100 Days of Content Days 51 - 75

If you’ve been following me for a while you’ve probably picked up that I’ve been doing a 100 Days Challenge. The challenge is to make a piece of content each day to share on one of my social media channels whether it be my blog, Thinking This Facebook Page, Thinking This Inner Circle Group, thinkingthistarot on Instagram, thinkingthistarot on TikTok or my YouTube channel. I’ve tried numbering them when I would make the content but sometimes I forgot to do that. This list will help you find each one that was posted for the challenge on days 51 - 75. Check out the previous blog posts for days 1 - 25 and days 26 - 50.

Day 51

Today we are starting the second half of the challenge. I have learned a lot about what kind of preparation I need to do in advance in order to post more involved content. There are a lot of videos in my backlog that need editing. I was hoping that this challenge would enable me to complete those works in progress but these videos are going to require better time-management.

I shared yesterday’s grid in Thinking This Inner Circle on Facebook with some additional information that I hadn’t shared in the original post.

Day 52

I’ve been feeling low energy these past few days so today’s content is a simple reel on Instagram reminding people that my books are open.

Day 53

I shared a carousel on Instagram that describes my tarot services.

Day 54

This carousel describes my written tarot relationship readings.

Day 55 - 56

I began this challenge on September 23, 2023. When I began I was unaware of specific world atrocities. Obviously I was awakened to some terrible truths about the world during this challenge. Among them, the fact that Israel would be bombing Palestinian civilians for over 40 days.

After the Prayers for Palestine live my cousin and held, I slowly began to share various videos of Palestinian life on the ground. I would repost these images on my TikTok feed and in my Instagram stories. I didn’t count these as my content because it was not generated to promote my work and business, which was the spirit that I intended when I began this challenge.

I had begun to use a TikTok filter that was fundraising for the Palestinians and was making one daily post using it. I made my daily post using the filter and then ran out of time to make something Thinking This related before the night ended. So I’ll share that post as Day 55 of the challenge. The Filter for Good has maxed out its payout and other creators have put forth other games with the same intent.

Since this blog update is longer than a few sentences and is being added on what would be Day 56 of the challenge, both days are combined in the same entry. When I think about the utter sadness and devastation I have witnessed these past few weeks, I wonder what is the point of even keeping this challenge going? Am I doing the right thing investing this daily time on promoting my business while a genocide is happening? It’s a very existential type of contemplation. I will continue to do something to try to amplify Palestinian voices. I’m going continue the challenge for now because I don’t know what to do instead. I need to keep working if I want this investment to work.

Day 57

This affirmation is meant to clear the mind and relax the nervous system. Grab an aquamarine and feel this vibe.

Day 58

I shared a celestial note in the Thinking This Inner Circle about today’s lunar phase.

Day 59

I made a screen recording of a few moments of my new video unboxing the Oracle of the Angels deck.

Day 60

I was at a loss on what content to prepare so I spontaneously recorded a check in regarding the 100 Days Challenge in the Thinking This Inner Circle on Facebook.

Day 61

Another video for the Thinking This Inner Circle. Join this group if you want a personal connection with the community.

Day 62

I shared a little bit about the full moon in Gemini.

Day 63

I made a Facebook post pointing people to the blog posts discussing the 100 Days of Content Challenge.

Day 72

Day 73

I decided to share the December trackers on YouTube shorts with music because my ASMR attempt in the previous version didn’t get as much traffic as I normally get.

Day 74

I shared Day 70’s video on YouTube shorts.

Day 75

I received Notebook Therapy’s La Soleil Diary today and had my daughter unbox it.

100 Days of Content Days 26 - 50

So the challenge has gotten more challenging. It was a spontaneous decision to start this challenge, I’d only heard about it two days beforehand and had very little time to strategize and prepare. So it looks like I have about 23 days of spontaneous posting before I reach the point of needing things that I’d worked on in advance to get published. Check out the first blog post discussing the 100 days challenge that links to the content I shared during the first 25 days.

I’m learning some things about how I can help myself be successful at consistently making content. The top thing I can recall from these past 26 days is that I need to start my day knowing what the posting strategy will be. There were a few close calls where I didn’t even remember that I was due to post something until my daughter’s bedtime. The other is that I really need to have batch content prepared for when I’m feeling sick or the days I am too busy to work on something.

Day 26

Today the energy levels were also low and I almost let another day pass. I went simple with a video we had in the archives and came through, even if it posted after midnight.

Day 27

This blog post counts for Day 27. I opted for this when my phone died while editing a video I was planning to post.

Day 28

In this TikTok video I share what went wrong with a Chocolate Swiss Meringue Butter Cream.

Day 29

Unfortunately, I did miss a day of posting due traveling and preparing food for a party. But we’re shaking it off and persevering.

Make a grain free pizza with me. Choose the TikTok version or the Instagram version. They each are a little different.

Day 30

I posted great affirmation for increasing your confidence to make good choices on both Instagram TikTok.

Day 31

My cat was super snuggly this morning while I sat in front of my light lamp so I decided to record his purrs.

Day 32

I’ve been working through some big tasks and have been using a herkimer diamond as a crystal ally. I found an affirmation similar to this one in The Book of Stones under the herkimer diamond entry.

Day 33

My books are open for November and made a post announcing that.

Day 34

I baked coconut flour chocolate cupcakes with Swiss meringue buttercream for my son’s Halloween event.

Day 35

I decorated my planner for the month of November so I shared the cover page on Instagram.

Day 36

This is a video of my complete November planner set up. I shared it on YouTube as well.

Day 37

My husband made a procreate process video inspired by one of my favorite declarations- Only Love Prevails.

I shared my November planner video on Instagram with different music.

