I’ve decided to make some changes in my blog in 2015. In an effort to blog more regularly, I’m going to start doing certain topics on certain days of the week. January is another blog challenge, so I’ll be blogging daily every day this month. After January, I’ll drop back to Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Five times a week is more than enough for most of you to hear from me, even though Mondays and Thursdays will probably be pretty short.
My blog is primarily about positive mental health, reading, and writing, things I know the most about. While those might seem like unrelated topics, I don’t see it that way. For me, reading and writing are all about my own mental health. I think that stories reflect the culture they’re set in, and can have an effect on the way we think about topics. When writers tackle topics like depression, body image, bullying, substance abuse, and suicide in their stories, it gives readers a way to relate and understand in ways they may not otherwise have been able to.
So, here are the features I plan to implement.
Drumroll please…
Mondays- Motivational Mondays will be all about starting the week with a reminder or a quote to get you in a positive from of mind for the week.
Wednesdays- Wellness. On Wednesdays, I’ll post about some topic related to positive mental health.
Thursday- Throwback Thursday will be book reviews from the past, things I’ve read before with staying power, and what I think of them.
Fridays- These will remain Feel Good Fridays, where I’ll post links to positive news stories. I may add a feature where I talk about something positive that happened for me that week.
Saturday- Spontaneous Saturdays will essentially be a wild card. This will be whatever random thing I think about. Be warned.
As always, this blog is a work in progress. If you have ideas for features or particularly like/ dislike any of these, please tell me in the comments.
