Love Yourself: Be Mindful

Hello Poetteers,

We are always on the go. Our minds eventually get cluttered.


When I'm on social media only some of the content I consume is important. The rest is information you don't need. You aren't fully paying attention after scrolling down for so long. Limit your time on there. Stay offline when you can. I realized my mind has more space for creativity and focus.

Along the same lines of this, have boundaries. Keep your spaces separate. Your bed is for sleep only. Once your work hours are over don't keep working. Leave your social life and home life for family and friends. Your work will still be there later.

Lastly, wherever you are notice how your body feels. Like I've said before we have a go-go-go mentality. We think we should work through the stress. When we are stressed we are unable to give the activity we are doing our full attention. It is better to step away. Just like we have to notice how our body feels we have to be conscious of our breath.

stay inspired,
Fida

Hearing About IWSG

Hello readers, I was reading Ali's post about this support group that talks about writerly doubts. I have doubts and I shall share them because that's the point of a support group. I used to be insecure about traditional publishing, that no one with accept my writing. Then I heard of self publishing. Yet that added to my insecurities. I have no money or talent to showcase my writing. After IndieReCon I felt a better, yet once the high went away, I find it's only a little bit better. I need a team, I need help. I call for help, but I don't get replies. That's another insecurity, I don't think I have any fans. My blog is becoming dead and I keep thinking of deactivating my twitter. The only reason I stay is for the knowledge. And the worse insecurity, dare I say it. All the above add to me... wanting to quit writing. I have little motivation and that motivation is to show my Muslim community you don't have to be a doctor or lawyer or teacher to be...
