What made me lay low from blogging?

I honestly don't know where to start this conversation. I hope posting this would make me more motivated in the future by posting more contents on the platform.

With the question above, well, I have a lot of reasons why and please feel free to comment down below, express your opinion/s, or enlighten me about it.

Let me start here.. Hive Value, when most of the cryptocurrencies went down (maybe due to economic issues because of the war between Ukraine versus Russia correct me if I'm wrong)... Hive Value also went down and from there, I was having a second thought if I should put more effort and if it was still worth staying and keep posting knowing that I'm unsure how many hives I would earn after hours of thinking, writing, and editing photos just to share content to you all.

Procrastinating is one of my enemies. A lot of events have passed yet I haven't posted a single one of them until now. That mindset of mine keeps on saying “doing it later” is certainly not good. I know a lot of us can relate.

Tardiness, yes! Thinking about what and how to write things here and editing photos can be exhausting and mind-draining. I try to fight it but it beats me all the time.

Distractions, work-related issues (workmates that became my friends leaving due to serious accusations and incident reports given to them except me) and relationship issue made me demotivated on what to do on a daily basis to the point that I no longer want to work or do anything at all. It really affected me emotionally. I know I could have used the platform to share things however, as much as possible, I wouldn't like to tell everything to the world that I have problems... this and that. So, I kept it to myself.

The lack of motivation, push, or inspiration, just a disclaimer, this is NOT @explorewithsasha fault. The reason why I joined the platform is to earn so, I can buy a durable laptop that I want for school and work purposes (God willing if I can still do professional education or find a work-from-home setup work). My first earned from this platform was 7k pesos after posting 10-15 posts... not too bad but this means I need to post a lot to earn more and buy the laptop I needed which made me a bit discouraged due to the hive value lately. Also, I lack of knowledge on how to maximize the platform to earn more.

Lastly, health issues, I was diagnosed of having cervical radiculopathy and epicondylitis (this relates to my neck nerve and right arm). One of the reasons why procrastination and tardiness have been with me lately is because I have a right arm issue, when it is folded for too long (e.g. Holding my phone, typing both computer and phone, operating mouse) then it gives me internal pain or discomfort which affects my work (yes!) and also my posting here because I only used phone with small screen typing my post and editing my photos which is quite inconvenient).

Despite all these, this platform is still in my mind. And I'm hoping to post more maybe at least once a week to give you an update about my out and abouts.

Thank you, guys! I'm hoping to get more engagements with you all. 💗

Cheers,
Mary 🌷
