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.
This creates the biggest problem you’ll face in your writing life, no matter what form it manifests in, and that is not feeling good about the work anymore. And so, if there was ever a secret that more writers needed to know, it would be this:
Feeling well is the secret to writing well.
And by “feel well”, what I mean is being in a healthy relationship with yourself.
