I have the feeling when I read my old blogs that they seem so inane! It is discouraging. But should it discourage me?
The other concern is repetition. I write down an insight, and much later I record a similar insight. I have forgotten the insight from the first time it came to me. This is not a new discovery either. In the days of paper I used to list my "new insights," "awarenesses," etc. as they occurred. After a couple of years of doing this I reviewed my list and was amazed to discover how many times I had listed the same insight more than once, and each time it seemed "new" to me. Later I found a line in one of Karen Horney's books about this phenomena. She said it was a result of not fully integrating and insight once it is achieved. It is important to dwell with and explore an insight to make it stick.
