One Apple A Day #991 - own the struggle
I can't push it.
Believe me, I tried.
Like many other mornings before this one, I sat for minutes before an empty page, desperately trying to force any idea out of my head.
I don't want to lose the rhythm now that I started again.
So I squeeze my mind, I use some of the tricks that usually work.
Not this time, though.
Yet, skipping this morning is not an option.
If I want to get back into my rhythm and flow again, I know I must show up even on days like this when I'm not inspired.
It's not easy because I promised myself to publish whatever I write during this practice. That also means the outcome of days like this, when my words are not inspired, and I would prefer to keep them for myself.
But over the many years that I've been doing this practice, I've learned that to write the good apples, I must embrace the not so good ones.
