I’m feeling quite ‘perky’ today, rarin’ to go on my writing, and eager to check the Net for new and interesting writing on Midlife Reinvention.

Contrast this with yesterday, Funk Day. First, there was heavy cloud cover yesterday, never my most energetic of circumstances to begin with.

Also, my gremlins were having a party about something, and now I can’t even remember what. Inconsequential, really. I just remember that I had no enthusiasm for writing. What matters is that I got conscious of the slump I was in, as opposed to overriding it. Then I could make a priority of working my way out of it, in my thinking, rather than forcing my writing, which never works.

I recognized the signals immediately: my low energy and malaise. Then I ‘talked my way up’ to a better feeling place, by exploring other perspectives, and it worked! The result: tremendous insights and freed-up energy.

Today, my writing is flowing. Feels good.
