#Repost @inspiredtowrite (@get_repost) ă»ă»ă» Iâm done with the âget your ass off the couchâ motivational talk. Iâm seeing a lot of this right now. âWhy are you doing nothing during isolation? This is the time to just do It!â talks. âDonât just sit there snacking, chase your dreamsâ chat. Like we donât already have our own inner critic harassing us every time we put on netflix? We don't need the âmotivationalâ talks that mimic our critical internal voice. We donât need to be guilted into chasing our dreams. We donât need external âshouldsâ to verify our internal âshouldsâ. We need revolutionary kindness to break cycles of procrastination & avoidance. When we are in a cycle of procrastination, we stop trusting ourselves because we never follow through. Rebuilding this trust does not happen via guilting or harassment. Itâs an easy route to go down when youâre fed up with your patterns, & you just want to get out of your own way & do the work - I know. But you wouldnât rebuild any other relationship with harsh words & punishment, so letâs not resort to that now. You are enough before you achieve your wildest dreams. You are a miracle right now, on the couch. Donât treat yourself like youâre doing something wrong. Youâre doing nothing wrong. I promise. So donât beat yourself up. The worse I am to myself, the less likely I am to show up. The crueler I am to myself, the more likely I am to give up & spend the rest of the day procrastinating. Shame & criticism will not take you to where you want to go. I promise. Itâs time to mother ourselves. To give ourselves tiny tasks & reward ourselves with bouquets of tiny miracles. Itâs time to gently & with adoration allow ourselves to level up and make art. Tomorrow I will write down two ideas for my novel. I will take the guitar out of the attic. I will write two hundred shitty words. I will celebrate my small accomplishments. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-aXAkalFBr/?igshid=aesoci0qp8j2
