It’s Sunday Stream of Consciousness – thanks to Kenya G. Johnson at Here’s the thing… and All Things Fadra, the host of the Sunday SOC.
I’ve never done this before, so if after 5 mintues I’ve written nothing of importance, forgive me. BUT, if it’s pure genius, well then, you can thank me. *smile/wink* Okay, here goes…
It’s 4:55pm and I’m sitting in Wild Cherries Coffee Shop. I had to get out of the house because I couldn’t concentrate or focus. I’ve worked from home before while my husband watches the boys and I hole myself up in our home office / guest room. But I get distracted. I know the boys are just on the other side of that hollow wood door. I can hear their laughter and I want to go out and see what’s so funny. I hear their cries and I want to go out and help. I recently found out (well, I kind of always knew this about myself but never really had a logical explanation or way to explain it to anyone else) that I am super sensitive to energy. Not energy from the gas company or anything like that. Energy from people. I was at a networking event and there was a woman who did hand readings. She wasn’t that psychic, gypsy, I can tell you the future kind of woman (although I have nothing personal against those people). She took my hand, looked at it and immediately saw these rare lines just below where my fingers attach to the palm. I forget what she called it, the something something venus lines – I think. Anyway, when she was describing what that meant, I was completely in awe because now I could actually “show” someone my super powers – ha! It’s good and bad. I choose the good.
Okay, well that was exactly 5 minutes of non-edited, un-scripted writing. Hmmm, it’s hard to stop at 5 minutes! And now that I am re-reading the “instructions” I see that I completely ignored the prompt of what to write about. Oops. Sorry. Maybe next time I won’t be so in a hurry to get a blog post done – yeah, probably not.
Alright, I’m rambling… See ya later folks! 🙂
P.S. if you want to try the 5 min SOC – here are the rules. Have FUN!
It’s five minutes of your time and a brain dump. Want to try it? Here are the rules…
- Set a timer and write for 5 minutes.
- Write an intro to the post if you want but don’t edit the post. No proofreading or spellchecking. This is writing in the raw.
- Publish it somewhere. Anywhere. The back door to your blog if you want. But make it accessible.
- Add the Stream of Consciousness Sunday badge to your post.
- Link up your post.
- Visit your fellow bloggers and show some love.
LOL! Well great job! I want to know more about the super energy. I only go look at the prompt if I don’t have anything on my mind to brain dump about. So some of mine followed the prompt and some didn’t. It’s a good exercise.
Ok, well I don’t feel so bad now. HA!
It was a great exercise, and I’ll have to do it more.
Oh, and “super energy” yes, sorry. I have to do some more research on what exactly that line in my hand was called and what it really means, but I have known (self-awareness) for a while that I am just extra sensitive to people’s energy. I think that’s probably why I could never let my kids cry it out, or even when they’re upset now I get upset, and when I get mad at them and yell, I feel soooo horrible after.
But, it’s also a good thing, because I have learned to share my positive energy – and sometimes I can even feel it going through me into my kids. I feel it with my breath (learned that through yoga & hypnobirthing).
Anyway, hope I’m not boring you to death… 🙂
Thanks for stopping by my page today and commenting 🙂
This looks like a fun idea, I may have to try it out. But…stopping at 5 minutes, well…
Oh you’re welcome. I always enjoy finding new blogs to read, especially great ones!
And yes, 5 minutes – it WAS hard to stop! 🙂
I’ve done something similar and it’s amazing what you end up with sometimes. Good exercise. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve done a similar exercise. It’s sometimes MORE than amazing what you come up with. Good idea for everyone. Thanks for sharing.
I think I need to start doing that more often! 🙂
