Blockbuster Plots for Writers | keep at writing | plot whisperer | stay true to yourself as a writer | writing the first draft
Writers’ Self-Sabotage
Do you have the dream of finishing your story and then find yourself not showing up for your writing?
Think of today as the start of a whole new schedule. One day at a time.
Everyday make time for writing and for exercise. As you exercise meditate on this:
What you are writing is not hard — it’s the first draft — it’s okay if absolute shit (excuse my rant!) or second or last.
What you are writing is the answer to your dreams — a giant step toward becoming who you are meant to be — the big you, the spirit you.
Why does the little you (ego / resistance) have so much power???
Why does everyone else come before you and your dreams??
What are you so afraid of??
Why are you sabotaging yourself????
You can do this. One day at a time. Give your writing time to yourself as a gift.
Okay, enough of that.
You’ve got a great plan.
I’m sending you loving healing energy now and now and now… Every day this week you’ll stay true to your commitment to yourself. If you can’t trust yourself, then who???
You're amazing! Thank you for this–this is what I needed to read.
I'm guilty of self-sabotage on occasion and this post is exactly what is needed to get back on track. It's a great personal pep talk.
Thanks, Martha! I really need this today. Your fearless support inspires me.
Thank you for this lovely encouragement! This, and the thought of you sending "loving, healing energy every day" is so dear. Thank you for caring about us. I will send the same back to you.
hugs,
Sandra
