Awakening the #wholewriter: 3 simple practices for a fearless writing life
When you were born, you were without doubts, fears, and worries. You were whole.
Along the way, people or events took you off course. These people and events chipped away at you, and caused you to feel drained, stressed, and otherwise “lesser” than you truly were. They caused you to doubt your writing ability, and your potential to succeed, so much that you weren't sure you'd ever get back to who you were before. Am I right?
If this sounds like you, don't worry, you're not alone.
Wholewriter: One of the themes in the book, the methodology (+ what is a #wholewriter?)
Who you are daily affects your creativity more than you know.
You are what you do, what you eat, how you act, and how you think and feel about yourself. You are your patterns, you are your best habits, and your worst. All of these factors work together to determine your success in the future. If there’s something wrong in your writing life, it's because there's something wrong in your personal life. And if something's wrong in your personal life, you'll never become the successful writer you always wanted to be.
Introducing The #Wholewriter Movement
Inside each and every writer who has ever been afraid to spread their message or use their voice...
Every writer who has grown terrified of what people think, or how they are perceived; who has ever received abuse for their art, or has ever failed, or has ever felt like giving up...
Inside each and every writer who has experienced these things, is a #wholewriter.
I'm talking about the person inside you who is not afraid.
Feeling well is the secret to writing well
How much time a day do you spend daydreaming about how good you’ll feel after you finish writing your book...?
You will feel amazing, for sure, but being laser-focused on the future just drains happiness away from your present. The more you think about how much you want to become a best-selling author, the further and further away it feels when you’re trying to get all the smaller tasks done each day.
That’s when most writers get frustrated and overwhelmed. When our worth and our idea of success become so intertwined that the stress of trying to achieve what you want for yourself causes more harm to our wellbeing than good.
