I spent several hours yesterday and a while today working on one blog post. I started with a lot of fervor about the topic! And then, the more I wrote, the less sense it made. I kept re-writing, re-ordering and revising what I wrote, and then, moments ago, I just deleted it entirely.
Sometimes, it’s okay to just let go. Not every idea is going to turn into something. But it’s also very okay to try and see where it goes. I’m noticing a need – and the ability to – be kind to myself about that. This isn’t failure. It’s just an idea that didn’t go anywhere – this time.
In other news, we’re now over 4% of the way through the year 2024. That’s worth noticing, don’t you think? And, this means I’m over 4% of the way towards my goal of making 2024 a relapse-free year. Also worth noticing, even celebrating!
Yes, celebrate the 4%! 🎉

It happens. 😄 If not “this time” then some other time.

I can’t get some of the thoughts outta my head. So yeah, I figure it’ll resurface in some way…hopefully clearer next time!

If the thoughts linger, there’s usually a clear reason, in my experience. Sometimes they just need time to simmer.

Sometimes an idea we were really passionate about at first doesn’t work as we thought it would and like you said it’s okay to let it go. It’s definitely not a failure, it just means it’s time to move on to the next one. Wow, 4% already down. Time sure does fly.
