It’s week 2 of writing, and I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’m already feeling resistance.
Stop-and-go traffic is the absolute worst. You can’t get into a good groove, you lose momentum, waste the most amount of energy (gas), and of course it takes the longest time to get to places. Life feels kind of like stop-and-go traffic at the moment.
If you’re sure of your destination however, we can start to ease in to the journey. What do you do when you’re stopped at that red light? Are you using the break to take a sip of your favorite beverage or water? Are you taking deep breaths? Are you dancing to your favorite song on the radio or relishing in deep thought? Or are you still angry at that red light?
Writing this past weekend had a lot of stop-and-go moments. First, I needed a cup of coffee and a good place to work. But the place I had in mind was closed. So I found an alternate location. Settled in and the Wi-Fi is down. Frustrating. Thank goodness I installed Microsoft Word on my laptop so I wouldn’t have to rely on the Internet.
Anyways I’m glad to be here with you all again, despite all of the red lights I encountered on the way to our destination.
So here’s my Wednesday Wisdom: If you’re ever feeling stuck, think of what you’d do if you were stopped at a red light. Once you accept and embrace each pause with some faith, you’ll know what to do.
