3 Positive ways to add Heart to your writing ~ Heart Centered Blogging

“Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.”  ~William Wordsworth

As a writer and blogger, I often feel like there is a deadline somewhere I need reach successfully. In the beginning when I began to take my writing seriously, I often would write for the sake of writing, for the sake of a deadline. I have to admit those were my worst articles ever! Those articles would be so technical and cold.

When I was in the 8th grade, my English professor would often kick me out of class for being way too talkitive. I’ve mentioned before, my nickname all through high school was chatterbox ;) I loved it too! Although I was never really in class during my english lectures, I scored the highest in my english exams.

Then, ahem..life happened :) I grew up, I experienced the world, I understood the world, I understood myself and most of all I realized, NOTHING that I had so meticulously planned worked out. The only part of that plan, that actually did work out….”be happy”. Ironically the only reason I became happy was because I let my plan go. Being stuck with plans is really not my thing. If there isnt one new thing added to my ‘today’ as compared to my ‘yesterday’ I know I’m stuck in my boring comfort zone. Continue reading

5 Steps to Accepting the Beauty of Change

Special Note: Today I have the pleasure of introducing you to an exceptional writer and my dear friend Paige Burkes. Do enjoy her beautiful words here and show her some love in the comments below. More about Paige below the article. Enjoy! Love, Zeenat~

The only constant is change.

As much as we know this to be true, we resist it at every turn.

Our egos cling to the way things are and have been, creating fears around anything different.  This creates the presumption that anything other than what we already know can’t be good.  How absurd!

What do you do when life throws you a zinger?  Do you panic and resist and hope that the change isn’t really happening? Do you go into a tailspin of hopelessness and depression?  Or do you accept that the change is part of the ebb and flow of life? Continue reading
