Writing for joy, passion, and money
When I successfully ran a marathon, it was because I diligently trained for months beforehand. When I learned German, it’s because I studies. A lot. As you can see, I’ve had moments where I’ve been able to focus and I’ve achieved success.
It helps for me to remember these moments, otherwise it’s easy to get discouraged while I have a day where I lack focus, like this one.
I first learned of Gypsy Jazz music when I watched Sweet and Lowdown, a Woody Allen film about a fictional Gypsy Jazz guitar player. Not only did Sean Penn do a great job in this role, but the soundtrack was phenomenal. I’ve been a fan of the genre ever since.
Do you give yourself enough time to rest your mind? I know that when I work on my business nonstop for hours at a time, eventually I get to the point where I can tell I need a break. Usually, I find myself starting at the screen for long periods of time, or struggle to spell basic words. Sometimes, I get stuck in my writing because I am not sure where I want the piece to go, or I can tell that something isn’t working.
I thought I would share with you another video outlining two strategies that I embrace as someone who strives to be creative and successful. Morning pages are a way to clear all the junk that’s in our heads that block success. The Artist’s Date gives us a special appointment to honor our creative selves. This video goes into more detail.
I’ve been all about conditioning my mind lately. I found this video today, and I plan on listening to it often. Not only that, but I am incorporating the suggestions in the video to my daily rituals for success.
No introduction needed. This video has the potential to change the game for us all!
When I turned thirty, I didn’t give it much thought. My birthday came and went, and I exhaled with the belief that I didn’t feel any different. Now, seven years later, I still don’t feel different.
However, roughly two and a half years before my fortieth year, I know better. Life is to be celebrated. Birthdays are a reminder that there may be things that I have to do or tasks that have been left unfinished. If I’m going to reach all these goals by the time my birthday comes, I better get started.
My list is unique to me and what I want to accomplish. You are free to adopt this as your list or you can use it as inspiration when you make yours.
