1- How do you feel when creating content? Is it a pleasant experience for you or, on the contrary, does it generate anxiety and discouragement?


Firstly I would like to say, Creating a content on a steemit can be a rewarding experience but it requires commitment , patience, and a willingness to learn and to adapt and resolve varieties of challenges. I had been using steemit platform from several month. In this time duration I have learned many things and got various types of experiences.So, according to my experience. Content creation on steemit can be both a pleasant and challenging experience.I think it was sunday when I suddenly entered in to this platform. In the beginning phase I was excited to share my ideas and knowledge with the steemit communities and it was rewarding, receive a feedback and engagement from other users. My heart felt great to see my content getting upvoted and earning rewards in the form of steem, steem dollar, steem power and trx.However, as time went on, I realized that creating content on steemit can also generate anxieties, some discouragement and lazyness Especially if your content is not getting the engagement or rewards that you actual hope. It be a frustrating to put a lot of time and effort into creating content only to receive little to no response from the community and the community curators. Despite the challenges! I have found that creating content on Steemit has been a great way to connect with other with a wide like-minded individuals and share my interests and passions with my steemit friends. I've learned a lot from other users and have been inspired by the unique creativity contents on this platform. With the view of achieving success in this platform. I'm trying to focus on creating high-quality content that is informative, engaging, relevant to my audience and the curators. I've made an effort to engage with other users by commenting on their posts and participating in the various communities contest on this platform.

2- Have you ever felt mentally exhausted by generating content on a daily basis? Tell us about your experience.


Yes, I've felt a lot mentally exhausted by generating content on a daily basis. Creating content is my passion and while creating content it is too much fun. We all steem user know as well as experienced that creating content can be a full of fun and rewarding experience give extra level of happiness but for daily basis creation it is also a challenging to come up with new fresh ideas and it is hard to guarantee that the content is high quality.

3- What do you feel when your content is not valued as you expect it to be? Does this affect you mentally?


When my content is not valued as what I expect then I actually feels like I has wasted my time and energy to create content that doesn't receive the rewards it like a discouraging and demotivating. Seriously, receiving low engagements and rewards in my post create a big question mark❓❓in my skills of content creation.Big question mark❓❓❓❓❓ why? Why? Why?...!
And then I remind myself by saying engagement of peoples and rewards are not the only indicators of the value of my content but may be some how somepeople got benefited from it.


4- What would be your recommendations for a content creator to keep a healthy mind?


Some recommendations for other steem user to keep their mind healthy are given below:

  • Set realistic goals, priority to self-care, and seek support from their community.
  • Taking breaks to the creating content, practicing mindfulness, and exploring new topics in steemit for content creation.
  • Make a dairy like time schedule for creating content.
  • Collaboration with other steem users and steemit team.
  • Give a appropriate relaxation to the mind for new ideas creation.

In conclusion : Give your higher priority to the content creation instead of giving too much values to the rewards. Do good things but don't expect anything. If you have quality content it automatically paid by the curators. Keep calm to your emotions!

Hi bro @prabin09, thanks a lot for inviting me to this contest. You are right that creating content on Steemit can be a rewarding experience but it requires commitment and patience. Your article is informative, but I suggest you please try to improve your markdown style and try to write the post in short paragraphs. For any help you can contact me on Discord.

You are right content creation is fun and sometimes its challenges. Because many people are working on steemit in order to get good reward we have to write in a unique ways, the presentation and post quality matters alot.
And you are absolutely right we need patience as successful steemian must work hard and wait for his turn.

Best wishes
