I took some time off blogging. There were quite a few reasons I did this, mostly centered around the reason why I started blogging in the first place. My goal was to blog in order to get better at blogging. I think I achieved that. What I didn’t realize were all the hidden benefits that come from creating new content daily. From the beauty of creating something from thin air to the always questioning mindset to the random phrase, or thought, that I decide to turn into a blog post.
Another benefit of blogging is the power of creation. My hiatus from the blogosphere was supposed to give me time to focus on other projects. Books I wanted to write, websites I wanted to develop, sales funnels I was going to implement and a whole bunch of other ideas. Guess what! None of those were achieved. None were even really started.
Creation is very hard to cultivate when you’re not creating on a daily basis. For me, blogging was the little snowball that let my other plans grow into a bigger snowball. When I stopped a month and a half ago I thought it would make me more productive, not make me less productive.
So, I’m going to start blogging daily again. I can’t promise miracles, but I can promise posts everyday. And I have a new sense of direction this time around. There are a ton of ideas that have been waiting for my fingers to hit the keyboard and I’m opening the creative juices to unleash them here.
