I have been thinking about blogging this week and how much my attitude towards it has changed over the last few years. At first, when the ideas was presented to me, I was mortified. Journalling has always been such a private thing for me, it is where I write all my thoughts and feelings that I don't feel comfortable sharing with anyone else. The idea of sharing even some of those thoughts and feelings was scarey. So I started writing about things that I thought others would be interested in or learn from. I also thought that they had to be long and thought provoking. My entries were not exactly what I wanted to say but they were entries and that was what I had promised to produce. Lately, I have been focusing on sharing just a bit of what my week has been like, a thought that stands out or an experience that has an impact on my training. I am focusing on what I want to write/share and not what I think others want to read. It is working for me, I am not sure that I appreciated the benefits of blogging until recently. I feel like I get it now, by sharing my experiences, I might reach someone who is struggling with a similar thing, but I can't write like I have to reach someone else. It just comes out cheesy and not authentic.
Those are my thoughts for this week.
