Two Steps Forward, One Step Back
I’ve logged a nice win for myself today. On the one hand, I should have wrote and published a blog post this morning. This is the proverbial step back. Sadly, I missed that target. On the other hand, I have matured (that’s what I’m calling it, leave me alone) out of constant content consumption. Plus,…

Asking Better Questions: Part 1
Have you ever gotten yourself into a tight spot because you were asking too many questions? Or, just asking the wrong one question? Welcome to the club. I was got sucker punched by a drunk guy that I thought was my friend, because I asked if he was seriously that mad about someone else having…

3 Rules to Improve Your Writing
How best to improve your writing? I’ve been writing consistently for well over a year now. Which was preceded with another year-ish of consistent writing as well. So you might say that I am an expert in this new writing thing that hasn’t even been around longer than the internet. All joking aside, I’m still…

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…

This Is The Long Road
Sitting still can be one of the most difficult things for us to do. Have you ever had restless-leg syndrome? Have you ever not moved and fidgeted your leg while you were experiencing it? I didn’t think so. The impulse we have is to move your leg. It’s almost as if it’s contagious and your…

Break Through Part 1
I’ve been feeling slightly off for a little while. Kind of like when you’ve been really sick with a bad flu and all the symptoms have finally relinquished their hold on your body…but something is still kind of off. That’s where I’m at, but psychologically. [Your shrink has entered the chat] I have always been…

The Solution
Yesterday I introduced you to my nemesis, conflict. We don’t get along. Frankly, conflict is more like a bully to me than a nemesis. I just don’t do well when conflict shows up. My palms get sweaty, I lose my words, I get anxious. It’s not a good situation for your boy. The sad and…

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.…

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…
