Dear Self, STOP Grinding For Once! Grinding, grinding, and more grinding. When will it stop? How long will I grind hard? Why do I even grind this much? These are just a few questions that I would usually ask myself whenever I just wanted to chill out and do nothing but fun. However, whenever I think about me time, a real me time, where I don't have to think about earning money, I feel like I miss a whole bunch of opportunities already.
This is why no matter how much I wanted to just relax and enjoy a movie marathon, I'd still end up grinding one or more while doing the other. You might not believe me when I tell you that when I do something else like writing an article or watching a movie, I'm also playing Axie at the same time while also chatting on either Telegram or Discord. Now you know why I prefer watching English movies or TV series because other languages prevent me from doing several things in one setup. I don't know why I grind so much. Is it because of money? Maybe. Or perhaps because I am inspired to do the same as what my Club1BCH fam are doing. They grind like there's no tomorrow. Remember the recent hype on airdrops? We were like chasing millions back then. Well, we were, indeed, chasing millions or even trillions of tokens at that time. Too bad, I only had almost 2M from Kitten while my friends have trillions and even gazillions. Lol. I guess I just like grinding more because of them. They inspire me to work hard and give my all every single day. Although there are times that I could not publish anything, I still make sure to grind more on other things like making noise at least every 3 hours, playing Axie Infinity while trying my best to win in the arena, checking the market for the best buy or sell, and just recently, finishing our website. How long will I have to grind? That I don't know. I think I will keep grinding just to make me feel productive every day. But, if one day, BCH will reach the same level as ETH or who knows, BTC, then I will just grind for fun and not for the money. But for now, I'll just focus on grinding to improve my portfolio. Nonetheless, if I could just tell myself one thing, that's to chill a bit and stop grinding for once. To just think about myself and nothing else. To relax without getting distracted by other things. To enjoy the moment without thinking about earning money or the possibility of missing out on some opportunities. For once, self, have a real me time!
*Closing thoughts* I wish, one day, I could do something else and not just doing the same routine over and over again. I'm not stressed by the way. I've been just having a hard time getting proper sleep recently. I already forgot what nap is. Oh, well, at least my grinding also inspires others to do their best too.

Same dilemma, you know sometimes I am so tired but just thinking to stop grinding for a day feels like I'll lose a lot of opportunities π
Kaya nga e. Ganun talaga. Saka na lang talaga tayo mag stop pag wala na.
HAHAHAHA pag wala nang e grind? π
Pag wala ng ma igrind. LOL
Sis, please read Jane's recently posted article about self-love ..I've been one of your follower since the day I get to know you and I am amazed actually on how dedicated you are with your grinding. But then at the end of the day, you should still think of your own health :)..So please try to have enough sleep. .
Yes, sis. Mag effort na lagi kog rest. In fact, tonight, I will sleep early kay vaccination naku ugma. HEHE. Second dose. Thanks for your concern, sis.
Take a break for a day, sis. Just to give time for yourself and feel relaxed too. You deserve it. I believe you can still keep up with what you're about to lose when you rest for a day. βΊοΈ
Oo, sis. That's the plan after grinding in Axie. Need din sa axie mag grind e. Daily obligation but will rest after this.
This mindset though but don't forget to chill out yourself sisπ
Yes, sis. I will. Salamat.
Isang akap sayo sa pagiging hard workingππ€
Don't abuse yourself friend. Set a time to relaxed. It's so hard at first but sooner or later you can cope with it.
I can relate to that question sometime hehehe.
Take a break pud panagsa sis. Dili maayu ng sobraan ra kakugi.π
Hi! Your articles were already missed ahah. It seems to me that the last time I read you was a world ago. A hug my dear friend.
If ilang days na akong fi nakakapublish nagaalala na ako i font know why...parang nakasanayan kona nasa routine kona talaga tong si read at noise parang kulang yung araw ko kapag di ko nabunsan iting dalawang site na tohhπ€£
Same thoughts, Ateeee. Minsan naitatanong ko din sa sarili ko kung kailan ba 'to matatapos. Kasi malapit nang mapudpod keyboard ko kaka-grind sa side hustles ko saka sa acad life. Haha, charrr! Pero seryoso, kailan kaya hanooo? For sure, kapag successful na tayo or medjo nakaka-ginhawa na.. 'Yun bang pwede tayong humilata lang maghapon, gawin 'yung mga gusto natin na 'di nagwo-worry kung may ii-spend ba tayo kinabukasan for our needs. Nakaka-pagod din pero it'll all be paid of. SOON! ππ
Sobrang sipag mo talaga ate Mj. Sana ganyan din ako ka productive everyday kasi hindi eh hihi. Sleep din ng mabuti pag may time ate , wag ubusin masyado yung lakas mo.
