Cut yourself some slack


A wonderful post on the Word by Wordโ€‹ #blog by Kathryn Janeโ€‹ on giving yourself a break.

Word by Word

On the first Tuesday of every month, Iโ€™m โ€œsupposedโ€ to post a blog entry here on Word By Word.

But Iโ€™m running a bit late, because over the last week or so life got complicated and much sleep was missed.

Stuff piled up.

My emotional and creative wells hadnโ€™t run dry, but I just couldnโ€™t seem to concentrate. To get words to stick on the page.

My subject of choice had been โ€œplanning and goal setting.โ€

I began to write about how Iโ€™m not a planner, therefore donโ€™t set goals. For me, there are lots of dreams that lead to looking at possibilities, and creating options in my mind.

  • If โ€œAโ€ happens, Iโ€™ll be able to do ____
  • If โ€œBโ€ happens, Iโ€™ll go to ___ instead
  • If โ€œCโ€ happens, I will have three more options

But all these ideas are simply โ€œexplored,โ€ as opposed to being thought through in detailโ€ฆ
