This is the second week where I start to write an article, I do research and then I stop halfway. I didn’t want to do like last week and not post. These personal posts are at the same time easier and harder to post. Easier because there is no research involved, harder because they are much more personal. But I’m starting to have the same symptoms I had last year before my burnout and I’m […]

On the journey – Part 4
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 […]
On the Journey, Six-month update
This post will mark my 26th week working on this blog. That means I’m halfway through my first year. Already. I’m back full time at work after a few months of time off for my burnout. Things are a bit better now I’ve been given different tasks. The reaction of my colleagues to my absence that I had been dreading didn’t happen. That just goes to show that the stories we tell ourselves, and the […]
Taking the time for ourselves
Mental health is important. I’ve found over the weeks I’ve worked on this blog a lot of very interesting topics and a lot of techniques that will help if we put in the time and effort it takes to do them. Our brain may come up with excuses; however, for not doing them. Why we don’t take the time… It excels at finding excuses that keep us safe in our rut. Trying new things is […]
On the journey – Part 2
I started this blog three months ago. It is already my 15th post. Taking stock occasionally is a good practice to get into. Have I succeeded? Not yet. Not my ultimate goal of making a living with writing at least. However, I am consistent and have been posting once a week for the last 15 weeks. That is a win for me. Another win is the fact that by researching these articles I’m understanding a […]
Anxiety about anxiety – Part 5
Why is anxiety so difficult to talk about? Or read about? While researching and writing the anxiety series of articles, I’ve had to wrestle with my own anxiety and self-doubt. Who am I to be writing about all of this? How could I add value to what was already out there? I’m writing about an important subject, one that touches me and touches many people I care about. That is how I got through the […]
What is anxiety? – Part 3: Treatments and Creativity
What are the treatments for anxiety? Since there are so many different types of disorders and anxiety can be more difficult to treat depending on the type, it is important to keep trying until you find something that works for you. There are many strategies that professionals can use to treat anxiety disorders. Knowing what they are can help you ask the right questions to your professional and get at the right treatment quicker. These […]
The Start of the Journey
I am anxious. I am doubtful of my capacities and my self-doubt is high. I am shy. I love creating and I want to make a living with writing and my other hobbies. Can I be successful despite my fear and self-doubts? This blog will be about the journey I undertake to see if I can answer this question and other topics that can help on the road to success. First things first, what to […]
