Let It Go

Guided Meditation For Medium Writers

In 6 easy steps

Just take a seat anywhere. I don’t have all day. / Photo by Medienstürmer on Unsplash
  1. Settle in and settle down. Wiggle your ass a bit to find your center. Make sure your ass is planted and rooted and centered smack in the middle of your zafu. If you can’t afford a zafu, any rock or book will do. Sit on your kid if you have to. Especially if he’s a loud little smart ass who won’t let you write in peace.
  2. Take a deep breath and exhale. Breathe in nothing but claps and praise from your Medium readership. Exhale all of those jarring and negative comments people left on your stories. Intrusive little shits.
  3. Breathe in all those best selling stories of yours that earned thousands of claps and 2 dollars and change. Now hold it right there. Count to ten before you exhale. Try not to choke.
  4. Exhale all of those stories you were so proud of that bombed in dramatic clapless silence. While they are bombs today, they might be best sellers tomorrow. Let it go for now and file it away on your Tomorrow’s Revenge shelf.
  5. Inhale all of those gracious fans and followers who tagged you and recommended a story of yours on the bottom of their piece. Just try to hold that thought while you count to ten. If any sarcastic voice slithers in during the middle of your count, smash it with a hammer.
  6. Exhale all of the anger and rage you want to direct at all of those writers you read who never reciprocated a single pathetic clap on any of your stories. Let it go like slow hot steam from your boiling kettle. Watch it vanish into thin air.
End of session. Chop chop. I’ve got shit I need to do. / Photo by Conscious Design on Unsplash

Was that so difficult?

Great.

That’s all for today. Now go back to your busy lives.

Don’t forget to make a donation on the way out.

And hey, you with the funny hair, don’t forget to take your kid with you. I run a tight zen operation here and silence is of the essence.
