Hi fellow Hiveians,
Today I wanted to talk about how I started something and actually ended up stopping which is not common!
Starting and Stopping
The other day I had something interesting happen to me that doesn't happen often: I started to write but decided to stop!
I've written about a few different times that for me, writing is an important thing that I rely on being in the correct mood in order to be able to do it. I could write when I'm in any mood regardless, but the content that I want to put out is "good" in my eyes and not a load of horse shit. It could very well be a load of horse shit in many peoples eyes, but I certainly hope not hahaha.
I wanted to write some stuff the other night and started to do it, but for one reason or another I fell right out of the mood and actually had to completely stop. I went and did something else instead which was okay, but it was an interesting thing for it to happen. I haven't, in a long time, sat down to write and actually couldn't finish what I was doing. I hope that's not foreshadowing to the future that's for sure!
I think having the ability to reflect back on the mood and realize that it's actually not a good mood to be in, so instead of forcing some bullshit out there, it's much better to stop what we are doing and just give it up for the night. That's not an easy thing to do, and for sure it was something that bothered me but these days I am trying to get better at adapting to things that happen in the moment.
It was a good thing that I did it that way because it worked out in the long run. I got a few other things done, some of it mindless entertainment enjoyment but that's okay. We need to be able to take a step back and relax mentally and physically periodically otherwise we are going to drive ourselves insane and also burn ourselves out. Nobody wants to get burnt out that's for sure!
I wonder if the particular topic that I was going to write about is going to end up being one that I just delete. When I try to do something, and it ends up just not working out, sometimes I just scrap the idea entirely. I know that's probably not the best way to go about things, but it's also good to be able to take something that we wanted to do, not like what was going on and just get rid of it. That doesn't happen too often for me, but I think it's an important step that we are able to take. I know that sometimes people force things to be just because they want to, but that doesn't always turn out the best way and may cause more harm than good. I don't know if a post on Hive is that extreme of an example, but it's along some of those same lines I would think.
What about you, have you had something that you started recently and gave up, and delete it, because you just weren't in the right mood? Let me know in the comments!
