An Identity Crisis
I encountered this problem before with my blogging. I ran out of ideas. I didn’t know what I should write about next, so what did I do? I kept writing and rewriting the same thing over and over again. Was I going through the motions? I was certainly getting repetitions in. Which had been my…

Discipline for Micro Victories
Don’t wait until New Years to start working towards those New Years goals. Stop hunching. Pull your shoulders back and stick your chest out. My self talk is in a really demanding place right now…in case you couldn’t tell. Posture is one of those things that falls to the wayside on people’s New Years resolution…

I’m Back…Sort of
I’m now rewriting my first blog post for no apparent reason. I’ve typed it up already and have it saved as a separate note, but I cannot come to terms with it. So here I am. First off, thank you. If you’re reading this, thank you. I plan to maintain a regular schedule to post…

A Rant and a Plan
I have decided that I’m doing both types of writing. Blogging here and my morning practice. I am a writer after all. What kind of writer would I be if I didn’t make the time to do the type of writing I WANT to do. Not only do I want to do this kind of…

One Step Forward, One Step Backward
I began this blog through sheer force of will. I had time enough in the day to sit down and write in the morning. Occupying roughly the first 60minutes of my day. Rather than continue my [at the time] current practice of writing out 3 pages in my personal journal, I decided to devote that…

Write by Hand
Call me old fashioned, but I miss analog writing. The good old pen and paper, with thoughts flowing (hopefully) freely through my arm right onto the empty lines. It was such a joy accomplishing so much (3 pages!) by the time I am really beginning to tackle the day and the house starts waking up.…

Focus on Your Wins
Grind through. I didn’t sleep very well last night. I woke up before my baby woke up crying at 3:20am and couldn’t get to sleep until close to 4am. This is less than ideal. I was hoping to have woken up beating my 6am alarm. Instead, I hit snooze and was woken up again 5…

Holding Accountability
I’ve been away from my home and normal routine for a while and need to get back into the swing of things. I thrive in the morning. My routine in the morning is wonderful and I feel as though I’ve got it where I want it to be. So, it can be hard diverging away…

Communication Breakdown
Check in with yourself to see how you’re doing: How are you doing on the surface, and how are you really doing deep down? “How am I doing? Oh I’m fine. Yeah things are going pretty well actually.” Often times that’s true. I’m not lying about it. But there’s a lot that is left unsaid…

Inspire Yourself
Don’t wait for Inspiration to hit. Go grab it and wrestle it to the ground Waiting for inspiration is like waiting for your mom to make you a sandwich. You won’t starve, and you’ll get that sandwich…eventually. But it’s just quicker to get off your ass and go make a sandwich for your own damn…
