Getting Your Groove Back

I completed a musical two months ago. I wanted to continue with my book/CD but needed breathing space. I felt anxious about not writing, but knew better than to force the project. Instead, I used the anxious feeling to update and reorganize my workspace.

Turns out I re-energized when I organized.

Actually, organizing was an accident. It didn't happen until I emptied the filing cabinet in order to put a carpet in my office. After the carpet, I changed curtains and bought new office containers for my desk. I moved photos. I placed bright yellow flowers in a lemonade jar and set it on my desk.

I had forgotten about flowers.

That was two weeks ago. Since then, I have been writing. I completed a short story and realized my book needed to be divided into 3 downloadable booklets. My writing files have been purged. Some ideas trimmed, others blessed and released.

Organizing is a visceral, grounded process that allows ideas to flow freely. If you are feeling stuck – purge. Trim. Sort. Play music while you rearrange, and treat your Self to flowers. You’ll get your oomph back so you can move to the next step.

May you and your files dance into fall,

Aunt Dot
