in the summer. I love your colorful hair.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel. I started feeling that way for a while and I had to take a step back and figure out what I was doing and why I was doing it. If it feels like a chore to me, I won't do it either! I try to schedule posts during the weekends so that I don't have to be glued to my computer, but if I don't get around to scheduling a post, I don't let it stress me out anymore. Why do you have to wear a wig for one of your jobs??
ReplyDeleteThe people at my part time job don't appreciate my purple hair. It's their loss. =)
DeleteUggh! Totally their loss! Sucks that you have to cover it, but it kind of makes it fun, too! You get to wear a wig and have completely different hair!
DeleteI totally agree with that! I can already see how blogging can turn stressful in a second and I've only been blogging since June. That's a great motto to live by. Thanks for inspiring me!
ReplyDeleteGood for you. My blog stresses me out. I spend way too much time on my blog. I don't even have time to read others! :( I think I am taking weekends off from now on, or only reading other blogs with my morning coffee.
