Hi there, I have a question. I really need some advice right now cause I'm pretty much on the verge of saying, 'fuck it' and giving up on writing / creativity in general. How do I continue creating content when me and my one friend seem to only enjoy it. Also, in the creative community I'm in, there are these things we make to promote our blogs and the whole point of them is that once you make them you're kinda suppose to expect people to reblog them, but no one reblogs mine and I feel bad.

I'm so glad you asked this question because it's a really good one!

1. Creative communities can be SUPER cliquey.

Definitely NOT knocking creative communities here! Sometimes, they can be really great for motivation and inspiration! But there are other times where they can (and they do) choose favorites. ESPECIALLY on tumblr. And 90% of the time, it probably doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the writing. It has to do with networking, personality, productivity, among many other things.

Here's a case in point: I am a published writer. I have 5 or so short stories in a variety of anthologies alongside stories written by: Seanan McGuire, R.S. Belcher, and Faith Hunter.

If my writing can hold up alongside authors like this, I must have some level of capability, right???

But when I dabble in fanfiction occasionally, you would be surprised how painfully little interaction I get on my stories. I see plenty of other writers get traction on THEIR stories in the same fandom with the same pairing, and - I hate to say it - those stories are often not edited at all and riddled with errors.

But maybe they publish more often.

Maybe they have more friends they chat with who are willing to promote their work.

Maybe they write more sexy stuff that people are willing to read, regardless of the writing quality.

My point is: outside of fanfiction, I feel strong in my writing abilities. But when I'm writing for fandom, I start to question whether I'm *actually* a decent writer or if I'm really just a sham.

Online communities are only one facet of the audience you can present your writing to. And if your current creative community isn't supporting you, keep looking to find one that does. Try other communities, other platforms, other writing events for promos. There are SO MANY ways to get your writing out there these days! Keep testing things out! :)

2. In the end, who are you writing for?

There's plenty of writing advice that insists you write for a niche audience.

There's plenty of writing advice that also points out how important it is to to be heard by an audience (which is true!)

But in the end, if you had no audience at all, if you were in the middle of a desert wasteland at the end of the world and you were the last person on the planet...would you still write? Would you still tell stories?

That sounds somewhat simplistic (and majorly overexaggerated...I mean, end of the world? really?? :P ) but you might benefit from taking some time to get away from the social aspect of writing communities for a while. It's really easy to get trapped in "keeping up" with your community, writing more to "be seen", etc.

But would you still write FOR YOU?

I wrestled with this issue myself a few years ago when fanfiction really took my knees out from under me and leveled my self-esteem as a writer.

But eventually, I always come back to the fact that I started writing because it helped me make sense of the world. I like telling stories. I feel comfortable and confident when I communicate through writing.

I've battled with social anxiety most of my life which has led to speech problems (stuttering, going mute) so speaking can be riddled with even more anxiety.

But when I write??? I feel calm. I feel capable.

I write because that's where I feel my strongest.

I run into problems when I weigh my writing against other people's responses to it and I put my writing's worth on their responses.

And let me tell you: that is a REALLY bad habit. Practice looking at your writing objectively and recognizing the worth of it WITHOUT other people's opinions.

Maybe take a break from your creative community. Don't share anything for a while. Write something for yourself and don't let them see it.

Then after a little time has passed, maybe explore some other communities and see if they're more willing to signal boost your writing :)

3. Success is objective. And strange.

Some of the best known authors in the world were rejected MANY times before they received acclaim for their writing.

Other authors hit the bestseller's list and then wrote a book that went bust because it just wasn't well-received by people for whatever reason.

That's the catch-22 about writing: there is no success formula. You can study best-selling books for a lifetime and STILL not find the answer to WHY they're all successful. One might be written incredibly well while another can be extremely choppy and flat.

You have no way to tell if people will like your writing or not.

The point is that hinging the worth of your writing on literally ANYTHING else except you will leave you frustrated and starving ENDLESSLY.

So tell the story you want to. Tell the story that you're proud of. Enjoy the process. :)

YOU ARE inspirational, your friends aren't lying. So many of us can't stop being stagnant and that's ok too. But you, you are doing so much and you are handling this better than you see it yourself.

Make them see that it is ok? Wouldn't you want to cuddle and take care of them? Treat yourself like that, please. Treat yourself like you deserve to be taken care of, because you do. (2/?)

