Showing Up
How daily commitments shape my life
If you enjoy ‘with ease’ and would like to support my work, be offered first refusal to book onto my writing & wellbeing retreats with best selling authors, receive discounts towards my therapeutic journaling workshops, please buy me the equivalent of one cup of coffee, by becoming a paid subscriber. Thank you so much.
Dear Friend
How are you feeling today?
Phew, I'm feeling quite proud of myself - another content challenge in the bag. I’ve just wrapped up a month of daily journaling prompts for July over on Substack notes. maybe you joined in on the series, I hope you found the daily prompts useful. I actually wrote in journal earlier, why on earth do I keep setting myself these challenges. Don’t get me wrong, I love them. But boy, are they hard work!
The commitment, the showing up every day, even though sometimes I’d rather be engrossed in a book or relaxing on the beach - it’s not always easy staying truly committed. It reminded me that I’m just days away from completing my 12 month daily writing challenge here on Substack. Last August on my 49th birthday, I vowed to write every single day. With only 20 days to go until I hit the big 5-0, I’ve got to admit I’ve missed a few days, maybe 10 days in total. Which is pretty good going, well for me it is. But you know what? It’s been worth every drop of blood, sweat and tears to drag myself and write something - anything - on Substack every day with some ease.
Speaking of ease, and being brutally honest…
