The Bloggy Chiropractor 3-Step Program
I confessed in my last post that I have been feeling a serious need for a readjustment. Something to get me and my bloggy ways back into balance.
Some of you have told me that you’re right there with me. That you feel bogged down by blogging. Overwhelmed. Not sure what to do next.
And so, I’m kicking off a series of posts devoted to this topic.
I give you… The Bloggy Chiropractor!
You know you need a visit to the Bloggy Chiropractor when…
- You feel overwhelmed and out of control.
- You spend most or all of your spare time blogging.
- Your family says you blog too much.
- You blog instead of doing your chores. Regularly.
- You feel like blogging is taking over your life.
- You think that blogging is hurting your relationships.
- You feel like blogging is making you a worse mother/wife/sister/girlfriend/employee.
- You are tempted to quit blogging altogether.
- You feel trapped.
- You’re ashamed of how much you blog. You hide it… you lie about it. You know it’s unhealthy but you just. can’t. stop.
You’re not alone! The Bloggy Chiropractor is HERE!
Together we can kick this blogging addiction and take control of our lives.
It is possible to blog AND have a life! Let’s prove it together!
Over the next few weeks I’ll roll out a three-step program that’s designed to get us out of the bloggy rut and back into a healthy blog/life balance.
I hope you’ll join me!

Sign me up! I regularly have psychotic breaks from blogging.
It seems like every 4 months or so I completely stop blogging for a month. Call them bloggy sabbaticals.
Once I take the break, get over the guilt, everything is good and I start blogging again. I used to feel guilty about these breaks. For sure I would lose at least half my readers, but again my priority is my family, my life and my sanity.
Blogging should enhance or at least peacefully co-exist with those entities. If not, blogging is not healthy. Just take a break! A clean break! Cold turkey.
Then come back when you are ready. The readers will come back eventually too. But you can never get that time with your family back.
I guess the key is moderation. I guess I could be a bloggy chiropractor taoo, eh? The painful, breaking kind.
great idea. lately I have been having the opposite problem: my life is taking over my blogging time. I crave the psychic release of posting.
I love this idea Jenny. I may be making an appointment soon.

You can do this? Really? I can’t wait and really hope ti works. I’m looking out the window at this gorgeous day wondering how on earth I fell into my laptop…again…
Ah! It feels so good knowing I’m not alone and there’s help on the way! However, I just took a week off for vacation and now I feel more lost and overwhelmed than ever!
I don’t think I’m there yet but I can definitely see how this can happen.
Maybe being armed with this info will help me to never get to that point.
