Happy Valentine’s week.
This day/week/month can easily get overwhelming whether you have a Valentine or are more aware of your Single Status than normal.
I have a suggestion: Self Love.
Make this week about You. Have you done anything for yourself lately?
I have an idea: Schedule a call and tell me about your creative project.
It won’t cost you a thing, and it just might get you back on track.
Give it a try.
STRUGGLES AND SUCCESSES
I’ve always struggled with the concept of Self-Love. I spent too long putting my worth in others’ hands, and the road to recovery has been long and fraught.
Here’s what I do when I am feeling low and don’t know what else to do:
- REST: This is more than just sleep. It’s taking a break from the mental work that is writing.
- MOVE: Exercise, yes, but also consciously moving throughout the day.
- EAT: Food and Water are more than just essentials; they can be rewards. I’m a fan of chocolate and fizzy water with lemon.
- PRACTICE: This is what I believe I was meant to do. So I sit down (or stand up) and do it.
REVELATIONS AND RESISTANCE
When I’ve done all that, I move on to Project Love.
- What got me excited about my WIP in the first place?
- Who do I think needs to read it?
- What’s stopping me from getting it to them?
- What area(s) needs my Respect (more on this next week)?
Practice makes progress.
