Scattered thoughts equal scattered actions

Today I am all over the place. Not knowing which task to take on first. Writing, talking to friends, doing my blog, feeling pressure as I see time ticking by and I have not started anything.
Then it dawned on me that sometimes we just have to do rather than think about all we have to do, rather than projecting into a moment that isn’t even here yet. Instead of worrying about what we have to do next or what our goal for the day was, or what our dreams are we just have to savour the moment we have, take a deep breath and begin.
That’s what I am doing right now, taking a deep breath and just writing to see where I end up. My writing challenge has been going so well that I am panicking because I can see the end coming up and I’m trying to rush my characters so I can try to understand where they are trying to take me and they are pushing back, resisting me making my writing feel halted, fake and pointless. I was also writing while I was talking to someone on the phone – half listening to the person and half listening to my characters and that’s why none of them worked. Sometimes we just have to do one thing at a time to allow our brains the chance to catch up with us to focus on one thing and when we do the results are amazing.
My characters and my day so far have been trying to tell me that sometimes we just have to go with the flow and see where it goes. We can’t always be in control of everything that happens in our lives but we can be in control of how we respond to them.
My lesson today is, scattered thoughts equal scattered actions – not what I am trying to achieve today so I am focusing on being in the present moment with no expectations in order to allow myself to be open to whatever it is I am meant to be doing today.
