Enter massive, seemingly insurmountable resistive energy [bluish gray] that turns her largish forehead in the direction of the Internet, the TV, ANYTHING but what her soul is stipulating. Resistance sets in.[evil music] She succumbs to her lower self. She doesn't respect herself in the morning.
Sound familiar. Ring a bell? Read on.
Let's tamper with the machinery of resistance dynamics, shall we?
Psst FirstName, over here.
Be vewy vewy quiet.
So quiet that all the things inside
of you that resist your creative
call are caught off-guard ...
are FOOLED.
You need a little Reverse Resistance.
Over here:
Reverse Resistance
Look non-chalant. Try this: When I really am serious about getting down to writing, I put the following on my to-do list:
- Spend hours on Facebook.
- Watch reruns of 30 Rock until you can recite Tina Fey's part by heart.
- Clean the crisper section of the fridge with the Dustbuster.
The other
thing that works is deciding to focus on my art and telling myself I'm
going to have an affair with my writing. Have an affair!... with your
creative call. Make it enticing. It's the best kind of affair to have.
Sound foolish?
Try it.
