On Showing Up

This is going to be a shorter one than usual because as I'm writing this, I'm struggling with a killer headache, an overwhelming feeling of burnout, and a lack of better topics to write about even though paradoxically my mind is swarming with ideas for topics.

I had this challenge to write on my blog for 30 days in a row. I went into it knowing fully that I'm going to be experiencing days like this one, where I might not feel like sharing or coming up with some ideas to discuss with the world (more accurately my few dear loyal followers), and where I would question why I'm doing this whole thing.

But as I mentioned in one of my posts, the fact that I'm actively trying to fight off my perfectionistic side and push through to create, I decided to always keep that as a reminder to myself and just keep showing up.

I'm now twelve days into the process (this post counts as the 13th) and just acknowledging this to myself is giving me a tiny bit of a sense of motivation to keep pushing forward and show up more and even better than before.

Also, it is kind of liberating to sometimes treat this space as my journal where I could just be honest about how I feel as a person off the screen!
