I used to feel that way about starting my newsletter. Every time I gathered the courage to share my writings, the voice in my head rebelled saying, "Wait till you get better" or "What if nobody subscribes?"
Over time, I've come to realise that life is too short to delay doing things that bring us joy. Life is so much better now!
Oh I love this!! Thank you so much for sharing. I think this is also a great way of evaluating when we are doing something for "others" vs "ourselves." If the joy is missing, it probably wasn't for you!
I think when we start doing something we like, over time, the pressure to be the best at it starts lingering on our shoulder. I revisited the feeling of excitement and joy I felt when I first started writing and aligned my writing with the things I value the most(personal growth and intentional living). Have been receiving positive feedback on my newsletter since💛
Hi Sara! :) wow, thank you so much for sharing your insights! I'd have some questions about the book...What was one of the most challenging aspects of writing your book? How did you deal with that?
awww!! YAY!! I hope you love it as much as I do. From an emotional standpoint, I think it was allowing myself to go back to a time in my life that was incredibly painful. From a technical standpoint, all the concepts were so closely linked and intertwined that I had to experiment with what topics to introduce first (aka order).
It's a double edged sword I think. On the one hand, we've only got so much time left and it isn't like this life is a dress rehearsal. But on the other hand, I know a lot of people, perhaps myself included, for whom at some deep unconscious level equate completed tasks with death. Put another way, the tension of having things not done reminds many of us that we're still alive.