Take yourself on a date, buy you something nice when you can, try not to tell yourself things you wouldn't tell other person (cuz I know you are the kindest to people). And it is ok if somedays you can't handle things the best way, but you're just human and it is okay. Allow yourself to be imperfect. We are all trying hard in this life and we are all making mistakes. I am proud of you for trying. Keep trying to be better for yourself. You are precious and (3/4)

Chaldeans v.s. Pythagoreans: Ready, Set, Start Your Number Fight!

Hi all and welcome to Spirit's Throwback Thursday blog post. Today I wanted to discuss Numerology and it's origins. Numerology is a belief that the divine sends us messages through numbers, words (like your name) and synchronicities. In this time it is considered a divination tool, but this was not always the case. There are two main branches of numerology, Pythagorean and Chaldean. These branches differ slightly from one another while still maintaining the belief that numbers were equivalent to divine truths. For the sake of ease we will be discussing the two most popular, Chaldean and Pythagorean.

Pythagoras was born in Samos (a Greek island in the Aegean Sea) in the year 570 B.C. Pythagoras is most famous for the Pythagorean Theorem (A squared plus B squared equals C squared), so the squared sums of the two sides of a right triangle are equal to the squared value of the hypotenuse. But many seem to ignore the fact that Pythagoras was an astrologist, numerologist, musician and a spiritual Guru. Pythagoras had an ability to contact enlightened souls, who helped him discover all his previous lives, and make predictions. His teachings stated that every planet had a signature sound, and the sound was represented by numbers. He then taught that the numbers each had separate characteristics, and meaning to our lives.

The following is the references used in Pythagorean numerology.

a,j,s=1

b,k,t=2

c,l,u=3

d,m,v=4

e,n,w=5

f,o,x=6

g,p,y=7

h,q,z=8

i,r=9

Add all the numbers up in a person's name and then reduce to single digit. For example: Gloriann Cruz Albino would be: 7+3+6+9+1+5+5+3+9+3+8+1+3+2+9+5+6= 85, then reduce: 8+5=13, reduce again: 1+3=4. In this case 4 is the name number. The only numbers not reduced are 11 and 22 the master numbers.

Number 1: The light side: initiative, leadership, individuality, bravery, executive ability. On the dark side, selfishness, laziness, aggressiveness, narcissism.

Number 2: The light side: cooperation, harmony, love,partnership and finesse. On the dark side: over sensitivity, untactful, timid, indecision.

Number 3: The light side: artistic, creative, self expression, imagination, social, and cheerful. On the dark side: pessimistic, loose lipped, tends to exaggerate.

Number 4: The light side: constructive, systematic, practical, keeping order, builder,industrious. The dark side: lack of imagination, argumentative, very serious, ill health.

Number 5: The light: constructive, freedom, sexuality, versatility, knowledge, entertainment and amusement. The dark: changeability, carelessness, restlessness, nervousness, Jack/ Jill of all trades, master of none.

Number 6: The light: artistic, responsible, love of home and children, care about the welfare of others, unselfish. The dark: being too sensitive, coldness, nervousness, skepticism, lonely.

Number 7: The light: spirituality, the occult, analysis, researcher, wisdom. The dark: selfishness, laziness, aggressiveness and self centered.

Number 8: The light: executive ability, organization, authority, judgement, and administration. The dark: impatience, love of recognition, lack of humanitarianism, materialistic.

Number 9: The light: generous, humanitarian, sympathetic, selflessness, divine connection. The dark: moody, impulsive, must learn selfishness, careless with money, attracted to a life beyond their means.

Number 11: The light: intuition, illumination, inspiration, spirituality and prophetic abilities. The dark: too sensitive, nervousness, tension, impracticality and shyness.

Number 22: The light: materialism, spiritual master, practical and guiding light. The dark: conflict between inner feelings and practicality and attraction to magic.

While using this divination to figure things out about yourself if the number is from letters make sure you use your birth given name. For example 4 is my name number, which means the following. The light side: constructive, systematic, practical, keeping order, builder,industrious. The dark side: lack of imagination, argumentative, very serious, ill health.

Chaldean Numerology has been in use since the Babylonian era. There is a difference between Chaldean and Pythagorean Numerology, Chaldeans believed you could use the name that you are know by (nickname). Another major difference is that Chaldeans used the birth date number ( number of the day you were born on). This number reflects the personality and health of the native. The final major difference is that Chaldeans interpreted numbers 1 through 52, to symbolize the weeks in a year. Following is a letter to number analysis.

