month on...month off

A month of writing is far more productive then a month without.  That's what I've learned.  Mentally productive that is.  I challenged myself to blog everyday and I did and then like I diet after the month was over, I stopped.  It is a true testament to intention and to the power of making a commitment and not.  How often do I just meander.  Here's the thing if you don't make a commitment to yourself or to someone else then your life becomes a series of days where things may or may not get accomplished.  We hate these words, commit and schedule.  If your like me it feels like your freedom is being taken away.  I want to be spontaneous.  That's what goes thru my head.  But here I sit and if I look honestly at the quality of my life when i committed to something for 30 days versus a month where I did a little of this and little of that I have to say the first month felt really good and accomplished.  I'm learning about the effects of will power, another word that isn't particularly loved but with it you can have anything.  We can hope and wish for things but really if we just aim and commit then we can have it.  I know I am so fortunate to live where I live and have what I have but for some reason I feel like I'm struggling.  I can't seem to find my mojo for school, for coaching and for just having fun.  I feel stuck and maybe this is what I need to do....write.  It's hard for me to write when I feel stuck and don't feel like I have anything to offer.  This is what make us human I guess.  Having this struggle to feel alive and vibrant versus feeling the weight of life on you.  I am feeling the weight and I guess I just need to acknowledge it.
Today I am grateful for this absolutely gorgeous day that has inspired me to get outside and write.
