RE: Reflections: My "Road to Recovery" Trip

in #life6 years ago (edited)

Yes, thanks for the reinforcement on the journaling. My one concern is the amount of time it will take, if done well. I will never win any awards for the quantity of content I put together “in here,” as it takes me awhile to put down what I do “get out.”

I like the expression they use in the pills descriptions (especially for pregnant women). I will translate it literally, maybe you have another (more native speaker) expression to describe this.

"Consider taking this medicine (pill) only if the benefits outweigh the risk".

What I mean is that keeping a journal will definitely take some (precious) time. But, I guess the benefits outweigh the risk of wasting time as it will definitely help you to sort things out, to see them in a different light or just to let it all out.

I sometimes also wonder if the efforts I put on Steemit are worth it, but I guess again the benefits outweigh the risk :D

It seems like the awards we take from Steemit at this point are not financial. I look at the efforts I put as an investment. Building a network and connections, joining in communities and building a reputation are the things that will pay out eventually in a few years (if Steemit survives). And the other big pro is the social support one encounter here on Steemit. I guess you can never monetize it, but it pays out well back in your subjective well-being. One gets a feedback from others, some appreciation and a sense of belonging. All these are crucial when it comes to personal happiness :)

What I am trying to say with all these countless words is that I always enjoy your well-thought and well-prepared posts :)

You wrote about Vacations & Your Mental Health. See teacher, I was paying attention!!

Haha, you were, indeed :D I continued the Stress and Cope Series and you can try some of the next Stress Hacks here. Maybe they could help handle the last days in the workplace you despise :/

Yes, well, I want to draw the attention of our fellow Steemians to your work “in here,” as I think you are creating great content and steadily adding value to our Steem blockchain.

Thank you, @roleerob! You are very kind!

I am terrible when it comes to managing my wallet and just now I noticed that 11 days ago I was sponsored 2 minnowshares (if I get it right) by you! Thank you very much! Your support means a lot to me. As I said, it is not about the SP or SBD, but for the feeling of appreciation and belonging. Thanks for making me feel this way!

I wish you an easy-going Monday and stressless last days at your workplace!

P.S. I did quickly go to your referenced "Stress Hacks" post @insight-out and see one I will come back to, as time permits. I was there long enough to see you are drawing rewards greater than anything I've achieved, with recognition from Curie and others. Very happy for you. Well done!

Thank you, @roleerob! This is mainly because I make scientifically based articles and the SteemSTEM community is extremely supportive! They upvote and share my articles and that's why I get this exposure. I think Steemit communities are extremely important when it comes to rewards and users retention.
