Five Reasons Why a Blog Break is Essential
Blogging is both fun and exciting. I must admit though that at times, it can be exhausting especially if you have other responsibilities outside your blog. That is why I find it essential to take a blog break whenever the stress levels are getting higher to avoid compromising my blog’s content. Personally, I find it very helpful. So if you are at that point where blogging is becoming a pain, here are Five Reasons Why a Blog Break is Essential to help you realize that it might be what your blog needs right now.
Five Reasons Why a Blog Break is Essential
It gives you a chance to live outside your blog
Every blogger knows that running a website is no joke. It takes so much time from your friends, family and most importantly, from yourself. That is why taking a blog break can give you a chance to spend some quality time to your circle outside of the world wide web.
A chance to re-evaluate your blog’s contents
There comes a point when we feel like our contents are becoming redundant. Personally, I find this uninspiring and it sometimes makes me unproud of what I am sharing. However, after a few breaks, it made me re-think the kind of contents that I should share not only to entice my readers but to keep my passion burning.
Time to gain new ideas
You may want to relate this to point number 2 when you are doubting your blog’s contents. Having a blog break gives you renewed experiences thus will generate new inspirations and ideas to improve your blog. What I do is I write down any new goals or objectives that I can implement once I am ready to start blogging again. In fact, most of my new blog post ideas are planned during a blog break.
It renews your creativity
Fun as it may sound, blogging became just a habit for me. I lost the fire and would just share posts because I had to not because I wanted to create and inspire. My posts became plain and lost the life I wanted it to have. Taking a few blogging breaks, however, gave me time to rekindle my sole purpose of creating my blog in the first place. After reminding myself of my purpose, I slowly gain new ways to improve my contents.
It makes you miss blogging
After a few days or weeks of taking a blog break, you would soon develop an itch to go back to blogging ASAP! With the renewed ideas and inspirations, you would find yourself writing more and ranting less. Blogging, you’ll find, is so much fun after all and it will prompt you to create more exciting contents for your readers!
Hope you find this post helpful and remember that it is okay to take your time off of blogging at some point!

I took quite a few blogging breaks. You really get your creativity back and have a lot more ideas and things you want to do which is really nice. I only find it a little hard sometimes to fully get back into the blogging things. Loved your post xx

Thanks. It may take time and that’s okay. Personally, it took me about a month to really go back into blogging again but the most important thing is that we are still here!!🙌😃

Definitely agree! I haven’t blogged consistently in quite a long time but it definitely makes me miss it because at the end of the day I LOVE creating content!

I just recently came back from mine and I feel like I can see things in a different light now. It can be very exhausting so taking some time off allows me to find better ways of being efficient.
