Joining Substack has reinvigorated my brain and desire to write. I've had a personal blog on my own website for about 17 years (!) now (on which I write about whatever strikes me; no theme) and went from daily writing in the early days to maybe three times a year more recently. My Substack has a theme that I'm excited about. I'm definitely feeling recharged and I also agree with you that doing more reading and LIVING, away from screens, is so helpful!
Hi Melisa, thank you for your comment. I also had a blog many moons ago and really enjoyed writing there too. So glad you're feeling reinvigorated and getting back into writing - I love it when I'm in the flow and hoping more 'proper' reading and LIVING is going to kick-start my passion! xx
Ha ha, Lis, you’ve still got it - you kept me scrolling to the end of the article, and I don’t do that very much these days online as it makes my brain hurt… AND I have never given up my weekend supplement reading habit: yes, something tangible you can pick up at your leisure and flick through (not mindlessly scroll) the whole week long. I find I zone in on all sorts of enlightening articles I never would’ve bothered to click on online. So, yeah, that’s my recommendation. Feed your mind, not the algorithms… and enjoy that coffee while you’re at it. Lots of love, from that mini person in your echo chamber 😄
Hehe Thank you Mazza - that means a lot coming from you! I know you’ve always been good at your Sunday Supps and I’ve just got out of the habit! Thank you for your sage advice of feeding my mind and not the algorithm - that’s a quote to live by for me! And now I can only picture you as about the mini person in my echo chamber 😂
Cheering you on here and excited to see where the ✍️ 📖💫💖 goes, and you’re so right that finding the headspace and the time for the kind of reading that inspires and nourishes, and doesn’t just distract, is the best start - I think some of us can cope with having all those mental tabs open better than others and I’m with you, it’s a disciplined and discerned balancing act 😣🤪 .., and 🙌 here’s to the glossy days (and working on them 😉!!) and the tactile joy of a leisurely flick over cursory scroll!! 🛀🕯️Happy reading 📖 and writing 👩💻 and looking forward to you sharing the journey with us here!!! Here’s to all those new chapters!!!! 🌟 💖🥰🤗
