Does Anxiety Stop You From Writing? 

Overcoming Anxiety and Embracing Impermanence: A Story for Mama Writers

In this episode of 'Mom Writes First', host Jen aims to help anxious 'mama writers' who struggle to find time and peace to write. She shares a personal story about how understanding the concept of impermanence eased her anxiety. Drawing an analogy with a Thai meditation master's broken goblet story, Jen emphasizes that everything is temporary. She encourages her listeners to embrace this impermanence, not just with objects but also with their writing, children, self, and life experiences. This acceptance, she believes, can relieve them from the burden of perfection and help appreciate the present moment. It can also shift the perspective of their writing frustrations, enabling them to see their work through a lens of unconditional love and appreciation.
