As a novice blogger, I’m navigating my way through this world of social media... launching my first blog today - definitely a late bloomer ! I've written some posts in recent months with a particular focus on transitions and cultivating resilience. And now it's transitioning in action, moving out of my comfort zone and embracing this blogging world........eventually getting into action!
So far, my three tips as a novice blogger are :
1. Learn the basics of blogging & persist with "technical" obstacles
2. Start writing
3. Feel the fear and Post it anyway
Repeating 1,2,3........ the learning continues, more posts to follow !!!
"Fail Better" is an event taking place in The Science Gallery until 27th April 2014, which aims to open up conversations about failure and it's role in stimulating creativity. Sonia O'Sullivan was a guest at Runner Up : The Psychology of failing better in sport (discussion begins at 8.50 minutes) last week exploring, with Dr Ian Robertson and Ray D'Arcy, the experience of failing as a top athlete - subsequently discussed on Newstalk's Off the Ball. Sonia speaks so openly and honestly about her learning and the importance of accepting her failure to enable her to move on. There are so many gems on offer - for me it's practicing ACCEPTING the failure. Have a listen and hear what resonates for you ?
