Happy birthday, Unchained Creative!
The most exciting email slid into my inbox. It's the one-month anniversary since I started this here little blog, Unchained Creative!I'm psyched.The consistent commitment, for one whole month, has reinvigorated my creativity at work, my morning person tendencies, and has alleviated a lot of the niggling anxiety I experience when I'm not writing and feel that I'm "wasting away my passion."Today marks 1/12 of a real annual birthday, and this post itself is the ninth for my first month blogging. Not too shabby!
Being the data-driven everyday marketer I am, I wanted to see how I've been faring with my creative endeavor.I'm averaging one post every 3.44 days.
This stat makes me proud. Beyond proud. I'm not only jotting musings about twice a week, I'm publishing these works and showing the world. My blog is filled with content that is unabashedly me, with a touch of stream of consciousness (albeit for grammatical and spelling errors). I can write about what I want, when I want, and follow the meandering folds of my memory or sensations to uncover more about myself and do what makes me happiest.My positivity isn't solely due to my personal commitment to my blog and my sharper and more compelling writing at work. Sure this perfect mid-70s temperature that is crisp yet sunny is making me squeeze out every last drop of summer lightheartedness, but it's more than that.I can sum it up with a book title."You are a Badass" by Jen Sincero. I'm currently reading it, 75% completed according to the good folks (and algorithm) of Goodreads. I told you I was data obsessed. It's more than just related to my job. It helps with accountable and frankly numbers can be fun. That's a phrase I never thought I'd utter/type/think.But back to You are a Badass. It's an uplifting nonfiction book, categorized as self-help but really I find it to simply be a book of tips on how to tap into positivity and energetic enthusiasm for your own life. There's a bit of, let's say "spirituality" discussed, but looking past that it's really chock full of supportive and empowering ideas.Cheers to your own pursuit of badassery. And to my blog's one month of life!
