I Should Have… - Gina Conroy

Have you ever done something you know you shouldn’t have? When a part of you is urging you to stop, but you can’t so you continue on…

Tonight was one of those nights. When I should have been writing, I decided to check my bloglines. And after seeing close to 1000 posts unread, I decided to browse and read and comment. And check my email repeatedly though no new emails came in after nine!

It’s past midnight and I haven’t written a lick. Though today when I should have been doing the laundry or making my kids’ lunch, I was editing a friend’s chapters and revising my own.

Why is it so hard sometimes to do what is right? What is good for us? Like scrapping the healthy dinner I had planned and meeting a friend for the pizza buffet tonight?

I guess it all boils down to self-control or does it? Maybe it’s about burnout, or wanting to do our own thing, especially us moms. How many of you out there would LOVE to have a day all to yourself just to do as you wish without having to take care of anyone?

I think I feel a weekend writing get-a-way coming on soon!

From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've had a passion expressing myself through writing. Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
