A week into this whole daily blogging thing, and I can already see the truth in what others said about the practice.
It makes you look at the experiences you had each day through a new lens. I have been channeling the emotions that coursed through me that day into my writing, which is both cathartic and empowering, even if no one but me is reading it right now.
Even more importantly, it’s something that has to be done. I’ve made this commitment to myself, but I have a pretty strong history of blowing off those kind of commitments. However, in this public venue, one I hope will someday find an audience, I’m accountable to the future version of myself. The version I want to be, who does all the things I know I should do. One of those things was blogging daily. Being successful at it inspires me to believe I can build the other habits I want to; the habits I need to accomplish my dreams.
Talk to you tomorrow.
