Accomplishing More In The Midst Of Quietness.
Hello everyone, welcome to my blog again. I wonder where the days are flying to, we entered the new week just the other day and we're almost getting to another weekend, wow. It's as if the day is in a hurry just like we, humans too, lol.
Talking of being in a hurry, some days ago I asked a question on threads,
Why are we always in a hurry?
I got so many replies one of which I believe has some truth in it
It's not our decision, it's like a "social imposition" in the search for a better life.
It seems like the society we are in today is shaped in a way that we now find ourselves always in a hurry - rushing to do one thing or the other that we fail to take care of the most important thing which is ourselves - give ourselves a well deserved private time, oh I'm so guilty of this. Even on Hive some of us are also in a rush to publish posts without actually putting creativity into making them evergreen contents that we will be proud of, contents that even in years to come will still be relevant.
I guess it's based on these two premises that the creative work hour and dreemport collaboration were put together.
When I read the dreemport's February challenge prompt about writing a post - well not just any post but a post you're passionate about, a potential featured, pin worthy post - evergreen post, I was like what, writing just a post for three weeks, how awkward, lol. Although I've taken days to write a post, three weeks is damn too long.
And I began to think of what exactly will I be writing about for these length of time, of a fact I was totally confused and stuck with the whole idea but with the guidance and detailed explanation of the challenge process by Dreemsteem, captain of Dreemport and of course other dreemer's contributions during the CWH sessions on discord, I was able to gain understanding about the challenge and a choice topic, which the final work will be published in the third week of the challenge.
As regards to the CWH sessions, I would say that it came at the right time - a time when I've become overly busy with both important and unimportant things neglecting myself. I've known about the CWH before now, Infact Allessandrawhite already sent me the discord invite link which I joined but making out time to attend the sessions was difficult because of no time, lol so when I got to know about the collaboration with dreemport, I couldn't defer it more so I had jump in and I'm glad to do so because of the uniqueness of the sessions.
The parts I like most in the sessions are the mindful breathing and mindful meditation. These are simple techniques which when carried out to the latter - by shutting off all distractions, are able to help one find inner peace, calmness, refresh, gain more ideas to be able to bounce back to work and accomplish more tasks.
Every human breathes, quite alright but the mindful breathing is on another level, by practicing this breathing in and slow breathing out, I'm able to shut off every other distracting thoughts and enjoy the moment after which I felt my nerves calming down, the tiredness making way for inner and outer strength and a clear mind for creative thinking.
I remember one of the days during the meditation period, I drifted off to a dreamland and it was the time up call that brought me back, lol. It was so relaxing and refreshing.
Oh did I forget the journaling time where you get to keep your fingers active while listening to the soothing cool music from Spotify, all thanks to @alessandrawhite, you plunge into drafting any idea that comes to mind, whether about the challenge post or any other thing - the idea is just to write and keep writing for about seven minutes.
And and the end of it all, I was amazed at what I was able to put down.
In just one hour of the CWH, a lot were accomplished and that's the essence of the session.
Now that I've tested the sweetness of the CWH session, I hope to show up even after the collaboration with dreemport because I know that there are more creativity tips to learn.
Thank you for reading.
Still the #threadsaddict 😂
I am equally guilty of being hurry in doing things. Unfortunately, being in a hurry deprives someone the opportunity of considering every details. This is the second post that I am reading about the CHW collaboration with dreemsteem. I hope that I will be able to join next time as a new dreemer.

I agree with you, being in a hurry doesn't help at all.
Sure you can always join the contest anytime.
Contests usually hold every month and we do get collaboration with other communities.
Alright. Thank you
