Blogging and Creativity (Part 3)
By now, you can see some of the reasons why I encourage my clients to begin some type of journal during the coaching process. I also hope that you have discovered some reasons for combining blogging with your creativity. Remember that I am a very creative person, with ideas ready to pop out of my head at almost anytime of the day or night. For me, it isn’t a challenge to write a journal entry. The challenge is learning to pace myself as I start to problem-solve, dialogue or explore a topic in my journal. I still want instant answers, but sometimes that is too unrealistic a goal. I’m sure that my attraction to journaling at some level is that it brings balance and pacing into my life. It challenges my impatience on a regular basis. It also is a very safe place for me to practice expressing myself in ways that might not be appropriate in regular conversation and it never tires of hearing my whining, complaining and watching me doodle while I’m waiting for a sense of readiness to write.
