3 Signs Your Belief System is Blocking Your Writing

Aug 1
Sign #1: You hesitate to put words on paper because you believe you are not a good writer. 

As humans, our default societal program is geared toward negativity. We doubt ourselves, our capabilities, and our limitations. This in itself is a limited belief. 
 
What do you choose to believe instead? 
 
I believe we are limitless beings. We become aware of our progress by watching our words and the language we use internally and externally.
Sign #2: You are frequently distracted while writing.

One of the newest addictions is our cellphones. You may believe external stimulus is more pressing or engaging than writing.
 
Do you reach for your phone unconsciously? As words elude you while writing, are you compelled to put down your pen or laptop and pick up your phone?

The simplest solution to counter this distraction is to put it out of sight. Out of mind. Out of reach.

Sign #3: You choose non-essential tasks before what truly matters to you. 

Every moment offers a new opportunity to choose what action to take, whether to pick up your pen and write, sit in contemplation, or goof off. 

All of these actions are essential to your well-being as a writer.
 
What do you believe is most vital in this moment?

Practice means progress towards becoming a skilled writer and expressing yourself.
 
Which sign resonates most with you? Are you aware of another belief that blocks you while writing?
