Brain Dumping 1.6: Creative names, simple realities and social commitment

I received an email from an individual in my network that expressed interest in both my services and my courage to let this “stream of consciousness” reach the public after I included some in a mass mail-out. This individual has been practicing a similar action for quite some time that is referred to as “morning pages”.

What I am driving towards with increasing regularity as I continue to dig through the barrage of self-talk and ego that stands in my way is a picture of simplicity and ease.

This picture is available for all to see and play with but has been wrapped in so many packages and described with so many names that it is increasingly lost to us. The funnier reality is that even in my attempts to boil it down to its simplest form for people I will still be putting my spin and perspective on it!

But this is why I turn to the social media world and the internet.

The need to brand and niche-ify yourself become (I hope) less critical when you have the ability to simply reach those that hear your plain-speak. I don’t want to dress-up or down what I am offering to myself and my community (globally and locally) but I also want to make sure that my message gets out.

Seth Godin speaks of the ability to create movements and form tribes and as I glance up at my clock to see how much time I have left for this ‘dig and dump’ I wonder how long it will take to have mine?

I wonder how long it will be before my mini-documentary on perfecting posture and movement will be completed. How long will it be until I can be on Oprah, Ellen, Letterman, Conan, CBC, The Hour, The Mercer Report, the BBC and beyond, spreading my simple message of movement, nourishment and mental, emotional and social engagement?

I want to harness star power to promote this message, create something simple enough for everyone to grasp and use and discuss and live out my days meeting people, families, groups, associations and organizations and re-connecting them with themselves so they can reach a success in work, life and play that allows them to truly find and live their dreams.

With maybe 1 minute left I want to touch on social commitment.

I didn’t write or post yesterday and I felt the worse for it. I tried to approach the feeling with no judgment and I felt as though I had missed the chance to feel something that day that I like to feel.

Commit to your change, commit to your choices and share in your commitment and find support in the support and in the silence.
