Dry spells happen. Sometimes I know why and sometimes I don’t. My usual strategy if I’m just not feeling it, or if it feels like I just don’t have time, is to let go of any time goals and just sit down for a minute. A minute or two and a few deep breaths might be all that happens, or it might be just what I need to settle in.

It’s kind of like other forms of exercise, once again. When you miss a day or even a week, we tell ourselves we blew it and talk ourselves out of starting again, because we feel we’re starting from scratch. You aren’t climbing a mountain, you didn’t fall all the way down and have to start all over, you just have to start again.
