If anyone has been checking or lurking around my blog, you probably have noticed that there have not been new entries for a good long time. Beginning in July and through mid-August my life was consumed with preparation for a month of travel and then completing the travel.
Time for blog entries of my days "not if office" never seemed to occur...I was simply living those days.
I decided not to get bothered by falling behind on the entries because I knew I could "break the rules" when the time came. So the "rules" are those habits of mind that unconsciously or consciously direct, affect, influence what we may or may not do. For example, I used to (many years ago) have many "rules" around when, where, and how I would or would not exercise and for the most part, the "rules" affected what I would not do...which was exercise. So until I gave myself "permission" to "break the rules" I missed many darn good opportunities for exercise.
"Breaking the Rules" was a notion I first came across many years ago (about 1985) in a seminar on creative thinking where Roger von Oech was the featured speaker (http://creativethink.com/). He essentially says to adjust your thinking and do things differently...just don't break rules that hurt yourself or others, etc. Of course, he explains this in a very interesting and creative way.
So I'm "breaking the rules" about the "order" of when I enter my blog entries. Hope you don't mind.
