Getting ready with me!

When a blog is becoming an obligation – GRWM (getting ready with me)

So, I thought of writing another catch-up – sort of GRWM (getting ready with me) blog. Nothing fancy, just laid-back writing minding my own business. So, join me and stay till the end.

My blog is not flawless. My style of writing is very much raw and sometimes unfiltered. I don’t post for the sake of putting up content. I intend to share rich scripts of rational living. Again, I’m not a life coach – my narration is purely from experience and observations. Some might agree, some may oppose my weirdness or philosophy.

Keeping up with “Solace by Rhea” is literature that I commit to continue.

I only write when Inspiration strikes or kicks in. I don’t usually recycle my prints; what’s published is usually gone into my scrolls. I’m trying to be relevant as much as possible, bringing more defined/crisp subjects that best describe my argument.

How do I keep my cool?

I can say its faith; this page unfolds around uncertainty. That belief carries on till now; the beauty of uncertainty is to live consciously. To ignite the unknown with a “Come what may” approach.

Through the years, I have managed to come up with my own passage:

  • My thoughts are paramount; it is my duty to keep them guarded. It is our call to look after ourselves and to stay away from the things that gives us anxiety. Observing solitude creates balance.
  • Today, Solace gave me a temporary flight from life’s hurdles. I am my own solace and so are you. Solace by rhea is my gig! My haven where I can be true and authentic.  
  • FAITH has different languages and GRACE is not based on your belief. Someone’s belief is no different from others faith. Religion is not a division and blessings aren’t based from faith.
  • Our ego is like a balloon; as we mature it expands, it stretches when we refuse, and it burst when we hit the lowest point of our lives. People needs to experience the taste of failure to bounce back stronger, you appreciate things more when the storm is over.
  • Watch out! avoid the trap of overselling your Gratitude. We sometimes get overwhelmed and overshare unnecessary feeds in social media. #Iamfeelingblessed is abused most of the time. Why don’t we celebrate instead those who overcome rejections, fears, and relapse?
  • Practice Makes Permanent When you do it often it became a habit; when it’s regular it turns reliable. ( I don’t own this! I picked this line from my NLP prac )
  • You don’t find purpose; you build around it. When I was still young, I keep on asking myself where I’m bound to go, what is my purpose? Now I understand – we build our own path and purpose doesn’t exist. Our Vision is more pragmatic, so strong that we have the power to make it happen.

So, you see I only have few and I tried to be more eloquent here LOL.

Which one is your favourite quote from me?

I practice blogging without obligation, because sometimes less is more.

    I think my favorite quote is the one about building around purpose. That is so wise.

  2. Ben

    I like your unfiltered approach to blogging. I think too many blogs are so stiff and every single post is something sponsored.

  3. Bryan Carey

    I’m one of the few that doesn’t oversell gratitude online. I like to share and talk about things I’m doing, but that is about it. I probably should share at least a few #iamfeelingblessed moments.

  4. A Nation of Moms

    Blogging is definitely a lot of work. It makes sense to do things the way they are best for you.

  5. Talya Stone

    I really like your point about overselling gratitude. It is a really fine balance to keep, and I agree an element of guarding is required in this world.

  6. Kuntala

    I think practice makes permanent is one of the best sayings I’ve ever seen. I’m going to start using that one.

  7. Ivan Jose

    I love your thoughts and your philosophy when it comes to your blog. Like you, I do consider my blog a hobby but writing is an outlet for me so I do churn out a lot of articles.

  8. Elizabeth O

    I love this so much! I have tried to stay true to myself throughout my entire blogging experience. It’s all too easy to lose sight of why you started in the first place.

  9. Ntensibe Edgar

    This is the one….”You don’t find purpose; you build around it.”

  10. Sometimes, I feel like not doing anything at all.. BUT I already took some time off blogging and became a full time momma.. fastforward, kids are all grown, I have so many things in mind, hence coming back to blogging.. 🙂

  11. MidWife360

    Thanks for being your authentic self! Love “practice makes permanent”. Great inspo.

  12. Ramil Hinolan

    I like the way you present your thoughts. And the choice of words – excellent.

  13. Lizzy

    My favorite quote is you don’t find purpose you build around it. As well as practice makes permanent!

  14. Rosey

    It’s nice to see a purpose forming from just moving forward. I believe there are many purposes in our lives, they just come at different times. 🙂

  15. emman damian

    I really love the purpose of your writing. Keep it up! I’ll subscribe to your blog for sure!

  16. CA

    Love your passages! You have inspired me to come up with my own. Love the you don’t find purpose, and build around it.

  17. myusuftahmidillah

    That’s lovely, keep on what you’re doing now. Hope you find some new inspiration and becomes famous blogger

    I like the idea of blogging without obligation. It’s something I have been doing off late. Earlier, I used to try to do three posts a week, and the stress of scheduling and calendar, and everything was just too much for me.

  19. Just Juan

    As a fellow personal blogger, I know all about not having a flawless blog and writing in a way that is oftentimes raw. I think that’s what makes this style of blogging intriguing though it may be something of a dying breed with everyone so focused on SEO and influencing society. I look forward to seeing more from you down the line.

  20. MELANIE EDJOURIAN

    Blogging can be very time consuming sometimes. There is more work than some realise, it’s not just about sponsored posts and free stuff – nothing is free.

  21. risalopez

    I love the way you keep yourself cool. I will keep this in mind.

  22. Fransic verso

    Great point, I always try to keep myself cool and will keep these on the list to help as well. Thank you for sharing!!

  23. Knycx Journeying

    Love how you reflecting on your life and you have some good insights, appreciate you shared this with the world too, let’s make everyday a better day than yesterday. – Knycx Journeying

  24. I love this. I myself always try to be real and raw. If I ever feel like I am pushing out content that I don’t like. I have to stop and take a break. Blogging for me is also a haven and I need to keep it that way at all costs.

  25. cynthianicoletti

    Unless blogging is your only source of income then I to wouldn’t make it an obligation. We all need to do what is most important to us.

  26. Roshanna21

    Practice makes permanent! my mom used to say this all the time when I was younger and I hated but lol she was right

  27. Lyosha Varezhkina

    nice post, I agree it wouldn’t be an obligation, keep your cool

  28. aisasami

    I love the quote that it is ok to do less. It is so true, you don’t need grand material to make the best blog content, just be you.

  29. bye:myself

    I should hang this post above my desk. I started out just for the fun of it and now I’m putting myself often under so much stress.

  30. Prajakta

    I love your approach for the blog and very rightly said that what you start of with a positive note to put out something you want to and it become a routine and burden that you have to. It is good that you can keep it real.

  31. Aditinona

    I have been practicing this from the very beginning.. blogging comes out of passion for me and not obligation. Love your thought process ..

  32. Anosa Malanga

    Love your points here and I couldn’t agree more. Blogging should not be an obligation but should be made out of passion.