Day 38

I shared yesterday’s Only Love Prevails video on Instagram. It may seem like a cheat to share the same video as yesterday but since it has different music, it counts for me.

Day 39

I flip through my October habit trackers in this TikTok video. I also shared this on Facebook. (https://www.facebook.com/reel/1527166608032969?fs=e&s=TIeQ9V&mibextid=0NULKw).

Day 40

I shared the crystal skulls I’ve been working with this past week in my private Facebook group- Thinking This Inner Circle.

Day 41

Only Love Prevails on TikTok this time. I spent the whole day yesterday on a play date with my daughter and got home late. Then I got side-tracked and forgot to post. I was planning a simple re-share so I am disappointed that I forgot.

Day 42

My cousin Michelle La Mente Maestra and I planned a special event called Prayers for Palestine. It was meant to be held via Zoom and shared to our private group but something about the permissions/settings made it so I had to share it on my main Facebook page instead.

Day 43

I shared deck interview that I frequently use on the Thinking This Meta page.

Day 44

I posted an unboxing and review of Oracle of the Angels by Richard Webster on YouTube.

Day 45

I made a short Facebook post announcing the previous day’s YouTube upload and shared it on TikTok stories.

Day 46

I made an affirmation reel using Iniko’s Jericho.

Day 47

This time I used the music from the Interstellar movie to share my affirmation video on TikTok.

Day 48

I decided to see how my affirmation video would do on YouTube shorts. The video received the most engagement and views on TikTok.

Day 49

While I worked on various content ideas today, I didn’t get to complete them in time, so I went with well wishes for 11/11.

Day 50

Oh man I’m shaking off disappointment right now. I filmed some beautiful footage of my goldstone crystal skulls yesterday. I even caught the sunlight twinkling on one of them. When I went to edit the videos this evening, they were gone. I have until the end of the day to post something.

100 Days of Content

I’ve decided to do a 100 day challenge from September 23, 2023 - December 31, 2023. I will be posting at least one piece of content every day on one of my social media platforms.

My purpose for this challenge is to see if I can develop a sustainable posting schedule without letting any of my social media channels stay idle. My pattern thus far has been to put my energy behind one platform periodically. I’d like to be consistent in all of my content venues. If you’d like me to explore any topics during this challenge, leave a comment and I’ll answer it during these hundred days.

Because these 100 days of content will occur on all my platforms, I’ve decided to create a blog post that will be the repository for it all.

Check out my connect page for links to all of the platforms.

Day 1

In this TikTok video I’m trying to be funny about how Virgo season has impacted me.

This Instagram reel was suggested from a carousel I made in 2020. There is a blog post of it as well.

Day 2

You must join the Thinking This Inner Circle to see this one.

Day 3

This is a quick YouTube short featuring one of my favorite directions of energy- Only Love Prevails, paired with one of my favorite songs.

This is the English version of the Instagram reel from Day 1.

Day 4

When I saw that I could download these Dark Woods Bullet Journal Theme pages from Journal Away, I changed my October cover page just for the skull picture.

Day 5

I made a YouTube short flipping through my planner set up based on the digital stickers I mentioned in Day 4. I love it.

Day 6

My daughter and I went to the MIT Museum with a friend and I paired some of the pictures and video we took with an audio of one of my favorite Abraham Hicks quotes on Instagram.

Day 7

I posted a prayer in honor of Archangel Michael on TikTok.

Day 8

I couldn’t finish the content I’d originally planned to post today so I’ve kept it simple by finally publishing the blog post (this one!) announcing the challenge.

I haven’t decided if I’m going to keep updating this post or make a new post after a certain interval. For now, this is the place to check for updates.

Day 9

A tarot message for the collective shared on TikTok and Facebook.

Day 10

An affirmation I’ve been saying today. I shared it on Instagram with different music.

Day 11

It was a busy low energy day for me so I made a quick post about The Wheel of Time series that I’ve been reading since 2021. I posted this on my very neglected Instagram page, neglected due to my focus on the tarot business content. This was also cross posted to Facebook.

Day 12

A prayer to Archangel Gabriel on my TikTok.

Day 13

Rune divination for Thinking This Inner Circle.

Day 14

I posted a photo on Instagram of how I like to break the moon phases down in a lunar cycle.

Day 15

Instagram suggested a reel for my Goal Setting with the Moon carousel. I was working on content for the lunar cycle starting on October 14 and ended up just letting this one count, even though it’s technically not a new piece of content.

Day 16

I shared a picture of my tarot journal with my entry showing The Seven Card Spiral Spread.

Day 17

My son and I watched The Exorcist (his first time) while I baked chocolate chip cookies.

Day 18

I had to “cheat” and post something from earlier this year. Even though it’s not the same platform, I have to stop myself from feeling like I got by on a technicality. That said, this is a beautiful crystal grid with a timeless sentiment.

Day 19

I posted an affirmation on my Facebook page that I was contemplating while writing my content for the coming Libra new moon.

Day 20

I made a video explaining the limitations that I have on my schedule and why sometimes my books aren’t open.

Day 21

It was the night of my Facebook Live event. Check it out, it will only be available for 30 days.

Day 22

I made a post stating my desire for the end of colonization and genocide in Palestine.

Day 23

I wrote an affirmation for the New Moon in Libra cycle. I shared it on both Instagram and TikTok.

Day 24

I made a YouTube short with the books I’m about to start.

Day 25

I missed one day because I felt sick and forgot to post. I posted a TikTok story earlier in the day for fun and didn’t think it should count. After a few days of consideration, I decided that it fits the parameters that I’d initially set out- once piece of content on one of my platforms. Since it’s a story there is no link but I saved the photo so here it is.
