As you may have notice, there's a bit of a change in my blog. Instead of posting every other day, I now post three times a week instead. I have been quiet unhappy with my blog lately and I know other bloggers also experience this feeling every now and then. A bit of a blogging rut as we call it. That feeling of unhappiness is however going on and on and it is dragging me down. I am not the sort of person to wallow on misery and I always try to look on the brighter side of things. When I started blogging, my main purpose of doing it is to release some creativity in me. I have never been a creative person and sadly growing up, I am boxed as an academic. I never excelled in anything with regards to being creative like music, arts, etc. Blogging has however gave me an opportunity to somehow express creativity. I tried my hardest to be creative in photos. As time goes by, I did learn a trick or two to improve my photography in which I am really happy about but I still need to improve.
My blog is a source of happiness for me and I want it to be a positive place thus why I don't post things if I will just say negative things about it. I'd rather not post it. That is a personal choice by the way. I treat my blog as my baby and being unhappy about it is disheartening. I did a thorough thought about it and I don't really want to give up something that I am passionate about. After endless deep thoughts, I came to a conclusion that probably why I am unhappy about it is I beat myself to post on my imposed schedules. I may had ended up churning posts just because I need to not because I want to. Saying that, I don't want to post very sporadically as it also feels that I am ignoring my passion. I decided to post three times a week. It is actually not much of a change from my previous posting schedule as by posting every other day previously, I post three and four times a week alternately. I just started the change last week and I feel happier about it. I can plan my contents properly and I have more time to create contents which I hope are better.
Talking about photos, I am more active in Instagram nowadays. Instagram and I have a wrong start but I am enjoying it more recently. I have really enjoyed taking photos and posting it in instagram. I now get the hype behind it. If you want to take a peek, I'm at instagram.com/everylittlething07 . I want to end this post by saying thank you for continuing to support my blog despite the wee change. Hopefully I can create better contents that you would enjoy reading whilst I enjoy doing the contents as well.
XoXo,

We all have moments when blogging doesn't give us as much joy as we want, it's a hard job at times to keep up with everything. Don't be disheartened, your blog is great and your photos always stunning! Maybe you need a little break to get your mojo and motivation back on track? x

DeleteWell done on noticing that you're losing momentum and doing something about it, so many bloggers seem to try and push through and therefore create fake and forced content. You know what's best for you and I hope that the change in upload helps you become inspired again!

DeleteI think you are completely, it's down to what suits you, but sometimes it's the right choice to have a little bit of space to yourself, and do it when you are comfortable :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Sophie! Xx
DeleteI know what you mean by feeling unhappy about your blog. For me, it's a feeling of dissatisfaction; I'm never satisfied with whatever I post! It gets very frustrating at times, so I've realized how great it is to change things up from time to time. I'm glad that you find blogging a wonderful, creative outlet for yourself! I wish you the very best and just know that your blog is beautiful no matter what ~ I can't wait to see what you have in store for your readers! Looking forward to it.
