Flawsome - An individual who embraces their flaws and knows they are awesome regardless.

I post every day. Every. Single. Day. Sometimes people will even say to me “Daily, that is awesome!”. I accept their acknowledgement, then might say, “thank you for that, and I’d really say I’m flawsome”.

You see, I sometimes find it hard to write every day, but I embrace those flaws, those imperfections, and keep writing. I give myself permission to be “flawsome”, and through that, I have given myself some tools and methods for times when it feels challenging to be a) inspired, b) creative, c) energised, d) any other than slothful or e) a combination of all and more! So, I have some supporting ideas and methods:

  • Curating. Sometimes I ask someone to create something to share on the blog, or “cultivated curation”. Other times, though, when I lack inspiration on any day, one “get out” is to read through writings of favourite thinkers and writers and simply fill that days’ post with a “rip and read”
  • Short can be quick. Sometimes I post something very short with a single thought (I notice Seth Godin often does that in his daily posts. He also never uses an image, so that keeps his process even simpler)
  • Lists of Ideas. Evernote is great for this, I write down my ideas in notes, then I come back to them…
