#JusJoJan ’26 (Jan 23,24,and 26 2026)- 25th day can be found on a separate post.

When we toot our own horn, I do not believe it is true altruism to do for others. True sacrifice is the definition of altruism. (#JusJoJan ’26 Jan 23, 2026)

I will write my own #JUSJOTJAN ’26 for Jan 24 2026. I WILL USE THE PROMPT WORD: COMPULSIVE

I am compulsive mainly because I feel the need to do a prompt for every day. Have I missed something? Like a word for the day. Anyway…

Instead of waking up to prompts that I want to answer, I decide to start with free wtites. My mind goes blank…ugh! How does my mind go from writing a book in my head with all of its thoughts to a blank canvas? I can’t remember what I wrote in my head before I could open my blog. “Think Heidi”, I tell myself.

My thoughts were something like,”lose control, rely on something more powerful than my thoughts to take control, go through the routines of my day but don’t feel the pressure to preform”. I think,”Maybe being in my thoughts is where I am supposed to be”.

There are blockers that get in the way of my thoughts. Each day, I strive to be in my thoughts but some way or another seems to make me lose that focus. I end up doing things completely different. I forget my thoughts and in turn meet other’s needs. I take left overs if I have time.

The end of the day,usually turns into the wee hours of the morning. I dont sleep much. Then, I wake up tired. Already I am thinking of what needs to be done that day.

However,this morning I do something different. On Jan 26 2026, I start writing my thoughts down until more thoughts come to mind. I pause, this morning. That is the difference.

I should be an eavesdropper and listen to my advice : JUST START SOMEWHERE

I can start fresh tomorrow, right?

Until Next Time,

Heidi💜
