Daily writing is not to come up with something brilliant each day. It's to move energy. Momentum from movement.

I know myself well. Go too long between publishing and I find that my thoughts log jammed. The energy isn't flowing through me. Then my thoughts get too far down the road. If I were to write from that place without context it sounds a bit like I am speaking from the midpoint of a conversation rather than at the beginning. It's confusing. To me and anyone else who braves my words after a long hiatus.

Daily writing is a beautiful pressure release of my pent up thoughts. A sort of energetic muscle building for being able to share what is within me in small, doable doses. Building that muscle is essential to overcome the nervous system patterning of fear, overwhelm, hesitation, procrastination, etc.

Put simply; without daily writing, I become too full of the bigness within me and it feels too large to manage and too risky to share. The daily act of writing and sharing allows what is within me a safe escape. It's generative. The momentum builds upon itself. And it breaks down my resistance to it.

All of which I find incredibly useful. It is the act and not the result that I find most beneficial.

Just a note to self to remind me of the point of a daily writing practice. Carry on.
