When preparing these weekly emails, I often have no idea what I want to write until I sit down at my computer. Sometimes my first idea doesn’t amount to much and I have to work with it a while. Other times the entire concept seems to effortlessly spill out as my fingertips tap the keyboard. I’ve gone from zero idea one moment, to full pages about the intricacies of life the next. Writing out my thoughts has not only been therapeutic, but has also reminded me how important it is to allow myself time away from distractions—television, social media, podcasts, music, alcohol, work, socializing—to just sit, think, write and see what arrives. Ironically, with the amount of distractions and busyness in my life, it takes actual effort to do nothing but think. Yet it's worth it every single time.
