The reason I became able to write on note every day happily without being swayed by the number of followers or likes
This note is an article written for those who feel their motivation to write dropping because they are concerned about likes and view counts, focusing on the mindset needed to continue posting without being swayed by numbers.
Recently, I have been able to write on note every day naturally and without strain.
Previously, when I decided to write for 100 consecutive days, I would have days where I pushed myself, thinking:
'I have to write every day!'
'What should I write today?'
'I have to hurry before the date changes!'
But now, I don't need to psych myself up like that; I am able to continue posting as naturally as breathing.
After taking a short break from note last autumn for Kindle publishing, I am now approaching 100 consecutive days of updates again since my return.
However, the feeling is clearly different from when I was writing for 100 days previously.
Now, I no longer worry about the number of 'XX days' of consecutive updates.
Or, feeling discouraged about writing because I have few likes, my follower count isn't growing, or my paid articles aren't selling...
I am truly able to continue posting naturally, without strain or stress.
Why is that?
Today, I have delved deeper into the concept of 'continuing'.
・I want to keep posting but lack the motivation
・My motivation doesn't last
・I feel down when I don't get the reaction I expected even after putting in the effort to write
I believe this content will be helpful for those who feel this way.
The reason I became able to engage in sustainable activities
The reason I am able to write on note every day naturally and without strain now is, quite simply,
because I am living by doing what I truly find fun and not doing what I don't want to do, that is all.
You might think that is just a platitude. I also used to think, 'It's impossible to live like that!' But now, I am actually living in that timeline. It is the truth. I can state with certainty that I became able to engage in sustainable creative activities like this because,
I faced myself thoroughly, regained my connection with my true essence, and became able to live in harmony with that self. Currently, it is also a great joy to provide what I truly love as a service in the form of paid notes and Kindle publishing, and to receive compensation in the form of money.
However, the 'purpose' is not money.
To connect with your true essence and live as the person that essence desires.
To live in every single moment of the present with joy.
I believe that is the purpose of living and the success of life.
Right now, I have the feeling that I am doing my life's work (or is it soul work?) to live as that true essence of myself.
That is why my heart is so fulfilled and I am overflowing with energy.
When you become able to pour your energy into things that you truly enjoy and are passionate about, love and joy will overflow from within you infinitely.
Like an inexhaustible spring, love and joy will spontaneously overflow from within.
Therefore, no matter what kind of reaction you receive from the outside, your motivation will not be dampened by it.
It is precisely because I have this feeling of infinite love energy welling up that I can use that overflowing energy for creative activities.
Even without receiving 'validation' from anyone, I can continue in a good mood, enjoying myself and feeling excited.
I believe that the secret to 'continuing' and 'sustainable activity' is to constantly face and discover what truly brings you joy and what you really want to do.
The most important thing for continuing
We have been instilled with many common senses and fixed ideas since we were young.
Rather than what excites you, what is said to be socially correct
Rather than what you like, what is recognized by those around you
Rather than the work you really want to do, work that allows you to earn money and live...
We have been raised to live as people recognized by society and others, rather than according to our own original desires.
That is precisely why it is not easy to find what truly brings you joy, what you really think is fun, and what you want to do.
In my experience, things that you just 'kind of like' or are 'pretty good at' are almost always wrong (lol).
I, too, have spent the last ten years facing myself and repeating a lot of trial and error.
There are things I tried and thought, 'That wasn't it!', and others that I enjoyed for a while but then let go of once I felt satisfied.
You never know until you try, right?
And, you are the person you understand the least.
That is why, when negative reactions emerge, it can be said to be a wonderful opportunity to know yourself.
・No motivation
・Motivation doesn't last
・Feeling down because you didn't get the reaction you expected...
At times like that, it is a sign that 'You are drifting away from your essence!'
That is what it means.
'Do what makes your soul happy.'
'Be honest with your heart and follow your inspiration.'
'What is your purpose in life?'
'What is your true desire?'
Perhaps you are being asked from within yourself.
Please, do not look away from that.
More important than continuing to post every day is to keep facing your inner voice every day, or even in every single moment.
You should try using your posts as a place to output the various emotions and thoughts that emerge from that process.
Without that, you cannot find true joy.
Because the answer is only within you.
Negative emotions are like a compass that tells you when you are moving away from your true desires or your essence.
“The direction you are heading is a little off!”
They are a grateful presence that tells you this.
Conversely, easy-to-understand signs that you are connected to your essence are:
・Feeling very good
・Feeling excited
・Being in a good mood
・Energy welling up on its own
・Your body moving on its own
・Being able to get absorbed in something...
These are times when you feel positive sensations.
No matter what events are happening on the outside, there is a sense that your inner self is very peaceful and filled with love, joy, and gratitude.
The pitfall of easy-to-understand “rewards”
The town of note is
a place where you give and receive “likes”
a place where you support and are supported through “tips”
a place where you provide and receive value through “paid articles”...
It is a wonderful environment where we can exchange the energy of love in visible forms.
However, you must be careful, as it is easy to get too caught up in these visible “evaluations” and “rewards,” causing “receiving evaluation or rewards from someone” to replace your original purpose.
Please enjoy creating for your own sake.
Please focus on pleasing yourself.
Please stay firmly connected to your essence.
Only from there can you engage in sustainable activities that are truly helpful to others.
If you try hard to do things for others while disconnected from your essence, you will only exhaust yourself.
Because you are giving to “others” while your inner energy is not filled, you end up feeling depressed or dissatisfied when you don't get the reaction you expected.
As stated in the mission of this company, note,
“Empowering everyone to start and continue creating”
That you can create in a good mood and have fun.
That is the most important thing.
Once you can focus on that, your body will move on its own without needing to psych yourself up to "keep going!" You will naturally become absorbed in it.
So, if you are currently trying hard and psyching yourself up...
Please take another look at your true desires.
By clarifying XX, you can XXX
If you have a desire to keep posting every day, then
"Why is that?"
"Why do you want to post every day?"
Try asking yourself these questions.
In other words, you should clearly define your"motivation" and "purpose"for posting.
"Why do you post every day?"
The more clearly you define that motivation and the destination you want to head toward, the more the energy to move toward it will naturally well up.
In my case,
I have the purpose of making posting my life's work, becoming free from money, time, and space, and living a fun and abundant lifeI also have the dream of
spreading the culture of "turning posts into money" of the company I love, note, even furtherI also have
the purpose of increasing the number of friends who live abundantly in such a world line.
That is why I can continue to work steadily every day toward that dream.
What are you posting for?
What are you writing on note for?
May you be able to continue your creative activities while enjoying them with joy.
I am always here cheering you on!
For those who don't know how to face themselves, I also offer lessons like this. For your reference.
