So, why don't I just write?
I was just pondering why it’s taken me over a month to post here. I can tell myself I have excuses, having health issues wear me down to the bone, for instance, but is that really a valid excuse?
Was there no moment during the past month where i felt at least a bit normal, and where I could have written something?
Of course there was, but here is the problem: being stuck in negativity sucks up all energy and focus, and, if I’m honest, I’m way too used to just sit back and do something unproductive, like watching a show I’ve watched before.
It’s such an awful loop to be stuck in!
So how will I break that cycle?
First and foremost by accepting that health sometimes sucks but dwelling on it doesn’t help my mental health.
The second one, though, that’s going to be a big one.
My experiment.
Every weekday, I will set an alarm at random times during the day, and then when the alarm rings, I just write whatever comes up for five minutes.
If that means I write blablabla 1000 times during those minutes, that’s fine. But I know that I can come up with something decent to post on either of my blogs at other times. Because, after all, writing is in my blood.
And it’s time I let the words out!
I think this will be a fun experiment. I will start it next week and will report my results when the week is done!