Oo. Mamaya matutulog ako ng maaga. Mag pa AC ng masarap ang tulog. At bukas no to read, discord, telegram, website. Just movie, axie (for daily quota), and noise. Hehe
You need to give yourself a day off so you can relax and do something entirely different. You can decide to use an entire day to watch movies or play games (not axieBCH), just do something different from your usual routine. You might think you're not stressed right now, but you not getting proper sleep is already enough stress, but you might not have noticed it. Just take a day off to focus on yourself dear Mj, you can return to grinding the next day π
I will. Tomorrow. Though I need to still play axie for our daily quota, after that I'll just enjoy a movie marathon with the family. No. Writing tomorrow. Noise is fine though. And definitely no discord and telegram or doing the website. π π Thanks for the advice.
You're welcome ma'am π€
I always wondered how you do this much, like if you remember the other day I even commented in one of the posts admiring you for trying all possible aspects of eearning while I struggle to juggle between Read/Noise alone π€£π€£.. you need to self care one day.... eat lot of good food, rest, take naps, go to shopping or something...
Shopping? I do online shopping tho but going to an actual store is quite not a good idea coz we live away from the civilization. Lol.
live away from people??? omg goals....π€£π€£
Waiting for #Club1bch launching.. When will you launch this website?
No idea yet. I need to at least finish it before showing it to a friend's connection who's going to help us with a domain.
Sana all ate masipag hehe. Ambisyoso kasi ao tapos inuna ko pa manood ng tik tok tapos magchat sa discord hehe. Sana all ate hindi busy hehe at sana talaga, wala na kaming pasok pero need eh hehe.
Sana all. Ako mamaya matutulog talaga ako ng maaga. Ayoko muna mag isip. Haha
Same with me on read.cash. whenever I watch a video I still on the edge to read comment and upvote. I feel I neglect the platform. In reality I don't I just want that few hours spent with something else. Regarding airdrops. I did not get any of the recent airdrops. I am more for the exclusive ones like UniSwap was with it's 400 Uni tokens. Btw something wrong with discord I can't join. I will look into it again.
Discord is quite complicated. If it wasn't because of AxieBCH, I wouldn't even dare to open my account. And I think I need a real day off away from all of these busyness.
I believe you.
Itβs human nature dear. How can you make it stop?
You can if you choose to.
Maybe after this pandemic you can explore other things that can change your routine on daily :).
I hope so. πππ
Same here and thank you.
Madame your unbelievable, doing those things at a time?wow.. I can't do it. I don't know,but everytime I watched a movie or even just an entertainment tv shows, I loses my fucos in writing. ππ
Now we have the time and power to do so, why not do it? I think it is better to work hard now and relax later than relaxing now and working when my bones aren't strong enough to carry me again. That's the reason why I grind always but I don't hesitate to rest and have fun when I have the chance to do so.
Find time to relax a little bit sometimes MJ.π
You are indeed a multi-tasker MJ. I salute you to have that skill. I can't do it at the same time because I tend to ignore the other things and only focus on one hehe...But I believe you also need to have time for yourself so that you can have fun at the same time. Life is too short. As they say, work hard but play the hardest. But if you did enjoy grinding and you are happy with what you are doing, I believe that you can just grind to your heart's content but put a limit to it so that your body can rest as well.
relax din sis. health is wealth parin :)
This grinding would never going to stop. Because, this is life. Everyday we grind and set out goals and achieve them all 365 days are same. Same faces , activities and grinding. This is life we can't escape from reality. But i suggest you to stay positive. You are doing amazing after surfing your profile. Well done.
You need to set aside time for yourself, after you have completed your tasks. I work hard as well, but I also make a conscious effort to not "work" for money but for passion or leisure. The world doesn't end if some work gets postponed. I am also trying my best to get to bed early. Health is important and no one cares if we are ill. Our clients will easily replace us. Take care, MJ.
Relax din madam, cguro kapag nagbrownout at lahat ng gadgets mo na ginagamit is lowbat, magagawa mo yun hehe
Grinding is fine, but once in a while, you need time to relax. Recharge batteries and go back with more energy to the grinding, lol
It has become your routine. Grinding is your work and rest. Your medicine and your cure. This is a nice problem you have here. Oh it is not a problem even. Just keep doing what you love and everything will be fine.
I really wish to stop grinding for once as well but a single girl who lives alone and pay bills all alone can never think of stopping grinding but I can slow down a bit anyways
I do stop grinding po when I feel pressured on myself na. When I realized that I'm putting all myself to this Cryptocurrency thingy. After that I just focus on myself and to the real world surrounds me. I enjoy little things with them and smile at the same time. We all deserve a break po
This is the first time I read your article ma'am, then I feel motivated to be a writer too even I m not good enough in English hehe. Btw take care always give yourself enough time to rest to be more productive (:
