What's in a name?

According to my Apple dictionary, admittedly not a definitive source, a ‘consideration’ is a thought, reflection, meditation, concern, rumination etc. I would like this blog to do those things. I’m hoping I can keep the posts positive because, as someone once reminded me, it is important to practise the habits of mind that you value and want to foster. For me those are: positivity, curiosity, openness and self-reflection (hence, a blog is a good forum).


Also, I’m calling them 'small' because I would like to try to get into the habit of blogging briefly but often. That way I can reflect on everyday occurrences and make this form of writing and thinking a habit, hopefully.

Significance

I don't know why my mind insists on adding significance to things - it's tiring. I was really excited about starting my new job so I began thinking about how this might be the next new direction for my teaching career. Then, today I'm having nerves so I worry that something will happen and the job will fall through. Something similar happens when my husband calls from interstate, or comes home for the weekend. I have to remind myself to relax and let us have a normal time together rather than making it feel important. When I get tired and headachy, suddenly my brain suspects it's a migraine. I guess I need to work on accepting that my mind does this and try to just be in the current moment - easier said than done, though.
