W1: The Week I decided to just do it
September 18, 2017If I'm asked to write down all the reasons of not immediately doing all the things listed on my bucket list, it'll take you ten scroll down with your mouse to see the bottom of the page.
I'm not exaggerating or anything, but there is absolutely a lot of factors keeping me from starting my own business, taking that solo trip, cleaning my room, finding my lost Government ID, etc.
Some of the items can be rescheduled in another month. (except cleaning my room, I definitely need to do that this weekend). There are also a few items which I need to try out as a way of getting out of my comfort zone.
One of these is blogging.
Blogging is not really a mandatory in a person's life, but as I kid, I religiously kept a diary. Writing was the only way I could let go of everything I felt. As an introvert, expressing my teenage angst to other human beings was hard. When I wrote in my diary, I was able to release all the negative and positive vibes I felt during that day. Bottled up emotions damage us in ways we can't see. It was also through writing that I developed a habit of advising myself during hard times.
My list of reasons not to start a blog
As I mentioned, it's going to take a lot of space to write down the list, but to sum it up... it's all about fear. Too much fear of imperfection and making mistakes made me uneasy about starting a blog. I'm afraid of not being consistent with Scribble and Wander's branding. It paralyzes me to think about my cluttered blog years from now.Just a week ago, I included an entry for my Weekly Calendar. On Mondays, I should write something. Anything to keep the creative juices flowing. Writing for Experience and Think takes a lot of time since I have to do research regarding a topic. Scribble and Wander is the only place where I can freely express myself. Sure, it's supposed to be a blog for travel, food, and musings, but hey! I'm starting to list one of the reasons why I shouldn't start! Enough with this, Kay!
So I decided to just do it!
Last week's review
Since my contract with a local design agency ended last August, I suddenly had tons of free time to FINALLY work on a few items on my bucket list. Managed to cross out some items last week. Not really proud of how those came out, but nonetheless just being able to cross them out felt awesome! Everything is a work in progress. I'm not going to wait for things to be perfect.- Launched my portfolio. http://www.kristalacida.com/
- Started a new contract with a design agency
- Finished two cool eBook designs that were 30+ pages each
It felt really good to be on my high moods filled with just the right amount of energy to accomplish things on my list.
What's up for this week
We are going to hustle hard this week, Kay! :)
