I’ve been having difficulty finding the time to blog. My coach challenged me that it might not be something I’m truly committed to. That got me to really evaluate the “blogging blocks” I’ve encountered and, yes, imposed on myself.

I had the notion that I could only make the time if I had the luxury of time – I didn’t see smaller chunks of time as valuable. The old perfectionist UAC rearing her head. Funny thing is as we were discussing this, it occurred to me that I had just had the very same conversation with my external client a couple of days earlier.

She was experiencing resistance allowing herself to relax and recharge if she didn’t have a full two days in a row to do so. I challenged her that it was more the “quality” of her down time rather than the “quantity”.

As I find is often the case with this coaching thing, I heard my own words resonating back to me – “it’s the quality of your time, not the quantity”. I can blog just as easily, probably more concisely, in a half-hour at lunchtime than if I had an entire afternoon dedicated to it.

So, I committed to giving it a try. I’m working it out here on my ICA blog before I take it public on The Balance Blog. I intend to use my public blog as a e-newsletter of sorts and the other UAC that came up was that, perhaps I didn’t have anything of interest to say. Now, honestly I always have something to say (just ask Ray)! And yes, it is usually interesting or thought-provoking, or even sometimes profound. So I will work through the writer’s block here as well.

To answer my coach’s challenge – yes blogging is something I am committed to doing on a regular basis as part of my practice building toolbox. The thing is, I can visualize myself sitting in my favorite internet cafe, clicking away on my keyboard as I reach out on my blog (kinda like I’m doing right now, huh!). And I have always manifested what I have so clearly envisioned.

Catch ya in the blogsphere,
