Hey there, lovely people! Can you believe how long it's been since we last caught up!? Life got pretty hectic lately, and if I'm being real, a smidge of laziness crept in, causing this blog to take an unintentional nap hehe. School and life, no mercy too. I had so many post ideas bouncing around in my head, but you know how it goes...
- Life gets in the way. You know how it goes, right? Life is always throwing something at us 24/7! And let's be real, blogging takes time. If it's not paying the bills, it's totally cool to take a break from your blog.
- Too much pressure. You know, I've got to be honest here—blogging sometimes feels like a bit of a job or a chore for me. It takes away the fun from it, you know? I catch myself using excuses like "I don't feel like blogging" or "I'm just not in the mood today." It's like there's this unspoken competition in the blogging world, with people sharing amazing stuff regularly, and here I am, doing nothing, girl. Not a great sign, right?
- I feel like I have 'not good enough' post ideas. Even though I've got loads of good blog post ideas swirling around in my mind and jotted down in my notebook, I can't help but wonder, "Is it worth talking about?" or "Will anyone actually give it a read?" It's like I've reached a point where I'm overthinking a SIMPLE post.
- Not having enough time. One of the main reasons it's been crickets lately is because life has been super busy. It's like a never-ending cycle of craziness, and sadly, it leaves me with hardly any time to blog.
Now you know why it's been radio silent up in here. But fear not! There are ways to revive the good times and patch things up with my beloved blog. Truth is, I really enjoy...
- Reading blogs that inspire me. Well, when it comes to this, I've gotta give it to Bloglovin'—it's my go-to! HAHA. But seriously, it's a lifesaver. Even on days when I'm not really feeling up to blogging, scrolling through posts from my favorite bloggers on Bloglovin' somehow sparks my creativity. I've got a bunch of awesome bloggers in my follow list, and it really does the trick when I need that extra push to get back into the blogging groove.
- Just taking a break. Honestly, it's totally 100% fine to take a break from blogging. There are moments when I feel a bit overwhelmed and drained, and finding the right time can be a challenge. I used to stress about stepping back from blogging, but I've come to realize that I don't need to push myself so hard. It's perfectly okay to take a break, and I've learned to embrace that.
- Making a list. I actually jot down all the things I love about blogging in my little notebook. Why? Because it helps me zero in on the positive stuff and rediscover the joy in blogging! I've got this thing for making lists, you know? Once I'm done, I read them over and over until I'm all smiles. Only then does my brain kick into gear, and I can dive back into the world of blogging with a fresh perspective. It's my little ritual, and it works like a charm!
