Have you ever noticed that writing something down makes it seem to be more tangible and real? Why does it seem so hard to go from wishing to planning?
I don’t know why I need to be reminded of this lesson time and again, but I can say I rediscovered it again recently.
Energy is something precious to me. It seems like I never have enough to go around. When I woke up and realized I was cutting all the things I enjoy in life just to survive, I wondered what I was surviving for.
In order to have meaningful content in your life you have to have something meaningful to add as content, and that doesn’t mean just sitting back and wishing. By taking a few steps of reconnecting and nurturing friendships in the past two weeks I have felt an amazing sense of accomplishment. The energy spent to take these first steps was small in comparison to the reward.
While my life feels fuller and more interesting I am going to make sure and take another step forward, and yes, I am going to write it down.
- I am going to try one new thing every week that I haven’t done before.
- I am going to write something creative every day.
- I am going to not let setbacks keep me from trying again.
Thank you to everyone who has made comments and offered support. I hope to return the favor to you and others. We are all precious let’s treat ourselves like we are.
