Sunny Spots
You do not always need to stare harder. Sometimes you need somewhere softer to look.
Ever had the answer show up in the shower after you had spent forty-seven minutes getting absolutely nowhere at your desk? Interesting. 😂
Sometimes one thing gets so close that it becomes the whole landscape: a conversation, a problem, a Rock, a piece of news, a feeling you cannot name. What if the next useful thing is not another answer?
🗺️ Wander Into Sunny SpotsA Tiny Mystery
Why does your brain sometimes figure things out when you stop making it figure things out?
You have probably done some version of this already.
You walk away. Take a shower. Put on music. Pet the dog. Make something. Go outside. Call somebody who makes you laugh. Then, somewhere between I am absolutely not thinking about this anymore and whatever you are doing next, something shifts.
Maybe an answer appears. Maybe words return. Maybe the problem looks different.
Or maybe absolutely nothing gets solved and you simply feel more like yourself again.
That counts too.
Around the Sassiverse, we call the things that help create some of that room Sunny Spots.
Possible Side Effect
You may start spotting yours everywhere.
A Sunny Spot might be somewhere you can physically go. It might also be a person, a dog, a song, movement, making something, a ridiculous ordinary moment, or a memory your body seems to recognize before you have explained it.
And once you start noticing them, you may find yourself thinking:
Wait. Is THAT one of mine?
Good question. There may be more to a Sunny Spot than you thought.
