Sitting in the “meh”.

Normally I wake up jazzed to dive into my morning ritual of journaling, meditating, coffee, and an intuitive reading with some intuitively guided writing. It’s my time to just tune-in and see what comes bubbling up and out.

Not this morning. This morning something was off.

But I did as I always do…

I put on my headphones, turned on some soothing, meditative music, and opened my journal. My pen poised and ready for action and then….NOTHING! Nada. Zilch. Zip. A big blank page.

Enter the frustration, which of course didn’t help!

My one saving grace was remembering something Julia Cameron suggested in her book “The Artist’s Way”…just write. Write anything on the page even if it’s “I don’t know what to write” over and over until something comes.

THE JOURNAL ENTRY THAT HAD ME SITTING WITH THE “MEH”

Hmmm…not sure what to write about. I know that not every journal session is going to be filled with “aha” moments of clarity. But this sucks. Nothing is coming up. Hmmm.

Keep writing. It’s important to just keep the pen moving, regardless of what lands on the page. I have to remember this is my time with me so it’s not what I write that matters. What matters is that I take this time to just be here in this moment of mindfulness.

Interesting…

I’m noticing that as I’m journaling I’m feeling flat and kind of “meh”. I’m not sure if it’s the headache or what it is but I’m really feeling uninspired… like I don’t want to do…
