Holy Cow, Batman- Talk about Pressure!


The heat is on, and I'm not talking desert heat here in Arizona... I suddenly feel as if I need to turn myself inside out with creative wit, focused skill and determination,  collecting thoughts and furiously writing something that will garner the attention of Keen members. "Pick me! Pick me!"  "Read this!"

Stop! This isn't what it's all about, Alfie!

I blog for the enjoyment of writing little tid bits of insignificant meanderings, hopefully bringing a smile or a lightbulb moment to the minds of the ones that take time to read. I've done this forever.  I love writing, and sharing.

So exactly where is the pressure to excel and write something so profound and interesting that it will rank up there and be 'viewed the most' coming from?

Oh, wait. It's self-imposed. It's coming from me. I created it.  My ego created it.....Hmmmm. Which makes me realize and understand the reality is there is no pressure. If I created it, I can un-create it, too. OHHHHHHHH.... I get it. Ok, I can exhale now.

What can YOU exhale from today?

Sending you angels,
Jane


PS: I will be available for your calls today. I was at an Arizona Bike Week  show yesterday.  Little known fact about Jane: I love Harley's! Vaaaavroooommmm hummmma hummma hummma hummmma bluggggggg bluggggg, blugggg (Well, that's as close as I can get to recreating the sound of a Harley).

Build it, and they will come.

It's so funny, with blogging in particular, how caught up we can get with the comments, the tracking and the audience generation. I laughed out loud because I know each and every one of us does this. You can feel it when you start writing content thinking of how to market it, as opposed to just expressing what you need to express. That does a hatchet job on creative energy doesn't it?

So let's see...what did I exhale from? A fear of inadequacy. It's always a battle that comes and goes for me, but I notice the battles are far shorter, and come much less freqently. Yay me!

(PS...your recreating the "Harley" sound was also quite hysterical)

Happy Anniversay month Jane!

Hey, you pulled me in here simply because you made me feel what you were saying!  Good job.

I agree with you 1000%.  I used to read your personal blog before Keen established blogs.  You don't need to create anything to be provocative, intersting or profound.  You already are.  Really enjoy reading about your travels.  Happy anniversary.  Lisa
