Today marks the end of my 30 day writing challenge 🥳

It feels good to hav e completed something that I said I was going to do.

Outside of missing one day (which I made up by extending the challenge), I really took the time to write and share my thoughts on whatever really came to mind.

As I reflect on my writings and the past 30 days, I wanted to. share some of the things that I've learned about myself:

learning #1: ideas flow pretty easily

I thought I would need a plan in order to know what I was going to write every single day. However, what I found interesting is that for the majority of my posts, my ideas usually came that day. It was a great opportunity to release the pressure of having to talk about a single topic and just let ideas flow as they came.

learning #2: getting my thoughts outside of my head is critical to reduce overthinking

There have been a couple full-circle moments with my writing that helped me able to process different things that I have going on in my mind. This 30 day challenge has helped me close some loops that I will forever be thankful for.

learning #3: building a writing habit was easy

I am honestly surprised that there was only one day in which I didn't write something. This 30 day writing challenge showed me that if I want to write every day I can do it and it wouldn't be a huge issue.

learning #4: i want to write more

I knew I loved writing when I first started this challenge, however, now I'm realizing just how much I like it. I'm excited to write more about books, productivity, or any other things I've learned in a space that isn't filled with a lot of pressure or structure.

For the remainder of the year I'm going to be taking a break so that I work on building a better content engine for my ideas and to come back ready to write more. I'm proud of myself for completing this writing challenge. This time has been invaluable.
