Kameron Is Creating

I’m hanging on by a thread here, y’all. So just enjoy this article about Lois Lowry. It’s short, but there’s a lovely bit about a reader response she got to The Giver, which was one of my favorite books as a child.

Love and gratitude.

I missed a day! Now what?

I’ll be so honest, my first thought really is ‘this is pointless anyway, now is as good a time as any to end the whole thing.’

But I’m not going to do that! There’s something here, I think. Some way this could be kind of useful in the future, or something good that it’s doing for my brain. I don’t know. But I’m here, ready to build a new streak.

Love and gratitude.

Today is my do nothing day.

I started doing these thanks to a therapist I had years ago, who introduced to me the concept of not having to be productive every single day of my life. Radical concept for me.

So, today is my do nothing day. Make sure you find time to have a do nothing day, too.

Love and gratitude, as always.

Are you familiar with the term ‘limiting beliefs’? These are beliefs we have about the world or ourselves that hold us back, like thinking you aren’t capable of writing a book because you’re fourth grade teacher told you that you would never be organized enough to do a big project.

Recently, I discovered an excellent strategy for working through limiting beliefs which I talked about in my newsletter here. Check it out, and while you’re there, consider subscribing.

Recently, I’ve been trying to be better about letting go of things that simply didn’t work for me. Like the 100 Push-Up Challenge–I wasn’t doing it, so I decided I had to find a different way to work some fitness into my day.

Part of the trick was trying to understand why I wasn’t doing the push-up challenge. Turns out, the biggest hurdle was getting a pillow set-up so I could do knee push-ups (I’m not strong enough for full ones currently). My apartment is all hardwood, so I had to get a pillow, but it just felt like so much work! Plus, the only place to really do push-ups was in the front entry, so I really only felt comfortable doing push-ups when no one was home, which just isn’t very feasible.

So, I needed something different to try that didn’t involve any sort of prep–just something I could do.

I’ve got three things I’m going to experiment with: dancing, walking, and yoga. Now you might be thinking, doesn’t yoga involve prep?? Not if you just do it in your bed to relax before sleeping!

If something isn’t working for you, spend some serious time considering what exactly the issue is. It makes finding a solution much easier.

And how does this relate to writing??? Exercise helps you feel good, and I write better when I feel good. I have a feeling you do, too.

Love and gratitude, friends.

Still running a little short, folks.

Have you heard that you have to sacrifice to get what you want? I’m guessing yes, since that’s something I’ve heard a bunch. I don’t like that mindset though–the idea that you can’t have everything you want is honestly silly to me. Lots of people have everything they want, so why can’t I? Why can’t you?

I think the better way to consider this is to think about what you’re prioritizing. Is it really that important to watch all of Married at First Sight right this second, for example? Or will you be better served and relaxed by watching one episode and going to bed early, prioritizing sleep over the dopamine hit of more TV?

Maybe that’s a silly example, but I think it illustrates my point well! Obviously you need rest, and reality TV can be part of that rest! But don’t let that take priority over what you really need, which in this example, is sleep.

It’s possible the example is about me. Make of that what you will.

Love and gratitude, as always.

I am hanging on by a thread today, y’all. But I’m still doing this!

Usually in a funk like this, a walk around the block helps me feel better. Today, it’s raining though, and my walk for lunch resulted in soaked shoes and socks. So if anyone has rainy day mood improving recommendations, please let me know!

Love and gratitude.

Growing up, I sort of had two extremes when it comes to how to live your life. My dad worked in the same field for decades, split between two companies where he worked for twenty years each (approximately). And then you have my mother, who while also taking care of me, dabbled in all sorts of things–owning a recording studio, teaching accounting at our local university, photography, documentary filmmaking, among other things. So those two paths are the ones I saw growing up, and I’ve sort of felt torn between which of those I wanted to pursue.

But of course, I don’t have to do either of those paths. I’ve decided to stay with the job I have currently for five years to get the 401K matching, but after that? Who knows! And while I have a very clear idea of the type of work I want to do, I also want to be willing to let the universe lead me to other places. I don’t have to follow the path of my parents–I can make up something of my own. And so can you.

Much love and gratitude.

I’ve been trying to get better about believing in myself. There are lots of areas in my life where I feel like I have it (mostly) figured out–my day job, for instance. I excel at that no problem. But this sort of stuff, the writing stuff, the stuff I care about more and that I want to be my defining quality: that stuff is harder to trust myself with.

So, believing in myself. Trusting myself to take the right steps and make the right progress to transform my life. I even did the math the other day, thanks to Jen Sincero’s You Are a Badass At Making Money. To live the life I want, I need to make $300,000 from writing and teaching writing. And that is terrifying!

But other people do that. So why can’t I?

How are you choosing to believe in yourself today?

Love and gratitude, friends.
