Howdy neighbors,
So I've been thinking alot lately (really, really alot) about writing down stuff that goes through my head, (sometimes it plays over and over - ad nauseam) and have never felt completely comfortable about scribbling words in a diary or journal or notebook. I've done it, given it a good try, and while pen and paper do the trick as far as letting thoughts out of my head, it just doesn't have the flow, the ease, that I'm looking for. I've tried emailing certain ponderings to certain people who can help me sort out a particular subject, or who will be entertained by my musings, but again I'm left feeling that something is missing because email is so exclusive. In my thinking the email thing is meant for one person or for one specific group of people. I don't care to mass email things especially if the recipients don't know each other, or in some cases (depending on the subject matter of the email) don't know each other well.
Then I thought about blogging. But like many of you self-doubters, I didn't think it was for me. What do I know about blogging? I didn't even know where to find out where I could blog and I just knew that the whole process would come with tons of instructions and filling out of online forms and I was positive I'd get stuck somewhere along the line and would just end up giving up. Rather than failing I just didn't try. I know, I know.... that reasoning doesn't make any sense, and I know and believe that trying and failing is better than never trying at all, but still, I kept putting it off.
Well, as it turns out, law of attraction in practice brought me here. I love when I can succeed at focusing my thoughts on what I want rather than on what I don't have. I followed a link on a blog my son started (thanks Rob for being an integral part of this), and after reading his post I thought I'd check out starting my own blog. It turned out to be so simple I can't believe I didn't do it sooner.
But this just reinforces what I already knew but what I keep letting the negative self talk control. That I can have what I want. That I can learn and do new things. That what I have to say is important enough to write down (or type out) even if I'm the only one who is ever touched by these words. That I am important. I think that's the real message for myself, and probably for alot of you out there. We are important. If there's something that you want to do but are afraid to try, just take that first step. It doesn't even matter if you don't accomplish the thing you want to accomplish, just take that first little step today and see what happens. See how empowered you feel. See how much that little action will help you love yourself. See what it will allow the universe to bring to you.
Keep learning and growing. Dare to be you.
Much love,
Karen :)
