RE: Ramblings from the Couch // Why Your Best Posts are the Ones that Push your Comfort Zone

in #vlog7 years ago

Everything that scares me,
Anything where I expose myself! So I started blogging first about where I was coming from. Tried to add value to the platform, yet feel I fell short of the mark.
Then moved into a daily vlog for a week, plan to get back there. This was huge commitment right out the gate to test my ability to record and edit on a short time frame.
Started a community to try give back, open love is one big take away from recent past happenings.

I started here with no real goals yet every step of the way I find some wall I have to knock down to get there.

First off, never blog or vlog before that’s completely new and was very hard to press the submit button yet after curation for a week I decided to write something I was passionate about and thus started my therapeutic journey. Many things melt off when I write which I had never know before, in itself an alarming experience!

Stage fright, in band class the crowd laughed while I had my bass solo because my neighbour who was very handicapped broke my concentration while cheering me on. Stuck with me forever and often I will screw up what I say trying to listen to myself when I notice eyes on me. Having to do shots over gives me a lot more practice at spitting the words out in succession so it’s helping on a worldly level even.

Learning to edit video, I made a few that were very hard to get through. Subjects that make me cry every time. Now I have a memory and a message to remind myself with, spoken by my own voice! The process of creating these videos was tough but it was needed at the time, forced reflection let’s say.

Basically to sum it all up, my entire experience has been learning! I say learning because refusing to let that negative energy you have stop you is the only way to let it go, knock down those walls!

I have thought about doing reading, in the spirit of curation yet I don’t know how well this will be received but I may give it a go eventually.
