@jtimberlake You have brought joy, comfort, love, laughter and wisdom to 100s of millions of people. One stumble doesn't change that.
We see you, know you and love you. Don't let the self-loathing bastards drag you down.
@KuhlSawyer This is why it's crucial to follow your heart, passion or curiosity.
Those are the lighthouses that keep us focused, motivated and pointed in the right direction when the storms come, or results elude us.
When our work aligns with our authentic self, we do best work.
Nobody tells you when you’re starting out how long, winding, and weird the road ahead of you will be.
You might not embark on the adventure if they did.
We all have a basic need to feel safe.
The highest form of safety is clarity in our perceptions and our mind.
Both require peaceful self-compassion.
We are safest when we are most loving to ourselves and others.
@alwaysbewriting I'm with you. I try to not eat after 7. And stopping earlier is even better.
And, when I'm being good, I don't eat breakfast until 11 or so.
I've been noticing I've been hungrier during the evening hours, but one benefit is that I sleep better, with the logic being that I won't be digesting a heavy meal before bed. What about you? Would you consider, eating earlier for more restful sleep?
I've been experimenting with eating earlier in the day to attempt to get better rest during the evening hours. Today's meal ended at 5 p.m., and I won't be eating again until sometime around noon or later tomorrow.
@E_C_theWriter Someone referred to it as "creative gestation."
Consider the problem carefully and as fully as you can, and then just forget about it for a few days.
Then, after a few days, if you haven't already had an inspiration, revisit the problem.
My productivity brain when I'm reading for the night: "this isn't productive!"
Also my productivity brain, the next day: "Come up with new ideas or else!"
Reading and rest provide space for the creative brain to cook something spicy and delicious to write. Rest well, yall!
