Do you spend much time thinking about death? What do you think happens after we die? Do you believe in an afterlife? What about angels or ancestors watching out for you? Have you ever considered what dealing with death as a non-religious person might be like? Are you not religious yourself and looking for where to turn during a difficult time?
Part of the process of navigating life after faith will involve practical and self-care matters you may have never consciously considered simply because you never had to. If you followed a religion for as long as you can remember, it likely fulfilled a lot of roles without you realizing.
When do you cross the line from believer to non-believer? At what point can you put a label on your new feelings and identity? How do you know if you are ready to let go of your faith for good?
Do you spring clean at your house? Do you enjoy the feeling of having a neat, decluttered living space? It is time to do the same for your writing. This post will share tips for how to spring clean your blog.
Do you set blogging goals for yourself, but find your motivation quickly fizzles out? Do you try to do too much at once and become intimidated? Maybe you need to step back and look at the big picture. Let’s talk about setting realistic blogging goals.
This will, of course, be a work in progress. Just as you cannot clean out your closet or declutter your kitchen once and be done with it, keeping your digital decluttering under control will involve active decisions each time new things find their way in.
Sometimes I follow bloggers who do not follow me back. Inversely, I often have fellow bloggers who engage with my blog or social media for whom I do not reciprocate. It is not a competition. No one is keeping score. Not everyone you follow will benefit from following you. And vice versa.
The truth is, this never going to be one of those clever, feel-good, let me help you solve this problem you didn’t even know you had blogs. But if just one reader finds something here they can relate to, then the time I spend writing is worth it.
