… and then there was a blog post

There’s a natural law at work here. If a few days pass without an entry to the blog, it gets harder and harder to break the pause. It’s like trying to resume anything after taking a break. The longer the break the more effort is needed to break through the barrier.

I find this with physical exercise too. If I miss a couple of sessions of exercise, getting back to it gets harder and harder.

Once I break through the hiatus and get moving again – whether posting to the blog or running a few miles – it feels easier than I thought it would. And the flow begins again.

Helpful points to remember:

– the barrier is never as enormous as it feels
– it is OK to have a break and get back to it, the flow soon returns

So … I’m back.
