Often times, when we sit down to write, we may feel inclined to think, that we have nothing to write, or we believe that we can’t think of anything to write. Right then and there, we can write down those thoughts, and get ourselves out of that malaise. Then we may ask, what then? Exactly, write that down? Keep writing, especially if we begin to think: what value is this, or this is stupid, or this is getting me nowhere. Whatever we think, we’re right, but if we want to make some progress, we’ll write down questions to further the conversation and anything else that crosses our minds.
As we write, despite our persistently stifling thoughts, we’ll begin to get a sense of our mental landscape. We can think of ourselves as documenting or reporting on the thoughts that cross our minds. We can be a witness to those thoughts as they come and go, or we can embrace them, whether they be good or bad, and make them a part of our life, without any critical evaluation. It’s been said that thoughts are universally rooted. Meaning, I suppose, thoughts are rooted in the universal fabric of this yin-yang universe. If a thought doesn’t serve us, we can pull it out, logically defend ourselves against, elaborate on it, or drown it with positive contradictions.
We can change or devise new thoughts that will get us up in the morning. We can design new ideas or use someone else’s ideas to invigorate our enthusiasm. We can actually decide to have empowering dreams that fulfill our wildest hopes.
