Welcome to The Daily Sneak!!!

Come for the crypto, stay for the community!

The Daily Sneak is back, but on a new page with a more distinctive name! You can earn up to 5 SBD per accepted submission for guest curating The Daily Sneak. Submission requirements are published at the bottom of each edition of The Daily Sneak.

Today's guest curator is @paradigmprospect. Life is a journey. And the more we learn and grow the more we can discover that the journey can take the most different forms for each of us - we encounter habit, we encounter challenge, we encounter new ways of perceiving reality and relating to the world we live in as well as to the contents of our own mind.

@paradigmprospect invites you to take a peak into the lives of 5 Steemians today who share some of their profound journeys with us - what they brought back and how we as readers can benefit from their discoveries if we are willing to listen to their stories and relate it to our own.

10 Ways To Find Motivation To Continue Writing On Steemit

All of us have been there - we want to continue our work in publishing or getting through the dreaded writer's block but we can't quite seem to pick ourselves up. But aren't there any useful and concise tips and tricks to find our way back to the mission we came here to do? You bet!

As @classicguy shares with us, there are many useful perspectives one can choose to consider to get over himself and to get back to work. While tips like this are often talked about I have rarely seen them summed up so well. So if you are looking for a concrete and direct way to get a lovely kick in the butt to get back to your mission I highly recommend checking out his article!

Travel Tuesdays: Chicago!

Even the coziest of work arrangements can eventually take their toll on us if we find that we can pay the bills but have largely put our passions and dreams on hold. And while the ego may try to convince us that all is well and peachy, sometimes intuition just knows that we ought to take a leap of faith to find a way.

And when we do - boy can it be amazing where life will take us when we dare to make a step into the unknown! If you want a real-life example take the little story that @stephie.spicer shared with us recently, where she takes us on an excursion into the windy city to find a way to better times and to secure a pathway back to her own roots - a pathway many would be able to choose but may have largely forgotten about in the busy times of illusionary dependancies on where we grew up and where else we could chase down our dreams.

Morning Ritual for Optimum Focus, Gratitude & Manifestation

Are you one of those people who think they ""need their coffee in the morning""? Maybe it's not quite as simple - maybe we have just gotten used to that quick fix to fight the initial drowsiness when starting the day. But fear not - there are time-tested alternatives that may turn out to be much more in line with a nature-connected life of presence, focus and solidity.

With his article, @nathankaye has delivered a thorough guide as to how we can connect and get present in a much healthier and satisfying way using only water, intent and a bit of ambition to get started. After all - doesn't it seem strange that many of us seem to depend on a daily plant brew just to get ready for the day?

And while you're at it, check out his amazing music as well! Thank you Nathan for sharing so much of your inspiring work with us regularly, I know many people will find it highly useful.

Bambuddha Ayahuasca Retreat - Part Three

As a traveler of the mind people who go on psychedelic journeys often have experiences that simply dwarf the most fantastic movies ever directed or the grandest novels ever written - simply because a trip into the mind is always interactive, intimate and nearly indescribable in words to those who have never made the journey themselves. The value of an interactive and integral experience beyond the confines of our conditioned modus operandi cannot be overstated, especially if the journey is approached with a loving guide, an aware intent and a willingness to lay bare our innermost fears, obsessions and weaknesses that will be lovingly exposed by ""her"" - just when we thought we didn't have any issues in life at all and almost believed it to be so!

If you are curious I can totally recommend the poignant and insightful descriptions that @voluntary shares with us about how mindblowing and mysterious this most ancient of customs can be and that it has remained so despite our modern-era programming to not take any subjective experience all too seriously. We have essentially been kept from nature and thus ourselves. Anyone who has ever gone on similar journeys will definitely find himself here, and long for the connection that gets forgotten all too easily among the daily activities of "civilized societies" <3

Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece with us!

Goblins breed giant rats with Feywild water and terrorize the city above -Fantasy Adventure

Just when we thought we had all possibilities in choice of occupations figured out we stumble upon this article! And you don't have to be an enthusiastic RPG-nerd to see the heart and soul that goes into his creations...

Come along on a journey into @derekvonzarovich's wonderful world of custom-made RPGs that tell the story of many exciting adventures and untrodden paths in the realm of the imagination. Tales of magic, creatures and lurking dangers that can take us back to what it felt like when we were kids and imagination seemed more substantial than anything physicality could throw at us.

If you are an old (or new) RPG lover I can highly recommend checking out his amazing tabletop designs of danger and excitement that he shares with us on Steemit, his blog and Patreon. Good to know we are not dependant on the large fantasy studios to tell a grand story - high five!

If you have previously submitted curation that was never published, please review the requirements and try again. We are always pleased to welcome new guest curators, and to welcome back former guest curators.

Steem Creators Conference

We had a great experience at the Steem Creators Conference! Check out #steemcreators to see all the amazing posts, photos, and video photage shared by the participants and attendees. You'll find some awesome content creators that you really don't want to miss out on!

Submission Requirements

On to the submission requirements for The Daily Sneak:

1. You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
2. All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
3. You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will not be accepted. We also check for plagiarism and only highlight authentic content.
4. Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
5. We try to spread the love around, so while selections from authors that have been highlighted before are welcome, they might not be included if the author's last inclusion was recent. Similarly, if you include two articles from the same author in one submission, we will typically highlight only one of the two.
6. Be sure to include your personal bio for me to introduce you to readers, and make sure that each selection has commentary. This can be just a few sentences about why you think the selection is worth our attention, or what is great about it - something that will make people want to click through the headline and check out the actual article. English is preferred, but other languages will be considered as long as English translation is included.
7. Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
8. Including image links to the source article is not required (and we prefer to leave some mystery if photography is highlighted and the article has only one photo.) However, we like to include images in The Daily Sneak, and not including any image links may decrease the likelihood of your submissions being published.

If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen for several different reasons. If you are unsure why an article was cut, please review the submission guidelines again. If you are still unsure, feel free to ask politely why it was cut.

Submission Reward

A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 1 SBD for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 5 SBD for each accepted submission!

Right now @thedailysneak's upvote is not worth as much as we are paying for guest curation. Why do we pay so much for guest curation? We believe that quality curation is very important to Steem. Paying our curators well encourages them to spend more time reviewing content and picking out the best pieces!
