Finding your blogging groove after a long break is not easy. If you have taken a break from blogging and decided to make a comeback, you know exactly what I am talking about.

You are starting from a clean slate now. What is done is already done. Let bygones be bygones. All you can do is learn the lessons from the incidence and move on. There is no point in lamenting about it; is there?

I decided to write this post so that I can help the fallen bloggers who are really wanting to make a comeback. I know I needed some help, motivation wise, while going through some tough times recently. So, I hope this post is going to provide help and inspiration to the ones that truly need it.

Furthermore, I wanted to write this for findmyblogway because this article couldn’t be any place better than here; where everything is depicted about finding our own individual blog ways.

So, jumping to the meat of the post here;

How motivated are you for a comeback?

Motivation is the key in everything, even a blogging comeback. Frankly, there is no point in trying to make a comeback if after couple of months you are going to lose your MOJO and disappear again.

Without major motivation it would be hard to get that blogging thingy going again. It would be hard to get the writing groove back. Small number of comments in your blog, compared to what you once got, isn’t going to be much of a help either.

It can be frustrating but this is the true nature of the reality you are in. However, you want to prove that you are going to repave your blog way.

So how do you do it?

Here are 4 crucial things you need to implement starting from right now to get you going;

1. Get rid of the doubts and carry on:

When you go through tough times in life, naturally you are going to start having doubts. You might doubt that you can’t do it or maybe you are not good enough.

Screw them doubts and have faith. Believe in yourself that you can bounce back stronger than ever before. Find your true motivation. What is the real inspiration behind you wanting to make a comeback?

Remember the saying; what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger! People say it for a reason. Believe that all your plans and dreams are going to come true and work accordingly.

2. Create a schedule and a ‘to do’ list:

I am a big fan of creating a schedule, even though sometimes it is not possible to follow it 100% like we all want to. Over time I have figured out that I need to create a flexible schedule – one that I can easily follow and actually utilize in my daily life to get things done. To bounce back, you need to create a flexible schedule and religiously stick to it; at least try your very best (O:

Moreover, you also need a ‘to do’ list to keep track of all the things you are doing and all the things that need to be done. ‘To do’ list also provides great motivation in accomplishing tasks no matter how big or small they are. And yeah, for bigger tasks, split them into smaller pieces so that it won’t scare the product of Uranus out of you even before you start working on it.

3. Create new relationships and rekindle old ones:

I did mention that it sometimes gets frustrating when you don’t see the comments pour in like it once used to. But it is what it is and there is no crying about it.

Creating new relationships and rekindling old ones is the only way to achieve more plus revive the lost relationships.

Connecting with other bloggers – reading their posts, commenting, connecting on social media outlets, guest posting etc. is a great way to motivate yourself and find new and fresh ideas for your own blog topic. Besides, sharing is caring – It lets them know that you care about their hard work and dedication and they most probably will do the same in return.

4. Read your own blog articles:

One of my greatest motivations (besides my audience) has been my blog itself. Reading what you have already written can really inject the enthusiasm to bounce back stronger than ever.

How often do you delve in your archives and read all the good things you talk about in your blog? There couldn’t be any time more perfect than right now to dig them gold out. Start implementing what you talk about. That is a perfect way to inject the enthusiasm and bounce back with a vengeance.

Well, Like I said above these are the 4 things that will get you going. But you are not going to go anywhere without taking action. I should have included taking action as the first point in the list but I decided to leave the best to the last (O:

What are the other things that make this list more complete?
