Monday Musings: Part 2: Visualize Your Dream Writing Life

Imposter syndrome is every writer’s shadow. Self doubt is always just a thought away. Affirmations shine a light on the path forward. It’s not just woo-woo stuff. Affirmations are more than motivational phrases — they are tools for rewiring your beliefs. Repeating empowering statements primes your subconscious to accept them as truth.

Something like:

• “I am a creative channel; stories flow through me effortlessly.”
• “Readers are waiting for my words.”
• “Opportunities for publication come to me naturally.”

Try this:
Write 3 personalized affirmations for yourself. Repeat them each morning and before writing sessions for thirty days. Feel the words as if they are already true and visualize what that would look like in detail. At the end of the thirty days, evaluate how these affirmation landed and whether they were effective. You may have to make adjustments to get the wording just right for you. Remember the universe is waiting for your command so it can bring it to you as fast as possible.

The stories you tell yourself set the stage for the stories you create. The choice is, and always has been, yours. There’s no such thing as “writer’s block” only blockages of flow, which affirmations can help you remove. Share your affirmations in the comments. Maybe you might have the magic spark that helps someone else get into creative flow.
