Feeling a bit repetitive

I’m finding that writing about Tao gets a bit repetitive and the motivation to blog about it is decreasing. I really enjoy writing and may need to work a bit differently to continue. What do other blogers do to keep the motivation going?

Repetitive as in the state of UK politics? I can understand that.

I go in mad spurts.
Then I disappear completely into the process of living my life.
After a while I feel the crazy urge to blog again.
And so it goes.
Take a break, recharge, reflect and re-discover, then re-appear and tell the world about it.
Best of luck to you!

Well... the same happened to me countless times and recently instead of delete my account I've decided 'Feng shui' my blog (o.O). Anyway, if you feel the need to stop for a while do it, until you feel it again, the need to blog, and in the meantime you could try and explore, read, observe and find Tao in other 'philosophies'.

Just enjoy your 'yin' time :)

Life itself is repetitive. Every breath is a repeat of the one before. Every beat of the heart is not altogether different than the one thousand previous ones.

For those of us who blog about philosophical matters, there really are only a handful of topics. So, they way I handle this is twofold: 1) I realize that there's nothing wrong with covering the same ground and 2) I try to bring out different aspects of the same things from various perspectives.

You know... to be truly honest, there isn't much to talk about Tao, Tao itself says it and it's inevitable to feel repetitive when the mind doesn't have any-thing to grasp.

I 'think' that is our minds that 'motivate' us to write blogs; the mind which 'believes' that is needed to 'rationalize' or intellectualize everything to reach comprehension, is like when dogs follow their own tails. Anyway, is a bad habit... but just a habit nonetheless.
