I’ve quit on so many writing projects because I felt like I was failing. I’d get halfway through an idea, lose momentum and then convince myself I just didn’t have the discipline to be a writer. One thing I’ve learned from your newsletters is the importance of having systems to lean on. That reframe alone makes me want to start again and treat it like building a muscle instead of expecting brilliance from day one. So now I’m working on structure through all of your many tips and slowly but surely it’s working. Thank you Idris Elijah and have a great upcoming weekend!
Reading this after going through your ebook makes me realize how much I was sabotaging myself. Before I’d sit down with my paints and immediately feel overwhelmed because I didn’t know where to start. The exercises in the ebook are helping me define what kind of painter I want to be and today’s newsletter nailed the other part…Small and focused sessions. I actually painted three nights in a row this week and it feels amazing. I look forward to getting into the second half of the ebook this weekend Idris Elijah!
One thing I’ve realized is it’s not time I’m lacking, it’s commitment. My 9-5 is stressful and does take up a good bit of my energy but all it really takes is that 20 minutes a day to make progress. A few months ago I didn’t think I’d be able to dance at all. But now that I’m giving that 20 minutes to learn dance moves with my daughter I’m not only learning the moves but making memories with her that will last forever. Much of this I learned from your newsletters so thank you Idris Elijah!!
