Mission:

Write Regularly, Creatively & Enthusiastically

Wellness Why(s):

Primary: Intellectual

Intellectual Stimulation

the pleasurable feeling from encountering challenging, new, or interesting ideas that enhance cognitive processes like critical thinking, creativity and insight

– AI Overview

Subsidiary:

Emotional: It is proven that expressive writing can help to reduce anxiety and manage stress.

Occupational: I want to be able to look in the mirror and say, “YOU ARE A WRITER (by Jeff Goins, a writer 😉).” Food for thought; need I make money as a writer in order to qualify it as an occupation?!?

Financial: If ☝️, then 👈.

The Nuts & Bolts:

Three months ago, I referenced the ideal of regularly posting on this website. The goal was to:

• Monday Morning Coach – I need to create the Coach part of this website before this can happen.
• Idealist Tuesday – Weekly The Idealist 
• Wednesday Wellness – Weekly blog post highlighting my pursuit of well-being.
• Inspiration Thursday?
• Freaky Friday – The last Friday of each month, I will post a K.J. Off the Record short story.

If I were up against a judging panel, the result might look something like this:

If I’m judging myself…..

I was fairly consistent in posting The Idealist posts. I missed two weeks so the actual score is 11/13 or 85% (to the two judges that scored me a 2 or below, suck it!).

Including this post, I was 8/13 or 62% on Wednesday Wellness posts.

A D- is better than an F.

(you can call me Optimistic Prime)

I didn’t add a Monday Morning Coach page to the website, but I did run a parallel path in the form of sportswriting. But, only one post. 1/13 or 8%, which is an F, but not in the red!

As for Freaky Fridays or Off the Record posts on the last Friday of each month, I’m 1/3 or 33%, which is unfortunate because I have some juicy content on paper, and that much more (than I’d like to admit) rattling around in my brain libido brain libido brain!

Inspiration Thursdays didn’t happen. 0/13 or 0%.

Nor did I spend as much time writing creatively, instead of the themed posts, as I would have liked to do.

Picking myself back up from the outline of my body on the ground, I posted 4 posts that were not set in stone as a goal and Chapter 1 of a book that I’d like to publish in its entirety on the website.

All in all, the 7’s are probably fair – motivating enough to keep going, but harsh enough to call for:

revise ➡️ restate ➡️ reengage

And thus….
