It has been a 5 year hiatus since I blogged. I reread some of my old postings and there is a rush of memory and a sense of resolution and accomplishment. While writing is difficult for me, it helps me to work through my thoughts. Now, I want to make time and space to develop issues that have built up over the last few years. I have tried mediation, and therapy sessions. Mediation is hard, and I don't get a sense of progress and accomplishment to sustain the effort. Therapy is helpful but not frequent enough to work through all the issues that come up at irregular intervals. Restarting journeying will be my method to guide myself through my current challenges.
The measurable indicator is to blog every week day until the end of year. The real objective is to build a habit of self-awareness and self-care. Ultimately, my goal is to rediscover my voice and confidence. My lifelong humbleness has gotten in the way of my personal and professional development.
There are 3 key steps from now to the end of year. First, I will write every weekday and just as importantly, not write on weekends. Whether it's a longer piece or a very short piece to jot down my feelings. Second, to be honest and vulnerable. This will be a place where I can ask myself questions, work through my conflicting and circling thoughts, and acknowledge that my thoughts and feelings matter. I will try to avoid the temptation of AI. Lastly, I invite any readers to respectfully comment, ask questions, or suggest topics. While the journey of self-awareness and self care is only done in one's mind, some companionship from others taking this path and guidance from others that have traveled here already is always appreciated.
