Gathering thoughts


I try to collect little thoughts that I may have; musings I suppose. I tend to write them everywhere, books I'm reading, notes on my phone, scraps of paper, on different apps, my diary. I often stumble upon a scribble every so often randomly and struggle to make sense of it! I have a special interest in gathering thoughts around connections and relationships. Over the last 6 months, I have been adding to this notebook, collating my scraps of paper and navigating my way through my apps, (there are about 20 pages now!) I've tried to spin them into questions that could be posed to clients, or anyone really, on how to reflect (individually and collectively) on relationship dynamics.

I'm not into resolutions, and definitely won't be making any this year...except to make sure I pass my first Doctorate year! But I think I will try to be more mindful to write down these thoughts in this notebook from now on. It may happen, it may not! Maybe I'll do something with them, maybe I won't! The fact that they're in the notebook is all that counts right now!

I also wanted to add in a book. As a visual learner and someone who finds metaphors really insightful and helpful. This little book by @thichnhathanhsangha is invaluable
