Step away from the blog. I have purposefully been a way for a bit as I found myself in a bit of funk. I didn't want my writing to be a "have to" when I wasn't in the mood for it to be a "want to."
So here's some things I have done of late to attract some good self-energy in lieu of and in order to push away the funkiness. These are a few of the things I am stepping into...
First, out of a place of exhaustion and emptiness, I asked an acquaintance to be become an actual friend - complete with the good, bad and ugly of me. And the person said yes. I stepped toward an authentic new relationship.
Second, I immediately signed myself up for a summit that is all about inspiration and stretch. And no, it is not YMCA based. I stepped toward intellectual nourishment.
Third, I took advantage of an opportunity to meet with a group of total strangers once a week to listen, laugh, ponder and debate. For this introvert, it was scary to go. It was also incredibly refreshing. And I laughed more than I had in quite awhile. I took a step toward new support groups in unexpected places.
Finally, I'm back to walking the dogs twice a day. They like me. They don't complain or expect a dog-gone thing from me. I am stepping outside, literally.
I think I am on the right path to step back inside myself.
