Welcome to a series of eight episodes that focus on writing well and being well for writing. This is the eighth.
Mindfulness is about being present in the moment with your writing, but there may be difficult feelings there. It can help to move from rehearsing how badly you feel, to articulating a beneficial wish for everything and everyone around you, including yourself. And apply it more specifically to your writing practice.
This practice comes from Chapter 8, ‘Conclusion’ in Writing Well and Being Well for your PhD and Beyond.
Maybe you could dial up the positive talk, to yourself and others. How does that feel? What grace could be experienced?
