Last night was another session with Karen. We did agree to try to make the coaching continue by doing once a week rather than twice a week; thus making the cost half what it is now. I should be able to make this work if I continue to be responsible with my money. π
So, last night we worked on how to make writing my profession and what might be stopping me from doing it.
One of the things I dislike most in the world is being told what to do when it comes to how I express myself. Writing is a form in which I truly express who I am. Therefore, when I have to meet particular demands I tend to drift away from the person or task that sources a sense of ‘trapping’ me into a mold, pattern, or expectation.
We went back to the “Snow Incident” and how the incident began my tape recorder playing that I was no in control, not important enough, not worthy, not heard, etc. So, by not feeling in control of my circumstances, I have put myself into a position where they do, in fact, control me by my feelings overpowering the truth.
When I think of things in this way, I can see how it would not be hard for me to put in the effort and time to be a writer. With small steps and positive actions I can begin writing for pay very soon. So, that’s what I’m doing!
It makes me feel lighter and happier. I’m excited about this possibility because it’s a real, tangible and meaningful step towards doing what I love. So…we shall see how things go, but I feel good.
I’m contemplating starting a new blog for writing only – which focuses on my travels since that is the niche that I want to focus upon. Just trying to think of a good name…. π
