I’ve hit somewhat of a roadblock and I’m not sure where to go from here. I started this journey 36 weeks ago. I’ve had some rough weeks and some easier weeks depending on the subjects and have kept my focus mostly on content. I did try to get some affiliate links that could be useful, but with not much luck there. With a full-time job and other interests, it becomes harder to focus enough time and energy on the research and writing needed for the blog. I’m not planning on stopping yet; however. There are still topics of interest to cover, but as with the procrastination and perfectionism topics, a lot of the topics I want to cover take some time to research. I may focus a bit more on the creative side of the equation and cover topics like the psychology of colours, why we respond so differently to different types of art and so on. (Leave a comment below if there is a creative topic you would like me to cover in a later article).
These on-the-journey articles are good breaks for me because they don’t require much if any research and are more personal. More of a journal of how I’m doing. I have no idea if they are interesting to anyone but my family and friends but I’m hoping having a personal viewpoint on all this and how I’m doing given my mental health issues, and my anxiety, and definitely perfectionism (now that I’ve done that research…) can help others with the same issues.
For one, it is okay to talk about this. There is still so much stigma and misunderstandings about the topics I cover that I’m not surprised that my subscription levels are lower. I keep forgetting that not everyone is as open about talking about it that I am. I think my curiosity saves me there. I just want to understand, and I feel that with this understanding I can better handle what my life has to offer. Which is why I think it is sad that for certain people having any of these issues I talk about is tantamount to being labelled crazy. I don’t believe that is the case; however. Even if we require professional help, how is that any different than going to the doctor when you are sick? Sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesn’t, but eliminating what it isn’t is more knowledge than you had before.
I’ve been struggling my whole life with chronic pain. I do a round of medical tests every ten years or so (medical fields do evolve…) but my tests usually end up showing everything as “normal”, and being told it’s in my head… but I was never given the information that “in my head” might mean that the pain I feel is psychosomatic (caused or aggravated by my own mind) and l know understand that I should have been focusing instead on mental health and physical health at the same time. There has been evolution in the understanding of this issue as well and why though stress can be good, chronic stress is so bad….
The mind is a complex organ and though research on it keeps accumulating we are a long way from understanding 100% of the impact and interaction between the mind and the body. Yes, there can be uncomfortable feelings when confronting our weaknesses and our mental health, lots of emotions and thoughts and behaviours can be helpful or harmful depending on context and a lot of other factors so I’m going to end this little update with a little self-encouragement. I am not the same person I was 36 weeks ago. I will keep growing. I will keep learning and even if I never make of this blog what I planned to do at the beginning (make a living doing this) I will at least keep going for a bit longer and see what else I learn and how I feel.
As always, thank you for reading!
