Day 3
Well, it’s not even noon yet and Day 3 is already off to a great start! I woke up early and gave myself an hour or so to surf the internet. Then, at 10:00, I dove into my writing project and worked for a solid hour and a half. I’ll probably take a break for lunch and do some more writing this afternoon.
I tried something different today, and it seemed to give me quite a boost. After reading a short e-book by Devon Ellington, I decided to establish a writing ritual. Nothing too complicated–I just lit a candle and imagined that it was my “creative spark”. Then I started writing.
I think that rituals like this can help us shift out of the everyday wife/mom/worker frame of mind and into the right mindset for working on our projects. And they can work for anyone, no matter what your spiritual or religious beliefs (I’m Catholic and it worked just fine for me!).
How are you doing on Day 3?
