How to write the perfect blog!?!

I was thinking about all the different ways to write a blog and all the tips I have read from post and articles in the past. Then it dawned on me their is one tip, advice, rule, etc that fits us all… Just write it.

PERFECT is NOT always BETTER. Sometimes trying to be perfect is what stops our creativity and puts us on the path of procrastination.

I been trying to figure out if I should do a poetry Monday, a Dream Journal Tuesday…etc, and I decided my brain doesn’t work like that so why should my blog follow those rules???

So here is my unprofessional, sporadic, messy, unpopular blog! It is just my private thoughts being put out into the universe to be forgotten, judged, read, or whatever fits the needs of my followers and non followers.

Have you started your blog yet? Or are you letting the idea it should be perfect and well thought out keep you from making your first entry? Everyone starts on the path differently, but the important part is to just start.

My tip to writing a perfect blog is to just start. Perfect is in the eye of the beholder, but starting is the Perfect way to start!

Where do you work?

What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.

Writing prompt was what question do you hate to be asked… mine is Where do you work or the runner up is do you get a crazy check?

It isn’t about my job but where my office is located. As soon as they hear I work from home they instantly want me to get them a job with my company.

Recommending someone for a job is extremely personal I feel. This puts your reputation on the line. I have only done this once but they didn’t ask me, I told them to. Worked out best for them, they got my old job and I didn’t have to train someone who hated to be there.

People who want nothing to do with you on the norm will contact you and want you to get them hired. Why would I recommend my company to hire you if you don’t want anything to do with me normally.

I am nice and just tell them to go to my company’s website and search to see if anything will work.

After two months of trying to lose weight at home on my own and ending up just gaining weight since the first of the year, I knew it was time to do something different. I joined the gym at my local hospital. It is $20 a month and is open 24/7. I went on Sunday and it was a huge eye opener of how out of shape I have let myself become!! I miss the days when I could do more and no feel like the overweight woman I am. So I will be slowly starting to work out again and I will start keeping track of my progress. Here is to being able to walk/jog/or run a mile and lift 50 pounds again without struggling!

Type of WorkoutDateAmount/TimeDistance
Treadmill3/5/202310 minutes.51
Chest Butterfly3/5/20233 reps of 1015lbs

If you are just starting out for the first time or if you stopped working out and working out again, just remember it is ok to start small. The most important thing is for you to start! Track where you started so you can see how far you have come.

Here is to my journey to find what works best for me and to better me!
