It's already almost 2 months ago but ever since I was invited by to The Creative Blogger Tag Challenge, it's been in the back of my mind. I have felt for a long time that I have so much to discover here on Hive, so many people to get to know and interact with. And I only have myself to blame for not being more active lately.
But better late than never...
The Creative Blogger Tag was originally created by and you can check out the original post here.
And you can check out 's post here.
Obligatory questions:
1. How would you add value to Hive?
This is such an interesting question for me because when I read it I realize I have a hard time thinking of myself as someone who adds value. I guess that's more in general. Even though I know I have a lot to give and offer, it's just a challenge for me to think of my writing as something that would add value.
But I know I feel so inspired just by being here on Hive and especially reading so many personal posts. I also really appreciate when people share about the situation in their country, even if it's just in a sentence or so. And pictures from their lives.
So that's what I'm doing myself. I usually write rather personally and when I feel it's relevant I add some information about the current situation in Sweden and I almost always use my own images.
2. How would you make Hive a better place?
Also a hard question for me but I try to be kind. Write kind comments and encourage others. Kindness is a trait I value a lot and also something that I think is undervalued.
I could definitely spend more time on Hive though. Reading and commenting. I hope to do better!
Questions by
:
1. What are you most grateful for today?
Actually today turned out to be a really challenging day. But I feel grateful for my ability to pause for a second and pause my very agitated mind. I took a couple of deep breaths and then I started to cry. I needed to let it out. After that I felt better.
I also feel grateful for my ability today to observe my thoughts and convince myself that whatever is happening now is not the end of the world and I'll sort this out. After that I let go a bit and trusted that a solution will present itself.
2. Favorite type of posts/topics you enjoy reading on Hive the most? Also if you have a favorite blogger or community, you can give them a shout out.
Oh. was definitely my favorite community and I'm still trying to find a new 'home' on Hive 🙂 (Have to try harder, I know). I love the initiative by
and
. I have a lot to learn there!
Otherwise I really like to read personal content. Some people here I feel I kind of know, even though I haven't met them! Also, of course, anything on spirituality, personal development, etc. But for me, a post that's only a lot of facts is not that interesting to me. At least not if it's something you could easily google.
3. What lifts up your mood and makes you feel better?
Hm. Good question. Spending time in nature. (Even though I don't do that enough). Yoga helps me a lot. But yoga helps me more to calm my mind than it lifts my mood I guess. Pole dance has been great to lift my mood but I currently have a break from that.
And of course, talking to a friend.
4. This year is coming to an end. What was the most memorable thing that happened to you so far?
It's interesting because my phone summarized my year in pictures a couple of days ago and I felt quite sad to watch that slideshow. It really struck me how eventless my year has been. I have hardly gone anywhere (also within Sweden). And so much time spent alone. A record, even for me.
But I would say the most memorable thing is the tantric retreat I attended last summer here in Sweden. I also wrote a post about it in case someone is interested to read more. My summer was pretty good, in general.
5. If you could have dinner with any 5 celebrities and/or Hive bloggers, who would it be and why?
Actually I don't really have a list of celebrities that I would like to meet. The thought has never fascinated me (except in my teens).
But I could sure think of more than 5 Hive bloggers that I would like to have dinner with 🙂
I'll choose the same people as I'll tag in this challenge.
because she has just amazing and has offered me so much support.
because she fascinates and inspires me in so many ways and I would like to hear more about her life story.
because he inspires me a lot and is so knowledgeable about topics I would like to learn more about.
because he has supported me a lot and it would be great to finally meet IRL.
because I would really like to hear more about how it is to live in Thailand (even though she shares a lot in her posts). She is such a strong woman. (Everyone I have mentioned here is a strong person).
I feel so bad for only being able to choose 5...I could definitely have made a long list. I didn't want this to stop me from writing this post altogether.
My questions for people I am tagging:
1. How does a typical day look like for you? From the time you get out of bed until it's time to go to bed.
2. What is one thing you really like about yourself?
3. How would your dream life look like? Or are you already living your dream life? Or do you feel that's not a good question to ask because you create your (dream) life every day?
4. Name one person you admire and why. It could be someone you know or a famous person.
5. What do you usually have for breakfast? (I'm interested 🙂).
Please don't feel pressured to answer. I know isn't really a fan of challenges. But these are questions I would love to hear the answer to 🙂 It's all just for fun, as
wrote ❤️
Of course, if someone who I didn't tag wants to write an answer feel free to comment and I can edit this post and add you 🙂
Thanks for reading 🌸
Love and blessings to you all 💚
