Resistance

"Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance."
Steven Pressfield
I came across this quote the other day while reading a posting from a fellow blogger. She has been writing and posting a novel over the last several months that is extremely good. She began writing in November when she took on the challenge of writing a novel in thirty days, and it has evolved into a creative undertaking that she is now wanting to publish
The quote above is from Steven Pressfield's The War of Art. After reading these words I felt they described kind of where I am right now. I've got so many ideas and plans, and yet I can't seem to make a move. I've been perplexed as to why I've been so unmotivated, and have tried to blame it on the weather, however I think that is just an excuse.
What I love about having creative friends is the inspiration they bring. My blogging friend is hard at work editing and revising her mystery story getting it ready for publication. I can't help but cheer her on, and feel motivated to push beyond the Resistance myself.
Creativity Suggestion
Bullet Journal-
If you are curious about Bullet Journals they are all the rage on the internet. Search on You Tube and Pinterest, and you will find all sorts of ideas. I don’t use my bullet journal as a planner, but rather as a way to record my year. I recently purchased a dotted grid journal and I LOVE it. I’ve always been intimidated by the blank page, and the dots give me just enough structure to make it enjoyable. I’m including favorite quotes, books I’ve read, tracking my walks, and a list of my blog posts just to name a few. Maybe Bullet Journaling is just what you need to kick your creativity back in gear.
