Do You Get Stuck When Your Serious Strategic Part Stops Your Inspired Part? If, Yes then Try This.

It all started with my inspired part wanting to share inspirational videos Part 1

I have been thinking about doing this, but have been putting it off for some reason or the other.

You may ask what is it…

In the following article, I wrote

Its OK If You Don’t Complete A Writing Challenge But There Are Ways You will Benefit Just As I Did

Just Do Your Best and become aware of what you learn about yourself

At the time of this writing, there seems to be no intrinsic desire for me to batch and write several articles at a time.

Coming back to what I was thinking…

I consider myself leading my day intentionally and a Time Valuer. Keeping that in mind, I watch only motivational YouTube shorts for 10 minutes. That means I get to watch ten of them . A couple of them may be from the same creator/Youtuber. The rest are from different creators/Youtubers.

The inspired and giving part of me wants to share these videos with my audience immediately.

The strategic part of me is looking for a structured way to do it and that is why I postpone.

Today I am giving myself 15 minutes to just write a Draft in my Mobile app and share one video with you. I highly recommend investing one minute and watching

Here you go.

Are you limiting yourself through labels?

What did I learn from this Video?

This Video appeared timely, as I was subconsciously telling myself that I am not able to or good at batching and writing.

Now I am telling myself in the third person:

Lalitha, at the time of your writing that article, you probably didn’t have an intrinsic desire to batch and write several Draft articles. Just try batching and writing three Draft articles within 15 minutes and publish in three days.”

I still have ten minutes after completing this Draft article and I am going to write the second and third Draft articles. See you there.

Shout Out to the following amazing authors Molly Miller and Dr. Srini Pillay for sharing their knowledge and experience:

The following article had the highest “Read Ratio” in April 2023. That means I might have inspired some reader or writer. LOL. With that state of mind, I want to share and have more people read, clap, respond as they wish.
