Share I can’t believe this is just the second full week of EveryDay. Lots happened this week – less about the stuff I did (even though I did start the INFJ Facebook Group which is awesome!) but more about what I learned. (I’m also having compassion for myself, for the fact that the lighting on [...]

Resisting Resistance
Share I am just not feeling it today. The blog post, the errands, the podcast, the emails, the dishes – everything on the to do list just looming over me. Today, I am plagued by resistance. None of the my usual strategies worked – couldn’t get myself to Panera Bread to write, cleaning out my [...]
Meh.
Share “Good day so far?” To questions such as this, I like to answer “yes, it’s great!” or at least “sure, of course!” or something equally enthusiastic … as if pronouncing my day as going amazingly well will mean that it actually is fairies and chocolate and wet sand between my toes.

Share The temporary excuse was the failure of a single digit. The diagnosis of osteoarthritis in the middle knuckle of my right ring finger – stiff, swollen – necessitating aleve and rest and splint and ice and the sticking of my flesh with needles. I couldn’t type. Couldn’t write. Was stuck with videos and hunt [...]
The Seduction of the Resistance Monster: Day 6 of Writing Every Day
Share As part of my 60 day sabbatical, I’m instituting a new habit of writing every day. First thing, as soon as I get up in the morning. Before any other work projects, before I leave the house to get my coffee (!!), before I do the dishes or indulge in any other excuse to [...]
Resistance Is Not Futile
Share Having trouble making a big decision? Are you stuck? Got writer’s block? Unable to take action? There are tons of guru’s out there who will teach you how to overcome or breakthrough your resistance so you can make a big decision or take big action. But today I have another take on resistance … [...]
