Life intervenes even for the most diligent bloggers.

No matter your level of commitment, offline events often derail even the most motivated bloggers.

Learning how to blog – or pull back – during a crisis becomes an invaluable skill. If life is change and obstacles often arise during periods of change you better know how to persist with blogging during difficult times.

How to Overcome a Blogging Challenge

Have you ever wondered why enlightened souls tell you that the greatest happiness, peace of mind and joy is found in serving others? Helping other people is Love. Love overwhelms fear. Fear vanishes in the presence of Love, of Truth. Blogging a little bit in tough spots feels good and relaxing because your problems dissolve into loving, inspiring and aiding other human beings.

However, accepting these ideas emotionally feels uncomfortable in life’s darkest moments. Every human being suffers through crises. Blogging problems or life issues seem to cut down most bloggers because embracing discomfort feels too overwhelming. At the end of the day, being uncomfortable for a few moments seems worth overcoming heartache.

Follow these tips to surmount any blogging challenge or life trauma.

1: Double Down on Energy Work

Double down on energy work. Crises of personal nature – and global – are fear, manifest. Feel the fear, release the fear, and the crises evolves into a circumstance or situation. Feel deeper fears; the crisis evolves into an opportunity for expressing love, rendering service and developing peace of mind, amid the illusion of chaos.

I suggest:

meditating
doing Kriya yoga
doing yin yoga
exercising

Outworking Challenges Does Not Work

One difficult idea confuses your ego; mind believes you need to overcome heartache by:

doing
working
pushing
forcing
struggling

through blogging, working or flat out acting. However, stepping away from blogging-acting-working-forcing to manage your energy is the direct way to dissolve struggles because heartache is fear. Fear dissolves by being aware of fear. Being aware of fear requires you to feel fear.

2: Blog in Short Spurts

Blog in short spurts. Get in work. Help people. Then, give a max amount of attention and energy to handling your personal crisis.

Work. Then be done with it. Return to life outside of blogging quickly. No blogger sustains blogging-work during overwhelming periods of stress.

Do what you can do then exit stage left to rest and recover or to deal with the day-to-day stuff demanded of folks wading through murky worldly waters. Blog then get offline to embrace whatever difficulties you may face.

Life Feels Intense Sometimes

Imagine suffering through an intense episode like:

losing a loved one to a brutal illness
blowing all of your money
facing utter rejection from your husband, wife, family or friends

Do you genuinely want to blog for 12 hour days during such intense forms of fear?

No one caring for their dying mother has time or energy to blog for 10 hours daily. But someone in such a scenario can write and publish a 1000 word blog post in 20-30 minutes to inspire readers while embracing their worldly responsibilities.

During difficult stretches I set aside 20 minutes late at night to blog. Sometimes I wake 20 minutes earlier than normal to blog.

Give Yourself You Time

Set aside time for yourself daily, no matter what. Devote a tiny chunk of time to blogging. Whether you write and publish a post, network or simply check email just give yourself a few moments to blog in a short, brief spurt. Get a tiny bit of work in to build success momentum while licking your wounds.

Spend time in quiet. Observe your mind. Relax into uncomfortable emotions. Forgive these feelings. Recharge like a battery. Stop running on empty.

3: Sleep More

Sleeping sufficiently helps you feel well-rested. Feeling well-rested helps you think more clearly. Thinking more clearly helps you blog during a personal crisis. Any personal crisis is your fear, coloring a neutral situation.

Clear thinkers navigate through fear, get ideas for blogging and act on said ideas, no matter the circumstance.

Schedule Sleep

Some stressful life periods knock you out figuratively, goading you into bed. However, stress works in different ways. My mind feels as if it works overtime during particularly difficult life challenges. Specific blogging challenges feel stressful enough to keep me awake to 2 AM.

I respect my scenario and sleep when I can.

Do you feel like passing out late at night? Honor a later bed time but remain in bed later, too. Or nap during the day to sleep sufficiently. Highly successful entrepreneurs often nap or get 8 hours of solid sleep to deal with life’s curve balls, to think effectively and to tap into greater energy stores than most of humanity.

Bonus Tip: Feel Your Fears

Doing energy work, blogging in short spurts and sleeping well positions you to follow an important tip: facing, feeling and releasing fears forming any blogging challenge, life struggle or intense heart ache.

Self-sabotage is fear. Blogging challenges are fear. Heartache is fear.

Overcoming a challenge ultimately means feeling fear manifest as the challenge.

Do you want peace of mind? Feel fear fueling your mental chaos. Cultivate calm by feeling fear supplying your inner turmoil, Literally, 100% of the time, heartache is in your mind because everything is in your mind. Facing, feeling and releasing the fears of:

criticism
poverty
death
loss
failure

feels uncomfortable. But feeling the peace of mind consistent with:

not fearing what people say about you because you love and accept yourself
releasing the fear of poverty to live abundantly
letting go the intense fear of death to enjoy life
seeing gain, not loss
observing opportunities for growth versus failure

trumps any momentary pain, grief or fear experienced during fear-feeling sessions.

Feel fear. Allow yourself to cry. Let yourself be angry. Lock yourself in a quiet room. Grab a pillow. Cry into the pillow. Punch the pillow. Forgive yourself for feeling afraid. Hug shame. Embrace grief. Meet embarrassment head on. Go ahead. Be with fear.

Facing, feeling and releasing fears lessens your personal hardships which motivates you to do a little more blogging and a little less struggling through the challenging series of events.

Being present feels uncomfortable sometimes but moves along fears which feel like energetic anchors. Shake the anchor to move forward with your blogging campaign, even during moments of personal heartache.
