If you check my blog, you'll see that I didn’t write yesterday, and it wasn’t for any particular reason; it was intentional. The truth was I had a tiring day yesterday being the first day of the new year.
Happy New Year to everyone!!!
Last year was a great one and I bless God for that. Towards the last few months of last year, I have determined to make some changes to my routine and that I wouldn’t force myself over some things because no matter how I do it, I would still be affected somehow and to say that those things would still be there - I will always come back to meet them. So, this year, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a new change in that aspect.
It’s always a fresh start at the beginning of the year, and for whatever reason, I won’t regret it. Since last year, I have been committed to the work of God, and I have been assigned to some major roles in the Church. I wouldn’t want to slack off in them, but rather to give them my all. The truth is, I want to be faithful to God, and yes, I did last year as the Lord helped me, and I saw a great change in me.
Last year, I knew how I had to always squeeze out time to make a post; times I would have been tired, times I wouldn’t even know what to write and would just write something anyway, which I didn’t much enjoy the whole thing.
Yes, I have been writing consistently for four years, and I would tell you that there were some days when I had to stretch myself to make up something. I didn’t like how most of them turned out because it was as if I just came up with something just to keep the streak going. I wouldn’t lie to you, it wasn’t something I wanted to do but I did.
I don’t want to overstretch myself this year writing daily anymore. I want to take time to write. I don’t just want to write and post anything in a hurry. Also, I want to actually give some days in between to prepare myself mentally and physically so I could give the best.
Not writing every day wouldn’t take away anything from me because I would still be very much active. Days I won’t write, I will engage very well and there will be enough time for other things.
I have promised myself not to rush things anymore. I don’t want to be tired and then form a post out of nowhere. It doesn’t mean that there wouldn’t be days I would write daily for the week, that is if time permits me. When I have the time, I will and if I don’t, so be it.
I intentionally didn’t write anything yesterday and trust me, I didn’t feel it. This is because I had already made up my mind on it, and so it didn’t come as a surprise to me. If it were like before, I would have framed a post and then written something like trash to me despite the celebration yesterday and the tiredness it led to.
On this note, I would stop writing every day; in fact, Sundays are out of it from now on. I wouldn’t be writing any post on Sundays. I understand how Sundays are always for me, and it would be best for me to do it this way.
To stop writing consistently is now one of my year’s resolutions. There are times I would be writing at midnight now. But as the spirit leads me, I will flow with it. I won't be confined to posting daily or at a certain time as I used to before.
That will definitely be okay for me and also give room to do other things on my plate this year. I have the feeling that there would be more to do this year and I am fully ready with God helping and strengthening me.
