Knowing and doing are two different verbs for a reason. One does not always follow the other.
I know I like how I feel when I write every day.
Doing it is another matter.
According to Martha Beck in a 2008 Oprah magazine (which I was reading when I could have been writing), human nature is predisposed to this knowing, this listening to our inner voice, and then perhaps not acting on it for a number of reasons. Mine reasons read like a melodramatic "women who do too much" self-help book, so I will spare you from them.
The good news about this inner struggle is that when I actually act on what I know, the joy of being in flow is pure bliss.
And it's that knowing that's worth doing.
