The Start…
I am a personal development/transformational/mindset coach. Among other things, it is my job to help others set goals for themselves and stay accountable, and yet, I don't like making goals for myself. I fear the shame and failure of incompletion will outweigh the fact that I tried, and through trying, I probably accomplished something.
So here I am writing a blog post a day for an entire year because some guy read a book written by some other guy saying that this would be a good challenge. Why a blog post? To be honest, it was the option that made me cringe the least. The options were to do any of the following for a year: post on social media, go live on social media, start a podcast, or write a blog. I am not really one who likes to video myself so that takes out the first three, and thus, I am left with writing a blog everyday for a year.
And if I “fail”, I recognize that there may be shame, but I will have at least written this one blog (hopefully more).
After reflecting upon why I chose blog, I started to realize that this actually feels decently natural for me. I used to love writing, and it is a great way to cultivate and express my creativity. I like telling stories, I think it will be fascinating to see the evolution of my writing and thought, and I want to push myself to be vulnerable here with you. I look forward to continuing this journey to 365 days of blogging.
