I started my re-read of The War of Art on New Year’s Day and it’s already made me more aware of my resistance to doing the things I want to do. Now, I just need to figure out what to do about it!
Besides The War of Art, I chose 3 other books for my New Year’s Resolution reading challenge. I’ve yet to start A Short Guide to A Long Life by David B. Agus. I’ll try to at least open that up today. I started Do More Great Work by Michael Bungay Stanier a couple of weeks ago, but it didn’t seem quite right for the holidays. Time to pick it up again.
I love the castle in the clouds in the metaphor and the subtitle
The book that did seem right for the holidays was A Blueprint for Your Castle in the Clouds by Barbara Sophia Tammes. This was the book that I chose for my resolution Improve my Mood and, I’m pleased to report, it’s working! So far, the most effective room in my castle is the Head Office where I can put any situation in files labeled with feelings to help me figure out what I’m feeling. I’ve always been more comfortable with thoughts than feelings. The file metaphor has helped me understand and label my feelings. I’m discovering new things every day!
What have you read this week that supports your 2015 projects, resolutions, or goals?
