A Writer’s Swamp Lesson
I apologize for not writting a blog post since September 27th. I did miss writing my posts. However, instead of Writer’s Cramp, I experienced “Writer’s Swamp”.
It all began with… preparations for our family observance of Rosh Hashanah, followed by preparations for 3 What Color Is Your Brain? Programs in one week, observance of Yom Kippur with our family, reviewing and revising my new website and on-going calls and with the home flood repair service providers.
Finally, but not surprisingly, I succumbed to exhaustion… I was SWAMPED! I felt like a enormous green swamp monster was holding me captive.
My “Yellow Brain” that always feels a huge sense of responsibility to my family, friends and clients was reminded of a valuable lesson.
I need to be more “Blue Brain” and take good care of myself by remembering… if doing something is not a “healthy decision” for me I need to say, “That does not work for me!”
With this selective “Green Brain Mantra” I trust I will avert another episode of “Writer’s Swamp”!
Has an enormous green swamp monster ever held you captive?
Please Spread the Word
Yikes!
The cool thing you learned from your recent swamp-time is to voice your choice: “This does not work for me!”
Yes, we all need to remember our voice and our choices and when to use them both WISELY!
