I’ve been thinking about my approach to creating content for my social media platforms. The cornerstone of my output should be my blog - which I’m thinking of as my business journal. I want it to be more journal than blog because I’m sick of doing cookie-cutter posts like the “3 Tips for Organizing Your Life” dreck. My new requirement is that I have that warm, centered feeling while writing it. In order to do that, I need chill music playing (preferably Pink Floyd) and I need a bold attitude of self-confidence without negative thoughts.

Perhaps I’ve been following too much advice from social media gurus. I wonder if I should write more for myself than my audience – even though it sounds backwards. Maybe if I dig deep and share for myself, it’ll be exponentially more beneficial for readers.

I’m considering my experience of following my own All the Hats We Wear philosophy as a social experiment. Therefore, all the posts will reveal my unique experience – like a mad scientist who takes his own concoction and observes the after-effects. I’lll chronicle a life lived through the ATHWW system. Maybe I’ll compile my entries to create a memoir in the future.

A few months ago, I completed the transcendental meditation training and I’ve been meditating regularly ever since. A key concept of TM is that it must be easy and effortless. I’m taking that same no-way-to-do-it-wrong approach to my blogging. If I sense self-doubt creeping up, I focus my attention on how it feels to start meditating. Boom! You just do it the easiest way possible and you’re good! It’s empowering to have an approach in which you can only do it correctly if it’s effortless!
