“Modify Your Thinking to Handle New Situations”: Wisdom from a Fortune Cookie
I was all set to sit and write this post, but hunger knocked on the office door, told me to call it quits for the day and took me out to my favorite Chinese restaurant. Good thing, because until the fortune cookie came, I didn‘t have a title.
Snap. I opened the cookie and out popped the title you see above. Perfect for what I have to say. Which is:
I’m back. The blog is once again in motion.
Yup. A month without a newsletter or blog and this writer at heart has been starving. Not for food. For creative expression.
All that I wrote about in the last post was right from the heart and remains true. I’ve pared back and focused. I’ve created more space in my life.
I thought that space would lead me to write a more personal blog, just for fun. But just as the fortune cookie says, I’ve modified my thinking since that post.
How?
THIS will become the blog I mentioned in the last post as being one I write “just for fun.” I won’t start another blog. THIS will be where I give myself permission to write when I want to write, make the posts as short as want, add a rant or two if the spirit moves me, pose questions I’d love to hear you comment about, let a week or more go by if I need to, or write ten posts in an afternoon if I’m having fun.
So there you have it. I’m breathing a sigh of relief and creative satisfaction at this new approach. It’s amazing what a shift in thinking will do for the soul.
I’ve left the former post up so you can see the thread of my process from last month to this. I now see it’s important to do so. I didn’t at first. I was going to delete that post and just jump right back in again. I’d like to thank my new Twitter-teammate, blogger “GeekMommy”, for helping me see the wisdom of keeping that last post in tact, building from it and sharing the process I went through. There’s nothing like a team mate to help you modify your thinking now and again:)
So, welcome back. To all of us. With modified thinking, we’re all back in the WellnessCoach blog saddle.
How ‘bout you? Modified any of your thinking lately?
