Finding the will and
strength to blog.
It can be challenging
nowadays, especially when you’re not making money from it and have other things
going on in life. I have a like a million things I am doing, Blog, running a
charity foundation, family etc. I truly love blogging, it’s one of my favorite
hobbies but, sometimes I feel lazy or tired and don’t feel like creating
content. What keeps me going is my passion for it and the joy I get from
sharing my recipes with you all.
What about you? What
keeps you motivated, whether it’s blogging, work, or something else? Let me
know in the comments!

Thanks, Jennifer.
DeleteI totally get it. My advice would be to don't feel pressured to produce. Take breaks and when your feel the urge then do it. Readers are very understanding. Enjoy your summer!

DeleteNice. Have a good week
ReplyDeleteThanks. You too.
DeleteI feel this one in my bones, Annie! It gets really hard at times. I love my blog and truly want to see it grow and make more money, and also life happens and I get a little off the beaten path at times. I do have a genuine love for it though and like you said, that's truly what keeps you going and you just do the very best you can. :) I always love reading your blog and seeing the recipes you come up with!!

Absolutely! there’s so much that goes on behind the scenes, and it can definitely feel overwhelming at times! But yes, that shared passion really does make all the difference.
DeleteI totally understand how you feel. This is my situation with work and family. I wake up early to prepare my son for school and make lunch for my son and husband. Sometimes I just want to lay in bed all day and not do anything or go to work but the joy my son has when he sees me especially when he's eating keeps me going. And my husband always complimenting the lunch I make for him to take to work keeps my happy. So I guess I keep on going for my family. Love your recipes and enjoy making them for my family. Please keep it up. 😍😘
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this, it really touched me. I completely relate to those days when it’s hard to keep going, but it’s amazing how those little moments of joy from our loved ones give us strength. Your family is lucky to have you, and it sounds like you pour so much love into what you do for them. I’m so glad my recipes can be a small part of that! Thank you for your kind words, they truly mean a lot. 🥰💛
DeleteI can completely related! It's hard to juggle all the things! I keep blogging because it's a creative outlet for me and helps me destress. Love your blog and recipes!

It really is a lot to juggle, and having a creative outlet like blogging makes such a difference. I'm so glad it brings you joy! Thank you so much for the kind words, it means a lot.
DeleteI totally relate, blogging now is not how it used to be when we started. I took a break for two years. However, I came back because there's this solitude I get in blogging. It is like a way of distressing. My advice is pick days for blogging, don't juggle everything at once, otherwise you'd feel burnt out. Hoping to see more great recipes from you.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this, it really resonated with me. Blogging has definitely changed, and I completely understand the need for a break. I love how you described the solitude it brings; I feel that too. Your advice is so wise, setting boundaries and not trying to do it all at once is something I’m learning to embrace. I’m so glad you’re back to blogging, and I really appreciate your support. More recipes coming soon! 💛
DeleteHello, Annie. First, thanks for visiting me at Marmelade Gypsy -- your visit brought me here. I've never had that thought about blogging but I think I can understand where you're coming from. It was a lot more challenging to blog when I worked. But there may be other reasons for that too. I do not post daily and have trouble keeping up with those who do. I usually end up with two to three posts a week depending on what I want to write about. Also, my blog is a little of everything -- travel, family, art, home life (cooking, decor, etc), books, real life. I never run out of content. Most of all, I've loved the friendships that have been built through blogging, many of whom I've met in person. They are genuine and that is the best. That may keep me most motivated -- wondering what's up with them, sharing what's up with me. I'm just discovering you, so I hope to stick around!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog, Annie. You have some beautiful food photos here! I use to blog about food, but these days it's more about books, jigsaws puzzles, and photos I've shared on Instagram. (along with the occasional music post). I eat a plant based diet now (for the past 10 years), so I'll have to see if anything here fits that bill.
ReplyDeleteI understand what you mean. i am not a blogger but i love visiting your blog cos you have easy recipe. It is normal to feel overwhelmed sometime but it's the little things that keeps me going. I love your recipes please keep it going. One day at a time. :)
ReplyDeleteI blog from habit, it's the motivator for me. For years I did 3 times a week and just recently dropped to two times a week because I am so busy. It's working for now.
