The power of novelty (93/100)

I have been meditating almost every morning for the past three weeks. I didn't write about it because I've found that writing about my good intentions often jinxes me and I don't continue with the beneficial exercise – but that's another issue. Last week, during some of my meditations I found myself anticipating or reciting the guiding instructions, finding them boring. Then this morning I felt frustrated with the predictable vocal interruptions. I've obviously been using the same app for too long. So when I finished this morning's session, I downloaded two new guided meditations. Now I'm looking forward to tomorrow's session when I get to try one of them out.

Similarly, my blog writing has been rejuvenated by novelty. I am currently writing these blog posts by hand at some point during the day. This is better than composing them on the computer right before bed. I do it when I'm motivated, not necessarily in front of my computer, so it doesn't feel like a chore. Also, the act of writing and editing by hand accesses a different flow of thoughts and words.

Have you noticed any difference in the posts from the last week or two?
