I have noticed that I lose my normal sense of structure during the summer. For example, I haven’t written a blog post since July. September starts the new school year and it is a start of a new year for me too. My intention is to continue writing my blog.
My mother always said that I was a good writer. I used to enjoy putting pen to paper but somewhere along the way I lost faith in my ability. Perhaps I procrastinated because planning was tough. Or maybe because there was a bit of perfectionism? It always was difficult to initiate the first sentence but I couldn’t put my finger on the reason for my resistance.
I am older and wiser now and I have more confidence. I can challenge myself and not be afraid of failing. Becoming a coach has given me a better foundation and a good education about working towards a goal. My objective is to write more so it becomes a habit.
Summer is not an excuse. Summer did get in the way of writing my blog. I accept that and I am fine with it. I am ready to move forward and stretch myself. It’s September now and I am ready to return to a more structured environment. The transition to autumn has begun!
