In this episode I talk about something that can have a major positive impact on your work, your writing process. and the amount of writing you are able to produce.

And that is the power of “priming” your mind.

Priming basically refers to how being exposed to one stimulus can affect your reaction to another stimulus later on.

In essence, your mind is constantly storing information and then using it to create thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that come later. 

When it comes to your work, one of the most important things you can do is to prime your mind to have positive associations with writing so that you are more likely to want to do it and feel good WHILE you’re doing it. 

How do I suggest you do this? By using writing mantras. 

Now, before you discount mantras as being too New Agey, give me a chance to explain why they can play a critical role in helping you reach your goals and become the writer you’ve always wanted to be.

I’ll talk about what they are, why you should use them, and help you create some that are tailored to your own individual needs
