Unstuck yourself with love

Do you ever feel ‘stuck’ with your writing? Like you just don’t ‘feel like it’ or doubt your words?

Sometimes when we think about writing, it’s like we’re asking ourselves to deep clean the refrigerator. Or drive two hours in rush hour traffic. Or some other onerous, cringe-worthy task.

What happened to the love?! We somehow forget that we want to do this writing thing.

This stuckness happens to all of us at some point. We face a creative wall and look for ways out. We like to think that external structures are the key to bringing out writing back.

We grasp for solutions like: Set a timer. Schedule it on the calendar. Get an accountability buddy. Take a class. Hire a coach.

And while those things absolutely can help, I suggest something adding something else to your get unstuck toolkit. Something deeper.

Start from the inside.

Bring the love to your writuals!

The next time you find yourself avoiding your writing, remind yourself that you actually want to do this. That you perhaps even enjoy writing. That it’s in your life because you want it to be, not because you are forced to do it.
