Documenting Your Journey in Public

I remember going through the phase where I noticed the effects of stalking, negative comments and also noticed how some people don't like what we go through. I became shy due to the type of people have to handle. So I thought public documenting of journey was not a good idea.

But I decided to have courage and still pursue the journey of documenting my progress in public. How do I plan on doing that? How is the right way to document your journey in public? Let's discuss.

Ignore the Negative

There will come time when people would approach you negatively and you just can't take it anymore. And so using the block option or simply ignoring would work. And in such case you can see that documenting becomes more of your focus instead of people who are being negative.

Focus on Small Steps

You may feel like losing track of the small steps where you can see that it may affect your mood. So everyday do some small steps and keep going. You may end up doing lot better in matter of one year. So documenting your journey in small steps and enjoying that would make you more happy in the long run.

Choose Your Battles

You can't make every reader happy. And you can't get the most out of the public criticism either. So you have to pick and choose your fans and the battles. You have to also choose what good and bad you have to let go in order to move ahead. So pick who you want to deal with in that instance.

Keep things real

When you are documenting don't go on documenting only the good time forever as that would make people attracted to you where you can't show real emotion and so you also may notice that bad times don't remain forever either. So make sure to keep things real when you are documenting.

Documenting the journey in public blog or the social media can be a good thing but you have to keep an eye on many small things that could make up the journey.

Conclusion

There are people who document their everyday life in their vlog or the diary. And that has helped their journey in life a lot. So you can do the same if you want. You just have to watch out with various variables and choose what to share :)
