Recently I went to a thrift store and bought three summery blouses for five dollars a piece. They were soft and well-made. I met some nice people, got a little exercise and donated a few cents to a charity. Strangely freeing. When working with stories, I sometimes resist trying on new things: different voices, points of view, characters. Shifting can feel temporarily uncomfortable. But when I return to the story some time later, I see how even micro-adjustments can produce big benefits.
I'm reading a little book about this topic: One Small Step Can Change Your Life by Robert Maurer. Simple concept. Gentle change. And fun!
What metaphorical clothing might you want to try on today? What happens to when you choose a direction, suspend questioning, and just go?
