Memorable quote:
“You’re training yourself to accept that failure is part of the process.”
I’m grateful for today’s episode. It reminded me that I haven’t been happy the last few days because my writing has “failed” the last few days. I realized that I haven’t liked what I’ve written in a couple days and rather than acknowledging the hard truth, I distracted myself with other things like motivation.
It’s not a good feeling when you have to call yourself out, but man does it make moving on afterward so much easier. I need to remember this.
I’m starting to miss writing. I think it’s because I have all these ideas and no way to push them out, but I feel like that’s part of the purpose to this boot camp. I burned out writing so much during July and August. If I continue trying to push out more writing while doing this, I’ll end up the same. It’s really hard to break the sprinting habit I’ve had and tailor it toward a marathon, but I’m determined to do it.
Even when all my doubts surface and I’m practically convinced this blog is a waste.
