How has Steemit improved my inner self?

I’ve been having writer’s block on this topic for the past two days, but I have to get this one done before @lexikon082 starts breathing down my neck! After all, it is his contest initiative and he did give me a reminder to do this one already.  

Hmmmmmm. . . . . .

To make it easier, I’d better take a step out of myself and analyse myself as an object. Here goes:- 

@FOODIE.WARRIOR IS ADDICTED TO STEEMIT!  

And that’s not necessarily good news. . . The addiction lures her away from family-time and the recommended amount of sleep daily. Her neck has a crick from using the laptop every day. Her eyes strained from constant laptop screen-gazing. Her brother-in-law bored stiff because she’s not played a game of chess with him for weeks. 

Fortunately, there’s good news!  

The Mann and her little brother can now chill and watch horror movies without her whining in protest because she simply can’t stomach horror movies (her hyperactive imagination means the fears get literally crippling). She’s happily occupied on Steemit.

Okay, on a serious note:  

Steemit Improves Her Brain

Steemit has enhanced her cognitive processes. There is the mere daily practice of consuming and digesting written as well as pictorial content on an exceedingly diverse range of topics. Then there is each successive post she churns out that gives her muscles of writing, editing, content organisation, and photo-taking skills a good workout. Throw in some basic html coding that a bumbling techno-noob like her has *had* to pick up in order to make her posts more reader-friendly, . . . well! Her brain definitely packs loads more information into its convolutions as a result of her Steemit addiction!  

Foodie.warrior’s ability to process and respond appropriately to comments is honed everyday. She gets to engage in interesting conversations that are both intelligent and respectful. In doing so, she is exposed to and learns how to better navigate the ins and outs of interaction with other parties. Her participation in communities allows her to play a fulfilling role in both supporting other members in their dreams and goals and getting others interested in her content in return. 

Steemit Improves Her Heart and Gut Feelings

 As she reads the stories and struggles of others, @foodie.warrior’s eyes are opened up further to life experiences that she has no personal experience with. This increases her awareness and, fortunately, her ability to empathise with these individuals on their respective journeys.  

Her normal tendency to judge others on first impressions is also toned down, as she gets to first read their stories and get to know more about them through their content on Steemit. This scenario is rather the opposite of first-time face-to-face meet-ups. If one person has a Resting Bitch Face or a Mean-looking Mug, it might cause the other to form his private reservations even before words are exchanged.  

Through her experience on Steemit, @foodie.warrior is also encouraged towards generosity to others. The generosity that she has received by fellow community members is a great example of leadership through example. She wants to return the warmth and love that she has been blessed with within the community.  

These all balance out the bad effects of her Steemit Addiction :)
