This episode is a deep dive into what mindful writing is—and what it isn’t. What happens when we create like worldwide bestsellers Eckhart Tolle and Elizabeth Gilbert do without hustling, performing and proving? Listen to find out why mindful writing is an invitation to slow down and luxuriate in the writing process, where all the energy and fun is. Plus learn three powerful mind shifts to begin your mindful writing practice.

#writing #mindfulness #burnout

If you have scarcity stories in your head around writing and money you’re not alone and it’s not your fault! Scarcity is institutionalized in arts grants and funding systems and winner-takes-all awards. It’s in publishing and our culture, so it’s no wonder it’s in our thinking, too. But what if things could be different, or you could at least see them differently? We ask big questions in this important episode.

Questions to ask yourself and journal about after listening to this episode:

What scarcity stories do I tell myself?

Where do these come from?

What money stories and attitudes did I learn in childhood?

What’s true for me now?

What’s possible for me now?

What’s stopping me now, and is it real?

What support and encouragement do I need to thrive?

What’s one thing I can start doing differently or thinking differently today?
