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.

Less thinking, more being

I realised last week that I keep myself mentally on edge. It's hard to explain. So I've been trying to more fully relax into the moment. If I'm not enjoying what I'm doing, such as when I'm vacuuming or chopping meat, then I try to experience the anticipation of the good that will come from that action. Part of this new step toward being more present is also that I'm trying to be less analytical and cerebral about everyday life. That means not storing up thoughts and ideas to write about here. Therefore, I might start to write in this blog less often. I'm hopeful, though, that when I do sit down to write it will be more engaging and natural.
