I’m in a Hurry (And Don’t Know Why)

I’ve had three false starts this morning, writing-wise.

I think it’s because I’m feeling scattered. I’m not grounded, centered or zen at the moment. Instead, I’m a bit chicken-with-my-head-cut-off-y.

And, while I don’t think there are many people reading this who care about false starts with their personal writing practices, I imagine that lots of you can relate to feeling scattered. Off center. Chicken-with-your-head-cut-off-y.

So I’m going to share what I’m doing.

I’m listening to Alabama’s “I’m in a Hurry (And Don’t Know Why)” on repeat.

I'm in a hurry to get things done

Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun

All I really gotta do is live and die

But I'm in a hurry and don't know why.

Over and over and over again.

Then I sing it. Over and over and over again. (Including on an interview–fortunately before the interviewer hit record.)

So yeah…that’s my solution. My high brow, Earth-shattering, “wow, isn’t she fancy?” solution.

Alabama’s “I’m in a Hurry (And Don’t Know Why)” on repeat.

But honestly–I recommend it. Listen. Then listen again. Then again. Let it sink in.

There’s gold in there.

I'm in a hurry to get things done

Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun

All I really gotta do is live and die

But I'm in a hurry and don't know why.

Wishing you an centered, grounded and un-scattered day with ZERO RUSHING,
