Having a few rules in place can, I think, be a good thing. Moderation is the best way to approach it. Not so many rules as you would encounter as a raw recruit in an Army boot camp, but just enough to provide you some guidance in what you plan to do on any given day.
For instance, over time I have found that I work well with a
list of things to do during the day as far as my writing and channeling
activities go. I have my journal that I’m trying to not use as much as I’ve
used in the past. Yes, it is a perfect way to try things out, to try to make my
way through uncomfortable stuff and to encourage myself with ideas and thoughts
about what I want to do as a writer.
I also have my Do-Good File where I write short entries,
presumably in the morning, every day intended to start my day off right.
Sometimes, like today I didn’t get to that part until the early afternoon, but
hey, I did get to it. That it led to me writing this piece was a good thing.
I have established a schedule for me to publish articles.
Fridays are for a short Facebook piece, much the same as anything else I would
write; just shorter. On Tuesdays and Thursdays publish on Medium and on Mondays,
Wednesday, and Fridays I publish on Substack. Today, I realized that I needed
to include blog posts for Talking to Spirit, the website I’ve had since 2001. I
just recently moved the hosting from BlueHost to Blogger which is centered
around blog posts. It serves a purpose because after having created over 500
pages of things with the old Talking to Spirit, still available on The InternetArchives, I didn’t have that much published on the new one. Right now, there
are no categories other than describing what it is like to be a psychic channel
and the actual words I channel from Spirit. I’ve picked one day so far. I will
publish on Sundays. I need another day and might go with Thursday, but time
will tell. It is enough that I figured I need to have these posts and pages scheduled.
I have a number of other writerly/spiritual oriented occupations
that I like to do on a regular basis. Some have fallen through the cracks.
So, the other stuff I’d like to include will be to get my
writer’s website up and going. That too has been shifted over to Blogger, but I
haven’t done anything yet with it.
I also want to get some books published. I will self-publish
and until I have a publisher, an editor and an agent lined up I will do all
that myself. For now. I’ve written four books already that just need some
finishing touches on them, and it’s been like cleaning the house. I’ve put off those
things as long as possible. I need to schedule some time to get started. They
all need to be edited and updated. I need to learn what is involved with the self-publishing
aspect. I need to do some research of what covers of other books on the same
sorts of topics look like and create some covers in Canva. Again, I will do
that work on my own.
I am a one-armed paper hanger.
I need a schedule.
I am also old and have had to slow down somewhat. I can’t
force myself to the same schedule I kept when I was 30 years old. I like naps.
I also like to wake up and start writing at 4 in the morning. It just depends
on how I’m sleeping. In which case, you can bet I’m going to need a nap.
I am now working on the idea that I play way too much
Mahjong on the computer. Yes, I believe it keeps me sharp, especially if I do
speed games and try to finish with as little eye movement as I can. It’s almost
mystical how I create this otherworldly space in my head where I hardly move my
eyes at all and, yet I am as sharp as a tack as I move over the board matching
the cards. I also used to tell myself that I was more entertaining when I drank
alcohol. So, the Mahjong might come under a self-delusion sort of category.
Though, I have heard of people who say they keep their minds sharp by doing
crossword puzzles, which I like to do in pen.
Somebody in Spirit just said to me, “Think of God”.
Okay, I’m game.
Slow down. Stop all the rushing about. You will do
what you will do with the day and not one iota more. It is okay to take a deep
breath to gather your thoughts. You are not Mrs. Speedy here. Just slow down.
Move softly into a garden, into a meadow of sorts and we will be there for you.
Okay. Thanks. I’m calm. If you’ve not read my stuff before,
you’ll notice the bit of bold, italicized type above. That’s how I include the
channeling in the things I write. My heart is slowing down. Ding-dong it was
beating fast.
I guess I was getting wound up. I hadn’t intended to write
this. It just sort of happened.
Hey, thanks for reading. Catch me on the other places I
write. And, do come back again.
