Not Today, But Then—Yes, Today

Today was a day that I thought I would not write, but you just have to. I want this practice in my life because I want to learn to communicate with more efficacy, because it brings a bit more clarity to my days. Some days I will write a bit more and today I will write a bit less but I will write. A couple of questions, why did you think you would not write? Also Why not just pass writing for today? I think this is a perfect opening to write about, consistency goals, and the things that really matter in life. 

I honestly have felt a bit tired in the last couple of weeks, and the load has not diminished at all and writing seems to be standing like another of those things that I am a bit tired of. I know there are a lot of changes in my future, yet I doubt that I will stop writing. If anything I will probably write a lot more. Yet that is in the future, not right now. We overlook our humanity, I tend to over commit, to people, work, dreams and goals. It does not matter how important they seem if you are not honest with yourself about how much you can actually cover in one year. I have some friends that tell me that I have already done a few more than many in my 40 years of being on this earth. Yet, I am at a point where I will certainly need to have a look to reevaluate those things that I know are very important to me. I am looking forward to it, I promise to keep you posted.

Today, I think I could have passed the day and reorganised myself to to the writing tomorrow or over the weekend and it would have been ok, But I saw I little window, just big enough to deliver a few paragraphs with efficiency, maybe not the same amount of time that I normally give to this precious task but enough to pour a bit of my time into something that  is very valuable to me. Writing is a moment to stop and reflect on the things that I am going through. Very meta writing about writing. Meditation, writing and gym are some of the activities that have brought more peace to my life, working for my soul, my mind and my body. No particular order required. Because, my brain gets a lot from going to the gym as well as my body and my soul. I am grateful that those few things are part of my week. All of them require discipline and help you to connect to the present moment as they also invite you to invest in your future. Writing today also allows me to understand that not everything has to be perfect, in the sense that the structures in place for writing do not have to be perfect, i do not need a perfect real background cafe noise and a full hour of my life to sit down to do this. Sometimes you just need to sit and flow.

Even though I have many ideas and thoughts all the time, having the gift of being able to give shape and order to even the smallest portion of my brain is still worthwhile. So thank you for the opportunity that I built through discipline, that nurtured me to have the skill to write  some of the ideas I had in mind more quickly and also organise some kind of structure to bring to life this blog this week. Thank you for always granting me to find more and more trust in myself. It is a full circle that I created a long time ago and now connects us. What you practice, creates discipline and trust. Trust and discipline that today allows me write a bit for you. 

Gracias for reading,
Pedro
