Skellie asks if you are blogging consciously. She’s been thinking about it since reading the zen habits’ post “Wake up: A guide to living your life consciously.”
As she says
Living consciously is about analyzing and evaluating your actions, habits and behaviors, rather than simply doing. In other words, asking why rather than doing without really thinking.
And as both her post and the zen habits one points out, we can apply that principle to anything we do in life. In fact, it’s a key, distinguishing feature of living a hero life instead of a zombie one. The more we pay attention to what we are experiencing right now, the more chance we have of making conscious choices and becoming the authors of our own lives, the heroes of our own stories.
I particularly like Skellie’s last point where she asks if blogging is enjoyable for you or just a chore and says if it is a chore you should be thinking of re-focusing. I completely agree.
Heroes Not Zombies 
I try to write with some larger purpose in mind, but often find the posts that I thought had the most to say did not seem to touch folks as much as some I thought might be weaker. One of the best things about the blog is what I learn from the others who write in. I enjoy the comments much more than my posts. I guess my readers are my heroes.

Your posts are great Dr B. Most folk who read these posts don’t comment, and that’s fine, but when people comment it adds a whole other dimension. Even some of my most challenging commenters have brought me a gift – the gift of conscious reflection – their challenges make me think.
