This is a place where Jia and his incredible team track your progress for you, whatever habit you want to build in your life (“Habit Builder”). Every time I write here and hit “publish”, I’ll cross it off with a giant ‘X.’ What a lovely hit of dopamine!Īnd also, as of today, I’ll begin to track all words related to requisite writing (that is, writing that I plan to publish, or eventually publish not writing from my journal or notes taken while learning), pairing it with Jia Jiang’s Sisphyi Accountability camps (I chose “Flowy Writer” and “Habit Builder”), where I’m excited to start a new round, as of today. That’s why, beginning today, I’ll be tracking this on a wall near my desk. Lisa Nichols has an amazing quote that I wrote by hand on a blue post-it: Until the clock runs out, you can rewire your brain, you can teach your nervous system that the stakes don’t need to be that friggin’ high to write, edit, finish, submit and publish. That’s the beauty of this life we all have. This will be my canvas, my sketchbook, to work out what I’ll put out in all the different spaces. I want to intentionally decide what to publish, to apply for Medium publications–all of this I am still learning. At first, I had wanted to go all out and publish a new post on Medium, but I realize that I want to be more intentional there, especially after attending Medium Day this past weekend and learning of their pivot to quality writing versus pumping out high-volume posts just to earn money on their Medium Partner Program. Inspired by Austin Kleon’s book, Show Your Work! and his free 30-Day Challenge PDFs on his website, I’ve decided to show up every day and self-publish a blog post here. So to battle that urge to quit at the first sign of distress, I’m trying something different for the next 30 days. It’s easier to dabble, to quit before I have to face too much rejection. But for some reason, I have a tendency to get scared too easily when I start something, especially a writing project, and often lack the stamina to continue, to finish. And other writing projects I’ve been working on forever, like my novel, and a memoir-ish book on how I accidentally discovered that a low-carb ketogenic diet, which we used for my husband’s cancer back in 2014, could help with my own mental health. I had abandoned this little virtual real estate I’ve parked here years ago and turned my sights to writing on Medium and Substack. It feels, quite honestly, weird to be back here. Also, they always seem to spread the positive aura to other people.It’s been a while since I’ve been on my own blog. For me personally, it’s a wish/prayer ♡Įach person has problems in life, and it amazes me how some people can still be so positive about life. The joy of finally concluding your thoughts and ideas is indescribable.Ī simple greeting like ‘good morning/afternoon’ means so so so much. However, what makes me extra happier is to be able to finish a piece of writing. Browsing at the bookstore for me is like finding a buried treasure. I could just spend hours there, looking at every title. Traveling does enrich my heart and soul, making you feel that you’re small but at the same time alive and emotionally refreshed. I loooove going to new places and experiencing new vibe. It somehow makes you feel loved and secure. The best thing after a tiring day at work: lying down on a clean, warm bedsheet. When I finally read that sort of book, which seems to understand me and my life, I’ll feel so enlightened and emotionally satisfied.Īttending a gig is my kind of escapism, my precious luxury. There are many good books out there, but the ones whick speak to your heart are rare. I enjoy having various topics to talk about, from fangirling stuffs to deep themes like life and the meaning of it. I consider myself an introverted person, but when I’ve found people with whom I feel comfortable, I basically will just pour my heart out. Without further ado, this the first post!Ī bad day will suddenly feel so much better after seeing those animals frolicking around or simply being a bundle of fluffy cuteness. I’ve found the challenge list via Google, and if it’s yours, do tell me so I can credit it. Thus, I want to challenge myself to write one blog post everyday. To be honest, I’ve been feeling dry and dull in creativity due to that lack of updates. One of my new year’s resolutions is actually to write more in my blog, but I’ve abandoned it for two months. The last time I published a blog post was four months ago.
