what I've seen recently
Do you ever feel torn or undecided? 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!

We've all been there, right? And the first step to 'picking up again' is to talk about it. As soon as you start to put your experience into WORDS, then you can begin to SHIFT. It will be transformative to consider 2 things if you find yourself in a place of spending more time 'thinking' about writing, rather than 'doing' the writing. 1. We do what we think. If you're thinking about writing, but not doing the writing, this is an indication that the 'way' you are thinking about it, does not leave you wanting or able to do it. Get clear about the way in which you are thinking about your writing, and look at ways that you can invite different thoughts in that will entice you to write! 2. We cannot do what we do not know. If you don't know where to pick up, then you won't be able to. Simple as that. So, decide! Use your senses for this one. - SEE yourself writing in your mind's eye. - FEEL the pleasure of the experience, or remember how good it can feel to write. - HEAR words in your mind, phrases that you might write, encouraging thoughts that say, 'YOU CAN DO THIS!'
