594 | What's Stopping You From Writing Your Book

from Own Your Choices Own Your Life

In this episode, I am sharing some thoughts to support you in writing your book. Maybe you have had a deep knowing that you were meant to write a book, you want to share your story and you are stuck in the cycle of overwhelm with where to start; concerned with what others might think of you for sharing your story or you might be wondering who your story could help or if it is big enough to share? Every single writer starts insecure, unsure, and afraid. We start with fear, and sometimes even terror, gripping us. And sadly, for some authors, these fears stop them from ever writing their book at all. In today's episode, we discuss: 1) A lot of the reasons why people don't write include saying, "I'm too busy to write, I don't want to be judged, my story is too small, I'm too scared of not doing it right or good enough (aka being a perfectionist); literally feeling unworthy of bringing that big dream to life. 2) This is what I would do instead, I would paint a clear picture of the reader holding the finished book, tapping into all of my senses. I would focus on it being done because it already is. I would uncover any blocks, limiting beliefs that were stopping me from starting: overwhelm; belief that my story wasn't important enough, and fear of what others might think of me for sharing my story. 3) I would anchor in a new empowering belief that: I can write from a grounded, calm space with full certainty of my story; that I am perfectly designed to help the person that I once was, and a knowing that my story can support people who I haven't met yet. I would create and use subconscious reprogramming to anchor in and support these new empowering beliefs, like EFT Tapping, Hypnosis, and Subliminals.
