I have been blogging for more than a year and writing articles for a several years, so I decided to compile a list of everything I have written. (I admit it, I love making lists)
A few things came up for me as I was doing this exercise. I remembered when I used to think (and say out loud) “I can’t write”. Those words were there before I started writing articles, then came up again in the form of “I won’t know what to blog about” when I contemplated blogging and yet again in the form of “how will I only write one sentence” when I started using Twitter. The awareness? Though the thoughts were there, I took action despite the words in my head and mouth and proved them wrong! Starting was the hardest, but once I made the leap and wrote that first article, that first blog post, I realized I could do it and it built my confidence to stretch even further!
Another awareness as I was compiling this list? I realized that my ideas for articles and blogs flow much more easily than I anticipated they would. I actually now enjoy the process of expressing my ideas, ponderings and observations in words.
Yes, I love reviewing and making lists because they bring organization to my life, but a wonderful byproduct of a review like this is the awareness it brings.
Take a few minutes to review some of your own activities.
I would love to hear what you discover!
Another great post, Stefanie! Thanks for sharing.
