Finding Relaxation and Joy in Writing on Medium
Written on
Chapter 1: A Refreshing Day
What a delightful surprise today has turned out to be! With a gentle breeze outside, the atmosphere feels invigorating, while indoors remains cozy and peaceful. Starting the day with a warm cup of coffee set a lovely tone, especially as I engaged with the thoughtful comments from my friends and followers who reached out overnight. Does Medium ever take a break? I found myself wishing for a few more hours in the day as I headed to bed at midnight.
Some days, the activity on Medium can feel a bit overwhelming—an inside joke for my regular readers. However, today has been notably more serene.
Section 1.1: Establishing a Routine
I’ve cultivated a daily routine that keeps me centered and productive. The familiarity with my environment on the platform brings me joy, especially when I stumble upon something new each day. I've also started to unearth insights about myself, often thinking, “This could be an article topic.” My list of ideas is ever-growing, whether or not I choose to write them all.
Looking at the world with fresh perspectives has been enlightening, as I shared in my recent article about how writing on Medium has made me more aware of my surroundings.
The first video showcases how to connect with your inner psychic and understand what your inner voice truly signifies, offering great insights into self-discovery.
Section 1.2: Finding Inspiration
It doesn’t have to be complicated to find engaging content for an audience. While relaxing in my recliner with my cat today, I managed to write four articles—yes, four! Some may argue that being this prolific can lead to burnout, but I know that not every day will be this productive; even if I write just one article, life goes on.
I opted to self-publish one piece that didn’t fit neatly anywhere else, while I entrusted the other two to my talented publishers, Erica L. Soerensen and Emy Knazovic. It felt fantastic to share that!
Chapter 2: Engaging with the Community
In the second video, Psychic Medium MaryAnn DiMarco discusses how to tap into your intuition, which can provide valuable guidance as you navigate your writing journey.
Amidst writing, I've also enjoyed reading articles from those I subscribe to. It’s a pleasure to engage with voices that resonate with me, often saving their delightful pieces for the evening when I need to unwind. I strive to discover at least one new writer daily, always looking for insightful contributions.
I've even managed to tackle some chores like laundry and dishwashing, taking breaks for meals along the way. This brings me to a timeless point worth noting:
