Pushing through the page. When flow isn’t being met by the expectations fed by adventure. Pushing through the page. Instead of walking away, the push is to remain. To be present. To locate the lack of flow and study the cause of the blockage. Creative minds aren’t the only travelers that deal with this moment of truth. You feel as if nothings moving. You’re standing there with all kinds of emotions. But nothings flowing. Is it because every day feels like every day? A series and system of habits. Everything’s laid out like pillows on a bed. I’m supposed to feel this way that this time. This is when my mood will change. I’ll take the dog for a walk at this time and I will feel this. We are in the same frame of mind. It’s not just me! I see it in you! I daily write at the same time every morning. I constantly blame it on the clock. I need to be here by such and such time or the flow of my day will become damaged. How do you get through this? You’ve got to call yourself out. Be upfront with your inner laziness. Through awareness make your moment a movement and not a stalemate in chess. There’s a cause to every effect. Pushing through the page invites process as it churns into progress. I was shocked to read that the CEO of Morgan Stanley has ordered employees to be back at work 100% by September 2021. Shocked because I thought we had evolved into a new generation of workplace doers. Pushing through the page in the home office was new age. LinkedIn posted a story about presenteeism. According to my computer dictionary it’s not even a word. Yet what it represents is very real. Presenteeism is being physically in a chair at work to appear dedicated. Pushing through the page. When flow isn’t being met by the expectations fed by adventure. If you thought the pandemic was a setback the darker side of this journey through time is yet to be born. Rent is due, food and gas prices are soaring, every day there’s a new Covid variant and your boss is promoting presenteeism. Pushing through the page. You are the owner and CEO of Me Inc. Winning is a choice.
