A blog about...

I've been thinking for a while now that my blog needs to have a topic. And not the topic that used to be listed on top ("A blog discussing mindfulness, relationships, spirituality, and being a whole, integral individual.") Because that's not really a topic at all. It's too long.

I first thought that my blog needed to have a topic a few months ago while reading the easiest instructions for how to start a blog. I already had this blog going, but didn't have an official "this is what my blog is about" topic. I thought about it, but didn't decide on a topic or do anything about it.

Then in beginning of October I read that blogs without topics are a waste of time. And I agreed with what it said. That's not to say that you can't have a personal blog that has the topic "what I did today" or "one (really cute) picture from each day we're married." My blog just isn't one of those.

So, from now on the topic for this blog will be: awareness in relationships. Both relationships with ourselves (especially related to mindfulness and connecting with our emotions) and relationships with others. I'll probably also write a lot about perspective, as it influences our relationships.

Now the question is, what can I learn from the three month gap posts? Well, I had a decision that I needed to make, and I put it off because it was a hard decision. In retrospect, if I couldn't really have picked a "wrong" topic, as I could have just change it later. If I had realized why I was delaying the post, I could have written this post long ago and seen if it worked out back then.

So - when you're putting something off, find out why. Even if you decide not to do it yet, it will be your decision. Thoughts about this? Relationships? Blogging?
