The Difference

Writing

My blog goals were to: improve typing skills, increase accountability, record my journey to find a job in my field of art and education. A major disconnect occurred when I stopped writing. I 'got busy' when I started working again full time and stopped writing. I stopped doing what was an incredibly important part of this process of discovering not only what I wanted to do, but what I needed to do in order to accomplish my goals. So! My new and immediate goal, that was thankfully kickstarted by the motivation of hearing about the #500words project, is to write with tenacity and dedication this year. I want to write about what I do and learn and the people I meet. I want to write every day. Even if it is only a sentence...or a quote... that will be the difference between this year and last. And I hope that it will seep into my daily life and make me not only a better person, but one more motivated to accomplish what I say I am going to do.

Motivation

The most important thing always, is to just take a step to get started. But it can also help to read encouraging words of others. Here's a great article on motivating to write every day, if that's what you want to do but are feeling stressed and uninspired. Ten Tips for Daily Writing.

School starts again in a week and I could get a lot accomplished in that time if I can be more efficient and organized. So maybe I will try and focus on continuing to make a habit of writing, about successes and failures, memories and thoughts, and document where my head is at, and what I can do to make this year better than last. Peace and Love!
