Inward MuZen – Post Six
A.S.K. Attitude is where it starts, and the needed attitude is already present. And if it’s not, decide it to be. This practice is a Skill, and from it – KNOWLEDGE. You learn. Even in the face of negative forces. Whatever you’re going through. You could be in a hostile work environment, or some other…
a freewrite…
Sitting in this booth that I often write in. This Monday, I felt no self-doubt, no second-guessing of SELF. Why? A simple decision. That’s honestly it. And, more awareness and sight and understanding of what this day’s Mike Madigan brings with it. Coffee and composition, taking a new Rep (Inside Sales) out to lunch, Texanita…

A Different Detach At lash place with the Nurse. In a cozy sofa-like chair. I don’t know if this is fake leather, or what… but it’s cozy. And I have some time to collect. When back at the house, one meeting, then I think I’m done for the day. But don’t want to hex the…
When the Universe smiles at you…
You smile back. Show gratitude, enjoy it and study why you’re smiling. And, maybe why this was selected to occur now. Do I believe in coincidence? Yes, I think… Do I believe in something beyond all this planning events, or putting me in front of people at a certain time so they can say things…
After Ops meeting, I’m even more intent on getting this writer more organized. Simplified.
No run at lunch. Going forward, workouts are either before or after “shift”. Messaged Nurse…. She’s busy at work. Crazy commute for her as well, taking her nearly an hour to reach NB. Said there was a police chase that ended in a crash, and the suspect stabbed a dog…? AND, the perp is now…
JOURNAL LOFT ZEN, a class on writing and YOU…
April 6th, 2026 – EXERCISE/PROMPT Start by writing. Don’t care about what. Meaning, concern yourself with the act, rather than the actual, the actual words that find the page. Give yourself five minutes… What did you put to page? What does it suggest about you, what you want? The journal is a place to study…
On the floor writing while the Nurse readies for a night at one of our spots, with two of her nurse friends, ML & NS.
Easy day, not too many demands from the sales world, sales life, notes or to-do’s for next week. How did I find myself here? Well, I know. And by here I mean at Sonic. I’d always wanted to come back… why did I leave.. the thoughts get tangled and I know there’s not really any…
Getting the ASBC project off the ground. Call earlier, now just have to make some small business contacts. Rewriting the day’s agenda, in a second.
No run today, again. Too much to do… One project, then another. No more new ones, I swear…. Like my head is spinning and the mind is desperate to escape itself. Was talking with a guy from another department, Logistics I think, in the break room a minute ago, telling me he’s rowing during the…
Change in the company, and there is a new Story for me…. Coffee, sound of an airplane over our Vacaville home.
Caring for SELF, in a new way. Email account having issues, and I’m refusing to let it do anything to my mood. Coffee…. The book. Work tomorrow, in the office, build more of the Story of a Consumer Sales Trainer. The notes and lessons, how it extends out of the role itself— Nothing to write…
Back from lunch with Nurse.
Article posted on bottledaux.com, with the intention and vision of turning the site into a SELF-Care content agency. Quite honestly, I had the idea this morning at Peet’s getting coffee with the Nurse and have been haunted by it before that so this morning I decided to write. Part of it, to be honest, was…
WFH. 08:52…. Dominant idea for week, OWN. From the Onus idea and stress throughout my teaching “career”.
Just got back from coffee with Nurse. Talking about the weekend we just had, how we needed it, and while her and I offered thoughts and insights and reflections, I thought about organizing the day, where I start writing. The book, not done in the next 8 days, I can almost assure. So.. stay here…
