Most of the time the block we have (writer’s block, for one) is a block we put there.
That rut? We dug it ourselves. It didn’t just manifest out of no where.
Feeling down is a choice we make. Out of all the emotions in our arsenal. We chose that one.
The continuation of any is merely a habit we’ve formed based on taking an action the first time… and because it was familiar and not too painful, we did it again.
Block by block. Rut by rut. Down down down.
So what to do about it?
Find the trigger. The moment before you decide to slow, stop, descend. And change something about the trigger tomorrow. Maybe it’s figuring out how to remove it entirely. Maybe it’s rewarding yourself for breaking through it. There’s a hundred different ways you can go about it once you recognize the trigger. Ask ChatGPT to help ideate if you need to.
Once you change the action/trigger, you can change the habit.
Forward faster and faster. Drip by drip. Up up up.
