"For years, I thought wanting things to feel effortless meant I was avoiding hard work. My therapist challenged that too. She said effortless isn’t the absence of effort. It’s effort that is aligned.

It’s spending hours on something that energizes you instead of drains you. It’s working with your nature instead of against it." this this a million times this!

I've also returned to writing again after a break of almost a decade. It's scary, but I'm learning to find my voice again and let the motivation to write happen when it happens rather than trying to fight it. ❤️

Loads of good wisdom in this piece. The quotes from the therapist are genius and definitely good food for thought that ignite something in me. In fact, those quotes confirm lots around where my thoughts are around doing work that’s aligned with my loves. Those loves that drive you, push you to continue doing the work, some say this is passion and that for me is what fuels my work and continues to remind me to stay true to what is for me. Thanks for a great article and your contribution to doing the work…

It was such a lucid and soothing read. I am sure those who “does not know how not to right” can resonate with it.

Reading this article , it felt like you read my mind. This is the exact same thing I have been thinking these days. The struggle , the friction, the burnout , the exhaustion takes away the joy from the thing that makes us alive. The fast algorithm game is taking away our fire and we need to find ways to fuel it again. Thankyou for the amazing tips at the end. Have been trying things likes these myself as well.

Thank you for this. I’m quite new in this platform and I got excited so I end up stucked. You made everything clear for me. Writing has always been my way of releasing suppressed emotions but I now forgot how to write. And to add to that, I got confused if I should also write for others or for my sad soul. I know better now. The purpose of this platform is for me to feel alive again. I was dying inside for this past few years. Thank you for this.
