I have returned

in blog •  6 years ago 

Hello folks! 

Hopefully some of you are still following me during my absence :) My last Steemit post was in May and, since then, I've gone completely dark on this platform. 

I wondered today why that is, why do I get so ingrained in something and then leave it for a period of time, only to come back to it later? Is it a lack of commitment? Interest? Am I building an overwhelming sense of planning and tasks associated with building out my Steemit blog that is making me overwhelmed? Has dealing with childhood trauma in psychotherapy recently been a little too intense for me to work on other things? Have I been under too much stress? (The answer to that last question, is certainly a "yes.")

I don't know the exact reason why, but today I gained at least a little bit of insight into this issue. It's related to a post I made two months ago entitled Does a Weekly Routine help keep you grounded? and I'm exciting to share this story with you on Monday, ushering in my return :)

By the way, has anyone tried an app for auto-posting in Steemit? What I'd like to do is take several of the blog posts I've already written and have them publish automatically every day at a certain time. Just curious if there are any good recommendations on this. Thanks!

See you Monday :)

Yup. SteemAuto ( https://steemauto.com ) is the "sister site" of SteemFollower, and has scheduled posting, auto-claim of rewards, and numerous other goodies, and is totally free...

Have you try out the @eSteemapp for posting too, do you know that you can schedule posts to be posted differently on different days.

Thanks!

Hi Steve

I feel you man. Lots of heavy ptsd biohacking going on over here too. It's not for the faint of heart, is it? Oh well, it beats the alternative; a mass of nervous twitches and traumas unable to experience this beautiful gift of life fully.

why do I get so ingrained in something and then leave it for a period of time, only to come back to it later?

It does seem like there is a certain ebb and flow to things. Resistance is futile.

Just letting go, one gets there. And less beat up, too.

For me, doing the heavy lifting kind of trauma work some of us do, well it requires a tremendous amount of rest. Like when I was a kid and mom tucked me in bed and brought me soup, insisted that I just rest. Good times.

Am I building an overwhelming sense of planning and tasks associated with building out my Steemit blog that is making me overwhelmed?

Funny you mention it, I seem to think I do that too with any number of things.

In other news, sad to hear about Ceretropic closing up. They were certainly a pleasure to deal with.

Good words all around! Didn't know about Ceretropic closing, they offered a variety that many other vendors did not.

I tried steem auto but it didn't post my post! Dude I need routine so bad. I despise it yet desperately need it/ maybe sorta want it but am horrible at self imposing it.

Keeping a content-creating schedule is tough. Especially when making content for multiple platforms. I primarily blog and make YouTube/DTube videos. The creative aspect of it is the fun part, but the video editing and then all the SEO work that goes along with it... what a chore!

haha true. It's kinda full time, right?

Yeah I agree ha :D
