Still taking micro-action

Quite honestly, I haven't felt like taking micro-actions toward some of my 'terricitifying'* goals in the last 24-36 hours.  I think part of this is because of true priorities and obligations.  I do say part since I know some of the distractions have been fear/overwhelm paralysis.

Feelings are not facts.  Feelings are a side effect of thoughts, whether conscious or subconscious.  Those thoughts are based on perception and experiences and core belief.  So, I guess I have to examine what my thoughts are . . . *HUGE SIGH* . . . and what may be contributing to those particular thoughts . . . which seems like a distraction and further procrastination. And now here I am writing another blog post about what seems like nothing but might actually be something.

Which brings me to Jenny Lawson, author of 'Furiously Happy' and 'You Are Here', the latter of which I began reading a few minutes ago as a diversion from working on something else. LAUGH OUT LOUD funny! Nearly pee-my-pants funny. What is exciting and frustrating and inspiring is I think I could both write and illustrate a book almost exactly like this.  Why haven't I? Should I start now? Why not?  My why not list is probably huge . . . and includes: This would be a waste of time. What would be the benefit? Lawson has already done it. My drawings wouldn't be like hers. (Duh. They'd be like mine, doofus.) Stop calling yourself names and stop discrediting or considering the worthlessness of your creativity. Maybe it is just an experiment. Yes, but shouldn't I be doing something that is more productive or effective or at least unique? Stop shoulding all over yourself. Being whimsical or free spirited and not producing is not inherently bad. You don't have to make money with every output and effort. Give yourself some grace and space. 

Yes, I just had my internal dialogue out blogloud. Yes, I just made up the word blogloud.  Basically, it means I didn't say it out loud yet I wrote it and am intending to publish to the internetworld which is 'out loud' in public airspace. Right? Who knows.

Microactions taken regardless of not feeling like it:
*blogging something, i.e. writing and getting stuff out of my head
*researched a few materials for a project idea I really want to see become fruitful (its been in progress or on the shelf for 2+ years)
*took an extra/last minute dog-sitting job to make a little extra money
*ordered some materials for said project idea (!!!!!)

I don't even want to publish this because it is a brain spasm in typed form, but my friend Coach Des Ahrens says JUST PRESS PUBLISH. Okeeeeee.

*Terricitifying word credit goes to Coach Allegra Stein. It fits.
