Hello read.cash! I'm writing again while feeling nervous and full of anxiety because I do not know where to begin from. I wrote my introductory article yesterday and made some amazing friends on this platform whom have made me feel at home irrespective of my imperfection.
I received a lot of advice from them and I think I'm beginning to get a hang of this platform and how it works. I did a lot of interaction and had a lot of fun while doing so, I learnt a lot of new things and since I'm still in the learning process I intend to take things easily and enjoy myself in the process. No rushing, just slow and steady. It's a new beginning for me and I believe I'm going to get better along each step.
At this point in my life I find myself trying new things, exploring the world, taking long walks, making new friends (virtual friends inclusive), and trying to see things from a different perspective. In fact I'm trying to develop a new saving plans for myself since I'm all about self improvement at the moment.
Anti-stress therapy
I've been going through a lot of stress lately especially mentally since I hardly sleep and lacking necessary rest because I'm trying to make ends meet at all cost. The process of trying to make ends meet can be really stressing and time consuming.
Right now all I need is a means to eliminate stress and coincidentally I came across @Jelena's post was a saving grace. She mentioned that her friend suggested a color book which helps you paint amd color while simultaneously helping you to suppress stress. I don't know how it works but I'm considering trying it out.
The book is as seen below;
According to her, colouring is a healing tool which helps us find a way to inner peace. Through I'm being skeptical but @Jelena had told me not to worry too much about the result but simply have fun while doing it. I guess I'd have to give it a try.
Attending a Catholic Church
I'm considering attending a Catholic Church anytime soon just to see things from another perspective- I attend the usual churches out there and have never been to a Catholic styled Sunday service. I didn't think about it until I came across @gertu13's article yesterday which raised my interest.
All I want is simply to see things differently these days and I'd never know just how interesting other things until I try them out. Maybe this new church may catch my interest and I may never want to leave; I'd search for a nearby Catholic Church and find time to attend. My experience will be shared as soon as I do so.
I've always heard the usual "holy Mary mother of Christ" recitation, hoping to learn this as well.
Creating memories with friends
I love making friends but I'm not the type to hangout or have fun on the outdoors, I'm more of an indoor person and spend most of my time on the Internet with both virtual friends and real life buddies but no pictures or videos or special memories of time spent together. My friendship has always been mostly on the Internet and I'm considering changing this lifestyle.
I'm trying to be more outgoing, I wanna have fun out there, I wanna run around and feel the wind, I wanna create memories with friends and take pictures as reminders.
I didn't realise how much fun I was Missing out on until I read @Lucifer01's article about his time with his friends about a few years back, they rode two bikes and simply followed the wind, took pictures amd discovered new things. It was a random adventure but a memory filled one which made him smile.
Right now I'm also in the mood for some adventure and I wouldn't allow anyone or anything hold me back.
$1 a day savings plan
$1 may not seem like a lot of money especially if you're living in a rich country but for my country it's actually a lot hence I'm considering copying @Ellehcim 's savings plan by saving $1 everyday for a year as from the 1st of January which means by December 31st 2022 I would have saved $364 which is a large about of money for me- about 204,400 (two hundred and four thousand, four hundred) Naira in my country's currency.
I was already considering this savings plan when I came across the article "spend or save" by @Amazing-grace which inspired me even more. Now I'm taking it really seriously after all I'm all about self improvement which includes my finance.
Opening my sponsors Block
Didn't realise there was any such thing as a sponsors block until @Officialrosh1 mentioned it in my introductory article and told me how to activate it.
Here it is below, this is the part where I watch to see the magic that's gonna happen as I'm still confused as to how it works. With time I'd understand everything about this sponsors block- I guess I just have have flow with the tide and observe wherever it takes me.
I mentioned being a fan of anime especially the naruto verse in my introductory article amd coincidentally @Jeansapphire39 mentioned being a fan of anime as well. Which means I'm not alone here and will definitely meet other people with similar interest in anime as well.
Joined just yesterday and I'm already having a lot of fun and meeting people that have the same interest as I do. I'm glad to be here and thankful for this amazing opportunity to have some fun.
Didn't realise I could write this much but it seems that I can write better than I initially thought. I'm not sure of anything, just writing according to my heart. Was nervous when I began writing but now I feel much more confident.
Special thanks to Mr. @Olasquare and @JustMyRambles01, @Bloghound amd many more for the encouragement.
I love you all โค.
Thanks for reading.
