Relaunch My Life

WHY HELLO WRITER’S BLOCK…

“Welcome to The Dream Life Diary – Week 35”

DREAM

– Journal entry, Wednesday 28 December 2016-

6.35pm

 

Well. For once I don’t know what to write.

Why hello… writer’s block.

I’ve been working on my book more intensely these past few weeks and as a result completely ignoring journalling or writing my blog. In fact, I haven’t felt like writing at all.

Which for me, is a very strange feeling.

Why is it that when we put pressure on something it can suddenly stop being as enjoyable?

I love writing for the joy of writing…. for the feeling I get when I simply let the words fall out of my soul. 

I know that my book is going to inspire hundreds, thousands, perhaps even millions. I know that my message is important because it’s scary as hell pulling it out of me. It’s like pulling teeth.

The process is painful. Which tells me it is going to be powerful.

I keep pausing during spurts of writing to ponder…

How much of my own story do I include? 

How much of my real life do I put in? How do I convey my message to my readers? How do I stay authentic? 

How do I ensure this book makes the impact that I want it to? 

And ironically, I’ve come to realise stopping asking myself any of those questions – that is the key.

I’ve come to realise that by getting out of my own way and letting the words fall onto the keyboard is the only solution.

I’ve come to realise that this book really is less about me and more about you.

So…

Do you need permission to pursue your dreams that knock on the window of your soul as you sleep?

Do you need my encouragement to make a big change in your life that frightens you and therefore keeps you stuck in the same rut?

Do you need inspiration to know that others have done the same (or scarier things) to feel brave enough to do the same?

Whatever it is you feel you need to change your life, know that it is up to you. And only you.

No one else.

So take the plunge.

Be brave. 

You only have one life. And this is it – and the few minutes you just spent reading this article can never be given back to you.

Remember, it’s never too late to relaunch your life.

…and as always, Breathe, Go Slowly and Know That You’re Loved.
