There are no “screens” with my daughter. We play outside. Read. Wrestle. Play dolls. Paint. Make comics. Play Legos, etc.
The only bump in this are the times when reading inspires blog thoughts. Just as this one did while waiting for my coffee to steep.
With my daughter the goal is to not pull out “screens”, unless for work. No screens are no screens. And she calls it out if screens are being mindless looked at.
Every morning is writing in the Two Minute Journal. Two minutes to think, reflect, set the day up for success. My daughter should see this. See me writing and know the reasons behind this practice. Yet, it is my time to start the day.
The problem: How to record thoughts for this blog. How to have my daugther see me writing. How to be okay with “me time” writing in the Two Minute Journal (which would be a great share with my daughter).
While meditating, the answer came. Write the blog thoughts in a journal. Let my daugther see this. After bedtime, record the paper thought to the computer.
Seems easy and simple. Pen and paper. Yet, the solution was blocked by the obstacle (no screens). Is focusing on an obstacle blocking you from a solution?
