The Beneficial Psychological Side Effects of Blogging

I learned something very important about myself today... as I am someone who is often so myopic, so detail-oriented, that I often find myself overwhelmed and stressed out by my need to make sense of it all - projects get quickly abandoned - I benefit quite a lot from blogging. Turns out, if I downscale "the prodject" down to documenting details, it all doesn't seem so overwhelming... It channels "the crazy" and gives my obsessive nature an outlet to do it's thing! I've never had that before! So that frees me up to accept that different things will be important at different times and I'd do myself a favor to just "ride the wave" and not just fight the current to get my predetermined destination...
