Day 4874: Engagement

Posted on May 7, 2026 by Ann Koplow

For months, I’ve been struggling to get engagement with my music on Twitter/X, trying different strategies and posting techniques.

Yesterday, rather than sharing a link outside Twitter/X, I included a video of a performance within the post and I got much more engagement.

Here’s the engagement-producing video…

… and the engagement-producing post (with comments).

It’s funny to me that I finally figured out how to get more engagement with my music on the same day that I resolved to shift my focus of engagement from my original songs to writing an article about my therapy groups.

My focus of engagement may shift, but I remain committed to meaningful and sustaining engagement, every day.

Do you see engagement in my other images for today?

The Daily Bitch has her own style of engagement.

Here’s what I find when I search for “engagement” on YouTube:

Thanks to all who engage in this engagement blog, including YOU!

Day 4845: Dealing with narcissists

Posted on April 8, 2026 by Ann Koplow

People in my Coping and Healing groups often talk about dealing with narcissists.

Unfortunately, because narcissists are world leaders, we are all dealing with narcissists these days.

Yesterday, somebody told me about a technique called “grey rocking” for dealing with narcissists.

Can you see dealing with narcissists in my images for today?

Looks like the Daily Bitch has been dealing with a narcissist. Join the club.

I wrote my first song because I was dealing with narcissists.

Day 4827: Good Ideas

Posted on March 21, 2026 by Ann Koplow

Does anybody think it was a good idea for the USA and Israel to bomb Iran? Do people agree that it’s a good idea to replace the current USA administration as soon as possible?

Last night I asked a question about good ideas on social media.

In the interview about my music and my therapy groups on the Therapist Uncensored podcast, I said I get most of my good ideas in the shower. My first good ideas about song writing created the song “I Don’t Like You,” which people were listening to even before the podcast aired last Tuesday.

Do you think there are good ideas in “I Don’t Like You”?

Are there any good ideas in my other images for today?

Which of those observances are good ideas?

Thanks to everyone who has good ideas, including YOU!

Day 4810: Nervous System Regulation

Posted on March 4, 2026 by Ann Koplow

From the comfort of my own home, I am attending a two-day experiential group on nervous system regulation through the American Group Psychotherapy Association. Considering the world we’re living in, many of us need to practice nervous system regulation.

Do you see nervous system regulation in my images for today?

Here’s the first song I ever wrote, which was a way of practicing nervous system regulation.

Day 4804: What other people are thinking

Posted on February 26, 2026 by Ann Koplow

As a group therapist and a curious citizen of the world, I’m often thinking about what other people are thinking. Because I’m not a mindreader, I ask questions about what other people are thinking.

Now I’m wondering what other people are thinking about this blog post.

I don’t know what other people are thinking about my attempts to share my music.

I wonder what other people are thinking about the first song I ever wrote.

I can’t wait to read what other people are thinking in the comments section below.

I’m grateful for what other people are thinking, including YOU!

Day 4678: Completely Wrong

Posted on October 23, 2025 by Ann Koplow

Earlier this week, I was completely wrong about something. These days, when I’m completely wrong, I quickly admit it and forgive myself.

There are so many things going on in my country and the world that seem completely wrong. I don’t expect things to ever be completely right but could we figure out a way to make them less completely wrong?

Do you see anything completely wrong in my images for today?

Years ago, I wanted to slap an irritating co-worker who was completely wrong and overconfident about that. Instead, I wrote my first-ever original song and is it completely wrong for me to share that now?

Thanks to everyone who is here for this completely wrong blog post, including YOU!

Day 4625: Kind Words

Posted on August 31, 2025 by Ann Koplow

I love sharing kind words, so I asked this question last night on social media.

Earlier in the evening, people at my favorite restaurant said some kind words about playing my new live album there in the future. For my part, I had many kind words to say about their amazing dishes.

Any kind words about my other images for today?

On We Love Memoirs Day, I have many kind words to say about Nora Ephron’s memoirs, which I love reading.

Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “kind words.”

Thanks to all who appreciate kind words, including YOU!

Day 4546: Planning

Posted on June 13, 2025 by Ann Koplow

I wasn’t planning to do this today, but here are some quotes about planning.

I am not planning to get punched in the mouth but I am planning to go to two No Kings protests tomorrow with my ukulele and a sign.

As I’m planning my campaign to introduce my original songs to the world, I’m looking into creating a home studio, investigating local recording studios, and finding a producer/engineer. Planning something new can be so daunting and confusing!

Do you see planning in my other images for today?

Here’s a song I’m planning to unleash on the world (and planning to sing at an Open Mic on Monday).

Even if you weren’t planning to, consider leaving a comment below.

Thanks to all who are here for this planning post, including YOU!

Day 4313: Views

Posted on October 23, 2024 by Ann Koplow

When I post my views and my songs on social media, I never know how many views I’ll get.

Something I posted on Twitter yesterday has already gotten over 100K views and the views aren’t stopping. In your view, which post do you think it is?

Before I reveal which one has a viral-level of views, here are the other views for today’s blog:

My view is that you might get into trouble if you slap your irritating co-worker, even on National Slap Your Irritating Co-Worker Day.

Actually it was an irritating co-worker whose views inspired me to write my first original song. Here’s my recent performance of “I Don’t Like You” which has less than 100 views on YouTube.

I’m trying to figure out how to get more views for my music, but in the meantime, here is the tweet with an amazing number views:

Did you guess which one is generating the most views?

I look forward to your views about views in the comment section, below.

Thanks to all those whose views matter to me, including YOU!

Day 4294: The places that scare you

Posted on October 4, 2024 by Ann Koplow

The places that scare you might include hospitals, social media, the ocean, the stage, or anywhere that greedy, selfish, and villainous people are in control.

Yesterday, I revisited a place that has scared me for decades — a hospital where I’m getting a heart-related surgery. However, because I was surrounded by wonderful, caring people, I wasn’t scared.

Do you see any places that scare you in my images for today?
