There are some days when I have no idea what to write about...
I'll get to my computer, go to write a post and there's just a blank in my mind. Like there aren't even thoughts going on. I stay open to my thoughts, even try to think of something to write, but I just can't. Even ideas I have for posts won't come, even follow-up posts I know I need to write. The words aren't there yet.
So here I am writing about not being able to write. Because it's important to know that we don't always need to write about something. We don't always need to be striving to create. Sometimes we just need a bit of a break to let our mind rest. Writing this post is kind of nice, there's no pressure.
Just like this post, there should be no pressure in our lives. We shouldn't be pressured to perform, we shouldn't be pressuring ourselves to accomplish, do better, be better, try harder. Unless that is what we want of course. Sometimes it's hard to see what we really want in life though, so we follow along with what we think is right for us.
We've taken advice, read about success and happiness, listened to other people who found their way, but what about our way? What do we really want. If you could choose the person you were, how would your day look? How would you act and respond to the events in your life if you were already the person you wanted to be?
I want to write, so here I am writing about not knowing what to write about. I want to run, so I should start running and working out more, keeping my body healthy. I want to be a good man, so I should meet all the challenges in my life with an even head, and do my best to be compassionate to others and love.
There's no reason we can't be the people we want to be, we just have to actually be them, keeping the habits we would keep, and acting the way we would act. Simple as that.
This little writing didn't go where I thought it would go. I didn't really know where it would go to be honest. Sometimes that's the best way to write or create. To just begin and see where the activity takes us, to see what comes out into expression. Maybe next time I'll write something prettier ;)
What kinds of activities do you do to spur creativity?
