Bare with me for a second as I begin the process of telling a story or a method…Maybe “The Forrest Method”, in know particular order, of how I Unfcked my business and ultimately my life.
I just started with a new experimental (for me) way of writing on Friday that I pretty jumbled so I imagine these new blog posts are going to morph and be edited a lot over time. I’m sorry. Actually, you’re welcome in advance for this new style of getting things on the page and cleaning them up later. Because we all know done is better than perfect and if no one has ever told you a version of this truth, you need to surround yourself with different, higher vibrating influences.
If interested, the Google doc where I am writing this new experimental form is here (link)
Why I write - How to Unfck Your Feelings
v1.1
This is a somewhat provocative question because I absolutely hated writing and reading, for that matter, in school. I can’t remember, but I doubt I finished reading a single novel for English classes until I completed high school. I have always been great at math and science and test taking is one of my genuine super powers.
I think I started writing a blog around 2010 purely as an instrument for SEO and generating more business. I didn’t even write a blog of any notice until September of 2022. But somewhere along the journey I loved the art of crafting words even if only for my own enjoyment.
There is power in the written word. Especially writing by hand in a journal or beautiful notebook. There are actually things, complete aspects of your life that you have no access to or knowledge of until you start free writing with a cup of coffee at 4:45 in the morning while the city is still asleep. To be clear, I am not asking you to set an alarm or put journaling on your schedule. If it feels right, start vomiting your thoughts and feelings onto a page and let them go.
Most of what you/I are going to write is garbage. But gold can be gleaned from the garbage, and the rest of that shit probably needed to be expelled anyway.
Although I rarely have time or have the same type of clients, I've grown to love crafting the perfect emails to clients throughout my career as an interior designer.