3=C,G,L,S

4=D,M,T

5=E,H,N,X

6=U,V,W

In conclusion Pythagoreans use numbers 1-9, 11 and 22. While Chaldeans use numbers 1-52. All believe that numbers are a intricate part of life. So as a Numerologist myself, I use the Pythagoras system. But just as any other divination systems, numerology is 90% belief. Blessed be.

We all know how wonderful it feels when we get a great night’s sleep, we wake full of energy and ready to take on the world! Despite all of us knowing how good sleep is for us, it seems less of us are getting enough of the good stuff, and our health is suffering as a result. One of the biggest causes of missed sleep is stress. We flick off the lights and lay our head on our nice soft pillow, but instead of drifting off to the land of nod the little voice in our head begins to list all the worries we have for the following day.

[mailerlite_form form_id=19]

Stress and sleep are strange bedfellows. The more stressed we are, the less likely we are to sleep well. But then the worst we sleep the more likely we are to develop anxiety, stress and even depression. A cruel cycle indeed; it’s all quite unfair! What can be done to break this cycle? Well, below I’m going to let you in my top tips on how to get more sleep and reduce your stress levels.

This post was written by Sarah, view bio below.

Get into A Routine

Regularity is probably the most important thing anyone can do to help improve their sleep. The human mind craves routine. Doing the same thing at the same time helps the brain build associations and with its shortcuts.

Go to bed at the same time every day, get up at the same time. Whether it is the weekday or the weekend, try and keep to the same time. Note, your body doesn’t care about weekends, Saturday is nothing more than a social construct. You will soon find your brain knows what time sleep should be and will start to prepare for it.

The same principle lays behind a having a good pre-bed wind-down routine. Avoiding screens in the hour before bed will help your overstimulated brain slow down. Replacing any activity that involves even the remotest possibility of stress with low key, relaxing things instead will do wonders.

So, that means no more tax returns, flight booking or attempting to help your son with their math homework before bed. Instead, why not slow down, read a book, listen to some music, or even take a nice hot bath.

For other ideas on what makes a great pre-bed routine, plus a host of other tips on how to improve your odds of a good night’s kip, check out the Sleep Advisor blogroll.

Take A Nice Hot Bath

Speaking of baths, AH! What is more relaxing than soaking into the bubbles and having a nice long bath before bed? A lot of people swear by it, Oprah Winfrey for one. If it is good enough for the queen of daytime, it’s good enough for us!

Pre-bed bath enthusiasts often claim it’s the toasty warmth of a good soak that lulls them to sleep. Well, they are partially right. Having a hot bath before bed is great for inducing sleepy times but not for the reason they think.

When you have a hot bath, a process known as vasodilation takes place, this is where the blood rushes to the skin. Hence why you get rosy cheeks. When you then step out of your nice warm bath all this heat at the surface of your body is transferred to the cold air around, and you experience a massive thermal dump, and your core temperature plummets. It’s this cooling effect that is incredibly soporific.

Having a hot bath, or an ice-cold shower will have a similar impact. It’s just a hot bath is a far more pleasurable experience. Both are ways to help you de-stress at the end of a long day and get your body and mind in a good place for sleep time.

Calm That Monkey Mind

One method to calm that chattering voice in your head at night is to take up a little meditation. And no, before you ask, meditation is not just for monks and hippies. Though, these two groups do seem pretty relaxed!

Everyone can benefit from the effects of a little meditation. It’s free and requires nothing but a place to sit. To genuinely feel the benefit it does, however, require the commitment of at least 15 minutes each day.

It might sound dramatic but meditation over time essentially works by reprogramming our brain.

I know that sounds outlandish, the brain scans substantiate such claims.

Daily sessions of simply sitting and observing whatever images and ideas that float through our mind’s eye, help us realize how futile it is to worry about every little thought. This helps to free us from negative patterns of thoughts, reduce anxieties and de-stress. Find a quiet corner and give it a go.

Well there you go – three simple and completely free (if you don’t count bath salts) ways reduce your stress levels and help improve your odds of a great night’s rest. A little unsure, well, why not give them a whirl. What’s the worst thing that can happen? You miss a bit of sleep!

Hi there, my name’s Sarah, and I’m a sleep addict. I simply can’t get enough of the good stuff. When I’m not lying in bed dreaming (mainly of Chris Hemsworth) I spend the better part of every day researching and writing about sleep. I genuinely believe the world would be a happy, healthier, and even safer place to live if we all took sleep a little bit more seriously. Sweet dreams!
