Monkey in my Head

Some days blogging is hard. On these days I tend to avoid it a little. I do every other thing. I clean the kitchen. I check emails. I mindlessly scroll on social media. I learn about the history of the polynesian islands. I tell myself lines like "I'll start in 5 minutes, I promise". 

Lately I've been having this a lot and not just with blogging. Most of the things I have on my to-do list are not urgent. They don't have a deadline and if I didn't do them it would be OK. So that crazy monkey in my head distracts me and I let it.

In addition, the things on my to-do list have to do with stepping up and out more in my own life's mission. That means that resistance and the monkey are working together. They make a very formidable duo. 

I need to get back into my creative headspace. I'll start by at least substituting my procrastination with reading a book or practicing the piano. Hopefully that will help get me back in the headspace for the other art I have in my head.
