What must you begin again?

writing prompt for today.

Run to Write— writing prompt for today.

This quote I handed out to each member of The Run to Write Club on Monday.

It resonated.

I’ve been overthinking the correctness and quality of my writing. Saying things to myself I wouldn’t say to a friend.

Resistance shows up.

Joy disappears.

I get caught up in comparison, lack, and self-doubt.

It also made me think of running.

I could change the words to— the pace and distance of what you run do not matter, the act of running does.

When I focus too much on my time, pace, and how long I run— I miss out on joy.

What freedom to recognize this!

Don’t get me wrong, I want to write and run well, however, when I put this unnecessary pressure on myself both writing and running suffer.

So today I begin again…writing and running for joy!

How about you? What must you begin again?

P.S. I’m at The Uplifters Live Event with

Aransas Savas

and will be unplugged until Monday! :) I’ll catch the comments and reconnect with you then. Have a fantastic Friday and weekend.

Write together Friday will be closed today. I will be back next Friday 5/24 to host the write together group at 11 am (EST).

I hope to see you then,

Julie
