Over the last few years, I’ve become pretty good at journaling. Maybe not always the most consistent, but I certainly have benders where I will write for hours multiple times a week late at night.
Writing on a page has always been therapeutic. Reminding myself to go slow, breathe, and really be mindful about what I am lead to put onto a page. Every time I delve into my mind and investigate the thoughts that loom, I get to know myself a little better. It helps that I only need to focus on how I speak to myself and not about something that invites a response or needs justification.
Writing publicly seems to be an entirely different experience. If I could post at least 15% of what I wrote personally, consistently, I am sure I would grow in unbelievable ways. For some reason I either care too much about what others think, or just lack confidence in standing for my personal experiences.
How to break the mould? Push forward. Keep on keepin’ on. Do more, talk less.
There’s plenty of content that I consume that provides me personally with priceless wisdom and knowledge, that I really need to write about. Many of the mentor figures I study, constantly preach how important it is to post, post, post. Build. Start a project. Adjust, adapt, and start with one brick at a time.
Where to go from here? Well it will help if I talk less about what I want to do, and show more by doing. How to schedule my posts or decide what should be posted? I am really going to force myself to be less of a perfectionist towards my work. Here’s to the next chapter.
