Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 8 Week 4: "The mental health of a content creator"
Hello friends, I am very happy to show my participation at this moment in this amazing community, thanks to the steemit team for such an amazing initiative of the engagement challenge contests which has helped steemains to engage with one another as we know each other better.
The above topic is such an educative and wonderful topic that would help steelians to access how we have been suffering mentally and also to work towards it. The mental health of content creators is very important because it is the health being of a writer. It also has to do with the emotional balancing of a steemian amidst all stress.
How do you feel when creating content? Is it a pleasant experience for you or, on the contrary, does it cause you anxiety and discouragement?
Content creation is one thing I love to do, I feel very glad making research to write it in my understanding for people to read and get specific knowledge from my content. Creating content helps me to know and understand that, I'm expressing my real self, my originality, and my abilities and it has to be what I know very well, I feel very happy while creating content because I know and I can defend what I am writting.
Most times I am been discouraged to write because the votes are not guaranteed but I have come to realise it by myself that, it is not aboutt the votes but it is about making people know what you can do and to also get admonished when reading my little content.
Have you ever felt mentally exhausted from generating content on a daily basis? Tell us about your experience.
Oh yes! I don't just start writing, I make sure I make research to know what I am writing about, I take my time to study before writing on a particular topic so, sometimes after doing all forms of research, I get exhausted, and most times, I take care of that by having some sleep or a nap to ease myself and to be myself to a normal shape inorder to start over again.
But when I write and get exhausted, I go out, catch some fun and come back to continue writing, with time, I got use to writing and now improving myself when it come to exhaustion, I dont get exhausted easily, I gradually become use to writing and presently, I could write more than two articles a day but it is not advisable in the platform.
What do you feel when your content is not valued as you expect? Does this affect you mentally?
I write and also have it in mind that a lot of eyes would read it and if eventually, my content is seen as not valued, I will really feel it because the aim of the content is to see writers commenting on my effort and to also appreciate my effort as well. I will feel bad and discourage, but in the school of writing, I have realised that all we need is a total acceptance that we learn everyday, when you fall, you rise up and head up again because life continues.
What would be your recommendations for a content creator to maintain a healthy mind?
My recommendation is simple.
- Feel free to express yourself to your knowledge and not to anyone's knowledge because it won't help rather you will be seen as a copyright writer and plagiarissm should be out of our minds.
- Dont feel bad when support doesn't come to your end, keep writing well and believe one day will be your luck and you must not also center on the votes, write because you want people to learn from you and not just the money.
- Be courageous when you are corrected on something by the curators, they are there to watch us doing well and by that, we will keep learning everyday.

Thank you very much for the support.
Friend you are right that we are not a very big scholars that we can have a lot of information regarding the every field keep in our mind so for writing on a particular topic which is not related to our field we have to made a lot of research first of all because at this platform we cannot convey the wrong information because it can spoils the environment of this platform because this platform is just for those users who convey the right information to other ones.
It is not wrong to say at all that we may get exhausted sometimes when we are making a lot of research because when we open some sites then there are different information and sometimes the wrong information wrong means to say that sometimes there is irrelevant information present in different sites and not relevant to that about which topic we are searching out exactly so this is also a big reason mental exhaustion.
The technique that you have provided to all of us is really helpful that we should have some a work of enjoyment and take some rest of some minutes to refresh in ourself to do work again with full of creativity and inspiration.
Success for you !!
