~* A slight shift in mindset can do wonders, and make this work so much more enjoyable.

*We are blessed to sink in so much valuable info around. Thinking of ourselves as explorers…..wandering in the digital world making sense of diversified knowledge and writing it down in our words is a blessing in itself.

* We get money plus knowledge with each project. Isn’t it a very good deal?

* Don’t procrastinate. Just do it when you have time. No time is a perfect time, we need to make it perfect by approaching it with the correct frame of mind.

*Don’t be greedy to take loads of work that’s beyond your abilities to handle. Focus on doing good work efficiently. More work will follow automatically.

* Treat yourself with positive reinforcement. A cup of coffee, watching the episode of your favorite series, or spending fun time with family and friends.

You’ve done your job now let’s rock and get the fair share of your dear LIFE.

* Feed your body so it can feed your mind. Eat healthy, exercise, rejuvenate being close to nature and ensure adequate sleep. Take a break if required.

* Distractions lead to loss of focus.

Loss of focus = loss of positive energies.

So, try to find that ideal slot of undisturbed time that should be designated for your work.

*Pat yourself with encouragement. You are taking your job seriously. Your seriousness is reflected in the pressure you feel to generate quality content within the allotted time frame.

Believe me! So many individuals damn care about these traits. Hence, they are non-productive.

*Never….never ever doubt your creative powers. Be open to growth and learning with a firm belief that you possess the power to grow within yourself.

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝑶𝒇 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕.”

* In the end…..there is no unified, unbeatable formula to deal with the negative impulses that we writers have to face. Just keep treading on this path being grateful for the success as well as the failures. Because failures are the best opportunities to learn.

~ Yippee! Our words have so much value. We get paid for each word. There are millions of people out there who let this treasure go wasted with no gain.

~ I remember I had no work initially. The struggle to get hold of the first paid project. The joy, excitement, and fear of completing the first one.

Now we have work plus the updated skills. Yay! We are growing.

~ It’s ok not to feel ok at times. It’s ok to not be that perfect writer all the time.

~I am a human and programmed to have episodes of emotions and varying degrees of physical and mental strength. I love myself for my productive as well as non-productive endeavors.
