Welcome and thank you for joining me on my Journey of self discovery through my very first Blog; SilentMe 🌱
BlogPost #001: First Time Blogging? Met too! 🤓
In finally plucking up the courage to start my own blog, I did what most of us would do in the 21st century… I googled “how to start a blog”... word of advice, don’t do it, it was overwhelming and made me doubt myself more than I was hoping to be reassured that this was the right thing to do. 🤦‍♀️
There was a lot of practical advice on the actual steps required to start hosting a blog online… but I guess the real question I was hoping to get an answer for, that I knew Google could not have provided was… “Am I good enough to start a blog?” or something else along the lines of “Is what I have to say of any value to any potential readers?”, of course I know that these are the barriers that I’ll have to face each and every time I go to hit that ‘publish’ button.
So I put myself to the challenge, this has been something that I've wanted to do for a while… it’s something that brings up a lot of deeply embedded feelings of inadequacies and feelings of not 'enough-ness', so why not go with it and see what happens, the worst case scenario is that I write every so often and nobody ever reads it… come to think of it, maybe the worst case scenario is that somebody actually does read it, and not only hates it, but goes out of their way to express that blog hatred to me personally…. Oh no... FYI I just paused for a moment there, I nearly just talked myself out of writing this! Lol Well anyways, as you can see I didn’t, I decided that whatever comes of this will be better than a future one day thought of… “I really should have started that Blog”... Vulnerability is tough… but regret.. That’s a real bummer!
You may be reading up to this point thinking… “So what is your content? What am I as a reader going to get out of this blog?” Besides the good old pushing through of self doubt and limiting beliefs, this was almost my second choking point in taking the first step in starting this blog… my thoughts exactly were... “Dammit I need to have a niche, what am I even writing about?”... so the decision was made to fly through this with no particular niche at all… I decided that this Blog isn’t for anyone to simply just pop in to ‘get a quick 10 steps to lose weight’...I hope by this point I haven’t already lost you lol please bear with me just a little longer!
Here is my small disclaimer before you decide whether or not following this blog and joining me on this journey is for you… you may have nothing to ‘take away from this blog’ per say, but rather it’s a vulnerable invitation from me to you to join me on my weird personal journey of discovering the depths of who I am through various personal growth books/ tools & techniques/ coaching/ spiritual exploration etc. also unpacking the personality characteristics that studies have told me that I am (Introvert, INFJ, Aquarius, Otter Spirit Animal, Numerology Number 11, etc.) and how true they really are and examples of how they may have manifested into my life. Really… I’m just on a journey towards fully and freely accepting and expressing my oddities, quirks and just trying to get to that ‘I accept myself fully' sweet spot.
So the gift that I hope to give you as my reader, is to hopefully find yourself stopping to contemplate these same questions that I ask myself, to brave the not so easy to brave things, to be okay with inquiring within and knowing that you’re not alone… that life is complex and that there is no real cookie cutter way to live other than to fully embrace every part of you in your own unique journey… the beautiful and the not so beautiful (yes I will eventually deep dive into the depths of my shadow self)… I hope reading this blog sparks a journey of your own, helps you unravel the beautiful unique person that is you… I’m still looking for mine and if you don't believe me that you have a beauty within you… join me on my random journey and who knows, you’ll hopefully meet your own beauty along the way =)
Thank you for your time and I hope to eventually build a community where I can get to read parts of your brave journey too. I’ll leave you with some of my own CheckIn’s that maybe you can ask yourself too:
SilentMe Check Ins:
🙏SilentGratitude - I am grateful to my loving and supporting Darling Alex in helping me set up my Page, you have always believed in me and I am forever grateful that in your love and presence I have finally had the courage to look within and start to accept everything about me that I used to heavily judge about myself (even though this first post is indeed being published 12 months after the initial setup)
😔SilentDoubter - No one will get any use from this, I am wasting my time.
❣SilentVulnerability - I really do wish that this Blog has a far reach, I hope this platform to be the medium in which I can help others through their own journey towards self acceptance and love.
🌈SilentTrust - If I give it my all and do my best, there will be at least 1 person out there that's life is impacted in a positive way.
Until next time, stay grounded in your silence! xox

Round 2 - Slowly stepping out of the shadows of my insecurities... my Blog Posts are finally coming!

Watch this space! xox
