stuck

Whenever I get stuck I put on my shoes. I know, it sounds strange, but it’s the only step I know to do to get me moving, mentally and physically. Because I stay home during the day it can be easy to be lazy and not getting anything done. It can be easy to distract myself with all of things except to keep my butt in the chair to write. It’s almost as if I have to pretend to play the role I need to be. Want to work out? Put on gym shoes. Want to clean? Put on those converse. Want to be a writer? Put on some ankle booties. It could be anything. Want to bake? Get out the eggs. Want to cook? Put on an apron. Need a friend? Pick up the phone. Need to write? Type one sentence, any sentence. Take a step, any step and it will get you unstuck. Then take another. If anything, try putting on your shoes.
