I have been meaning to catch up with you all for over 6 months now. Not in a ''...Oh God, I have to do this...'' way, but in a ''...I am longing to find the time to write...''. And there is the key! Why do we not spend more time doing the things we love? Especially when the can be so beneficial to us in so many ways.
Take writing this blog, for example. Now, I love writing. I have done since I was old enough to pick up a pencil. I write every day, even if most of the time it is just 'To Do' lists! For the last few years I have been running my own business, first for therapy and then for real. Writing is not only just something I love to do, but it is something that can really help my business. In the day where social media is king, for the small business, Twitter, Facebook and blogging is the equivalent of TV ads. So why do I not do it more often? What could possibly be more important than self-promotion, particularly when it involves using a talent a love using so much?
We all do it. We all put off doing things, believing that other tasks or yet another cup of coffee is more important. We delay things, thinking that there is still plenty of time to do them. And yet doing something we love can improve our health and our mood for the rest of the day. And it's an added extra if it benefits our business, too!
I must admit to cheating now. I am using my smart phone a lot these days, to set alarms with reminders to do certain daily tasks, like tweeting or setting events on facebook or emailing promotions. It looks like blogging will be added to the list!
