Following your bliss is not self-indulgent, but vital; your whole physical system knows that this is the way to be alive in this world and the way to give to the world the very best that you have to offer. There IS a track just waiting for each of us and once on it, doors will open that were not open before and would not open for anyone else. - Joseph Campell

resistance is futile


Fighting Writing Resistance

Jenna's blog post this week was about the resistance we have not only to writing, but pretty much anything that's good for us.  This has been the biggest battle of my life. I just can't seem to do anything that's good for me, which includes writing.  I've referred to this resistance as my wall.  The wall I could never seem to get over, until last fall that is.  I don't know what changed, and I'm honestly afraid to look at it too deeply.  As long as I am writing, I am good.

What is the key to fighting resistance then?  Jenna says making writing a habit.  This makes me all happy inside, because I have been working on my book more and more as each day comes.  I have been making a habit of it, and it is now something that I just do.  How awesome is that?  If you would have told me this time last year that I would be five chapters into a book I would have laughed.  No way could that ever happen, and yet here I am.

Yes, I agree with Jenna, and I am making a habit of it everyday.  Even if some days it takes me longer to get going than others, I am still pushing through.  I'm doing it, doing what's good for me!!
