you’ll achieve the most you can if you go at your own pace

I think part of getting better is complete ego death. Like you’re not above setting a timer for 5 minutes and focusing on a task. You’re not above doing a very simple 3 minute workout to start. You’re not above reading for 10 minutes a day when you first get out of your reading slump, even if you used to read for hours. You’re not above starting slow and then building up to where you want to be/where you once were. What you are above is total inertia. Doing something really is better than doing nothing. Radically accept where you are, radically accept your limits, and go from there. Don’t let your ego get in the way.

“The word craft these days has this sort of funny, twee sound, like some little artisan putting the yeast in his handcrafted bread.”

Choire Sicha | Interview | Sep 2015

LE GUIN: I don’t think most people write very good narrative prose until they’re in their later twenties. Writing is a slow art. Music can be such a fast and early art. A good musician can be just terrific at 16. But how many writers are there … I mean, even Keats is still blundering around at 16. By his early twenties, of course, he’s writing immortal poetry, but there aren’t a lot of Keatses, really. There’s where you get “gift” to a degree that it’s kind of like a miracle. You can’t use the Keatses to talk about writing as a craft or an art or a practice or a profession. The geniuses—they’re off there, doing their lovely thing. SICHA: They mess up the scale for the rest of us. LE GUIN: That’s okay. You just have to realize you’re not going to get there, but so what? You can still do beautiful work.

Let’s be honest, life gets in the way; and, practicing self-care can become a chore. Self-care doesn’t have to be extravagant, sometimes it’s the small habits that matter the most. The goal with self-care is to regulate your nervous system by taking a moment to take care of yourself.

Small ways to practice self-care . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁

- Brain dump in your journal

- Place a hot towel on your face

- Make a cup of tea or coffee

- Take 10 deep breaths

- Paint your nails a bright color

- Wash your hair and face

- Have a dance party (I’m not joking)

- Unplug from your phone

- Walk outside

These may seem small but they will help you in the long run. Remember self-care is to help you maintain a peaceful environment and mind. Show yourself a little self love.

Performance, like any skill, requires practice.

And the best form of practice is making big choices and seeing how they work. To encourage kids to make big choices, you HAVE to foster a space that’s safe to fuck up, to make mistakes, to try stuff that totally doesn’t work.
