Testing myself.

No run, so I’m organizing and simplifying.  Everything, yes… everything. Paris, less than six months away.  Having that be the anchor for many things. Having lunch at my desk, which I rarely do.  Meeting with my Director at 13:00, so some time freed by not running.  Staying with it – THIS.  This practice and vision,…

Measured moves.

That’s the idea today.No unusual pressure, no unruly tyranny over myself. Pace, ease—that is composition.I moved something on my calendar, and the day opened instead of closing.No more fixation on STOP, but on awareness, on sight. As a sales trainer, I notice the difference immediately. When I force, they feel it. When I measure, they…

What if I couldn’t write? What if I took that away? What would I create? What I’m forcing myself to think….  Waking from the nap today, thinking “Not that want to stop anything, but deciding to devote more to me, invest more in character… test myself in all the ways.” So, take away writing. Write…

Shredded a large tower of papers I’d had for, I want to say over a year.

Feel so light now.  Free.  Unencumbered. A little after three.  What to do… not sure how long the Nurse will be at work. Thinking of writing offsite somewhere.  Just watch the characters around me, see what they say, what they talk about. Arranging thoughts, slowing myself down.  Like putting the unneeded thoughts in their own…

from the book…

That’s a maelstrom I don’t want to be caught up in.  Only leading to self-doubt. A low self-estimation which only holds you in place.  So… STOP. The content Storm, ideas and more ideas… anything is a STORY.  Not just fucking “content”.  To be honest for the longest time I hated that word.  But now, meh. …

Between thought and action…. Between impulse and response.

Between who you’ve been and what you might choose next. And in that gap… you get a say. That’s everything. Before, it was immediate. Thought comes in, reaction follows. No space, no question, no pause. Just a seamless chain that felt like identity. “This is just who I am.” But awareness interrupts that story. It…

Notes for next week’s speech…

The Consumer Sales Trainer role… lab…. Story. And that’s what this is, with the sharpest and most radiant and reverberant of candor. A Story. Writing with the Reps.  And in such a way that I am taught, I’m learning right there, with them, for them, about them. The anchor, if anything in the PowerPoint slide…

A Friday Decide

Starting the day after taking Nurse to her Fairfield campus. Ordering my own thoughts to not so much deviate but take different, more creative and useful course.  Mindful, aware, a new curriculum for this day and all approaching. Quick exchange with VP this morning on focus – singularizing and consolidating, not leaving the project you…
