The habit that has helped me.

Habits are a very important part of our lives and like someone said, we all are a bunch of habits. Our habits are those things we do daily that we don’t struggle to do or think twice about doing them. They come out with ease because we are used to doing them and they are now a part of us. Someone said that it’s difficult to build a good habit and very easy to acquire a bad habit.

It’s said that when you do something consistently for about 21 days, it becomes a habit, so some persons a proposed the 21 days challenge to building a good habit. The irony is that it can come all crumbling down if not followed up on. Simply the work of the brain and its mechanisms. Well, good habits are still sure difficult to form and I always wonder why it’s like that.

I have a couple of good habits I have formed around my life but I am going to be writing on this topic in relationships to my blogs experience. One of the good habits I have formed in regards to my hiving experience is the habit of show up everyday. Writing is something I love to do as it helps me unleash my inner most thoughts. It part of my way to unwind and feel listened to. So I try to write everyday.

I could say that hiving is part of my journaling cos this is my blog and I write daily. From the first day I joined hive till now which is almost four months ago, I have formed the habit of writing at least one post daily. I missed sometimes especially days when I had a very busy day or that I am extremely tired but be it as it may, I try to engage with other or make comments or write something. I just want to show up everyday. I tell myself, girl show up everyday.

Well, some people may it be in support of this or not but this is my way of doing what I love. Some would either feel I am doing too much or feel they can’t keep up with it. Well, I pour my heart into my blogs and it has helped me a lot. This habit of showing up everyday had helped me to build my blog and in relating with others. For someone who didn’t know anyone or even knew where to start from or go to when I came to hive.

Initially getting support was a Herculean task and I kept wondering where I was getting it wrong. I saw a lot of people who just came getting big votes on their intro post and I am like whaaaat?🤣🤣🤣. I crawled from reputation forty upwards and it felt like forever to break into fifty. Well, thank God for some good people on hive that was willing to teach and help a newbie. And thank God for the habit of being willing to listen and learn.

Well, I listened, learn and grew and I am still growing but one thing I know that have helped me this far is the showing up everyday just like I showed up today and I will keep showing up. Every day is not juicy but I’d keep to this habit of showing up everyday in good and bad times. Thanks. You too can show up every day.
