When I first started this blog, I told myself that I would try posting at least once a month. I did pretty well for half a year and then it kinda went downhill. This time, I've been gone for too long. 3 full months to be exact. Been thinking about eliminating the resistance, and I think I know what it might be.
The perfectionist side of me felt the need to create beautiful cover pictures and ensure that there was sufficient content for each post. Ngl, my motivation got significantly reduced while thinking about the amount of work needed.
I’m now reminding myself that running this blog is a hobby and NOT work. I should post when I feel like it and stop being so demanding on myself to keep to a schedule or make sure that every post is special before I can send it out. Wabisabi, right? Come on, practise what you preach yo - appreciate the imperfections!!
Side note: I have found some unexpected motivation from the Wix Analytics. I didn’t realise that there was an increase in viewership until I received an email notification that congratulated my blog for attaining a certain number of clicks within a month. Initially, I thought it might have been a fluke, but up till today, it seems that people are continuing to find my blog successfully through Google! Yay!
This blog started out with no serious intentions of gaining followers or viewers, but I’ve got to say, seeing the increasing number of people who visit my blog or read posts really heartens me. It’s nice to know that there are people out there who are interested in the things that I share or the way that I write. Who knows, perhaps my posts are also helping others in unexplainable ways? I can only hope so, hahaha.
While I am in the midst of figuring out the type of content that I enjoy creating, I feel excited to write more and in the process, reflect about my life. Looking forward to the day when the number of my returning visitors increases too~
