Think before you speak/post

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Silence is a powerful tool. Not everything you say needs to be said or shared with the world. The need to know in this case is a need to not know. There are times when it is best to keep things to yourself. Think before you speak or post. I cringe when I hear people discussing things that go into the TMI- Too Much Information – territory.

I read something today which fell in the TMI territory. And this is not the first time this person has shared too much or said something that was not cool.

They need to learn and obey the saying ‘silence is golden’. Sigh. Somehow with their history I don’t see that happening.

Thinking Zone

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Another of my favorite things to do when I am trying to decide something is to think. I again go to one of my spots I like to use to think – my living room. My loveseat in my living room to be exact. I use my couch to daydream and my loveseat to think. I get my blanket, go to my living room, turn off the lights and TV put on some music really low then sit on my loveseat. I spread my blanket over me and lay my head back. My body relaxes as the music plays and the calm overcomes me. After a few moments I am in the thinking zone.

As I sit there my thoughts turn to what I have to think about. I’ve made lots of important decisions during my thinking zone moments. Both personal and professionally. I work through the pros and cons of whatever decision I am trying to make. According to the decisions it may take a few times in my thinking zone for me to make a decision or choice.

A few weeks ago I had a difficult decision to make and spent over a week in my thinking zone before I reached a decision. Now that the decision is made I feel much better and have a clearer mind what I need to do. It will be sometime before I know what will happen from my decision but no matter what I am good with it.
