Season 2, Episode 2 of my podcast is here: ReWrite It

This one started in my journal.

I was about 40 minutes into my morning journaling and had decided to write affirmations on this day. Not trying to force anything. Instead, to welcome everything. It was an invitation. And in the midst of this I heard: write a new script. So that’s what this podcast episode became. I recorded it that morning right after I finished journaling.

There is something that stopped me cold when I first heard it over 10 years ago - and it still does something to me in a shiver want-to-shake-it-off-of-me kind of way: we think around 70,000 thoughts a day, and 90% of them are the same ones we thought yesterday. When I first heard this it rattled me. And, if it were to be the case and true, I never wanted this to be me for another day in life. I thought this then, when I first heard it, and I thought it now when I recorded this episode…when it came to mind again. - A literal hamster wheel. Nothing new. Nothing actually changing. Just the same program running quietly in the background, the way the internet is always there whether we log on or not. No thank you, I’ll pass, please yield.

An unmanaged idle mind doesn’t rest. It just repeats.

In this episode I talk about what it can actually look like to take the wheel. Not just “think positive,” but become the captain of our own ship. I talk about the power of pen to paper. Why writing, real writing, our hand, a paper, our own words, does something that thinking alone can not always do. And how creation, real creation, starts with the first inkling of a thought, long before anything shows up in our material world.

“ReWrite It”- Episode 2, Season 2. Listen here…

Then. Write a new script. Literally. Get a pad. A pencil. A pen. A Sharpie. A crayon. Whatever you’ve got. And just go for it. See what it brings.

This one is for the intentional creators. The ones who are ready to stop recycling yesterday’s thoughts and start building something new.

This episode was released on Easter because…because some things really are written.

Happy listening.
