Dump Those Insecurities. Write That Book.

Thank to ALEX CAVANAUGH

Studies show that physical actions and positions can determine success and failure.  If you see successful people you often see them with open faced expressions, not those pinched ones of someone who's worried they're not doing the right thing, the right way. Or you see them standing tall and poised for action. They're not hunched over, biting their bottom lip.




On those Insecure Days, (the ones I'd rather not have) I do six things. 



STOP in place. 

STAND TALL, SMILE and STRETCH out my arms with palms OPEN.

and SAY "Yes."




Once I do that, how can I be Insecure anymore? I've just said YES to the universe. It does make a difference and it's so much easier to get on with the business of writing a good book.

This month I'm taking a break, so if I don't get back to you right away, it's because 

1) I'm sleeping. 2) I'm writing 3) I've found that beach and am wriggling my toes in warm sand,

OR

 4) And this is the more likely scenario. . . I'm trying to sort out my life. 

I'll check in with you more regularly when I return in October!
