what I've seen recently
When I ask a writer if they want to resolve their priorities and they say, 'yeah, but is it really that simple?' we don't then focus on whether it IS or not. We focus on the writer, and their question. 'Is it really that simple?' What does such a question suggest? Doubt, perhaps? Skepticism? We're not going to climb on board a boat we're doubtful about - even if it's the boat to our priorities. If we're skeptical about the boat's capacity to stay afloat, we just won't get on. You know what that means, right? The boat, and all your priorities sail off. Without you. I'll be talking more about this tonight at 6pm. I hope you'll join me in my Facebook Group (link in bio) and learn how to be MASTER OF YOUR PRIORITIES. And, yes, it can be 'that simple' with one easy, thirty day practice that I'm happy to share with you later.

We’ve all been told to shut up at some point in our life, and because of the way language and experience is stored in the brain, we would have heard those words in our thoughts, perhaps dwelt on the moment - whether it was a boss, a boyfriend, a daughter or a total stranger, saying it to us. ‘Be quiet.’ ‘Nobody wants to hear what you have to say.’ That kid in the playground who puts their hands on their ears at you and says, ‘not listening, not listening’ and then blows a raspberry in your face. We will say or think it to ourselves, without even realising. And then, we might hear that voice when we imagine ourselves, our dreams, or ever being able to make the money we’d love. Take heart, because that voice can soften and even become your cheerleader. Gabriela x #WriteNoMatterWhat Lifestyle and Mindset Coaching for Creative Professionals and Writers! Grow your brand!

Have you ever thought about the impact you'd like to have, or the following you'd like to grow so that you could count on people being out there who care about your work and what you have to say? Often our 'burden' comes from wanting something that we don't feel is possible. We transform this burden by practicing ways, each day, that we can believe in ourselves! #WriteNoMatterWhat Lifestyle and Mindset Coaching for Creative Professionals and Writers! Grow your brand!

What’s the one word that describes how you feel?
Nobody says anything at first. I look at the faces around the room – fifteen, sixteen year olds who are expecting to stand in front of an audience in a few days and read some of their writing. I wait. … Continue reading
