Some days I have hundreds of ideas about what I could write about the following day. Other days I have no ideas.
Everyday I scan through my mind the moments that stand out from the day before and I try to find something I could write about. I usually come up with less than a handful and the most interesting one wins.
This scanning your day practice has been interesting.
If we get 36,000 seconds in a 10 hour day and there are only a handful of moments that stand out… what is happening in the rest of our lives?
Writing has given me a reason to assess and find something significant every single day so it doesn’t just pass me by.
If you don’t have a way to soak up the lessons and the moments from your life it might be worth considering a way to do so. Maybe it’s at the dinner table, maybe it’s a gratitude journal, or maybe it’s photography.
Life moves fast but if we stop and make a point of noticing what stands out we can make the most of the time we have .
