Today was a bit of a letdown on the writing front, but I also realized something last night as my mind was kind of swirling…

I obsess WAY waaaaaaaay to much about my writing. I really do. I put so much pressure and attention on that shit. No wonder I have a hard time doing it sometimes. I get myself so wound up over it!

I need to work on not obsessing like that. On just going with the flow more. Being more flexible. More confident and sure of myself that I will do it. And if I start a bit late, so be it. If I miss a day, like I did today for many reasons beyond just phsyching myself out, so what. Either make it up throughout the week, or just let it go.

It’s definitely a fine line. I do need to do things like get to bed on time, so I can wake up on time and get in my morning session. I do need to get my Netflix work done, my work done on the “project,” which took a lot of extra time today by the way, I do need to rest, to spend quality time with Liz, to be social…but really getting amped up and stressed about my writing fitting into all that is not helpful. It only makes me restless and anxious and then shut down, like it did this morning.

I’m learning.

It’s not easy. So…tonight, I’m trying to practice that. Here’s to a decent night’s sleep, and a day tomorrow that was less crazy busy than today.
