This is Hard

That's what she said...

I spend a lot of time and energy writing these posts every night.

Most nights I dread it but I tell myself to suck it up.

I've written over 60 of them at this point so what's one more? I've been doing it every night for 3 months now, I'm used to it. But that doesn't make it any easier.

If I'm having a down night, it's even harder to get into it.

But even on a night like tonight where I'm so happy and grateful, I'm buzzing right now. I've been on fire this week and I can see the plan coming together. My thoughts manifesting into the physical world around me.

I've been getting incredible market research and insights coming from everywhere. I can see now that I had been focused on solving the wrong challenge for a long time.

A subtle change can make a huge difference!

I have a lot of data and feedback, now I want to collate and analyze it to see what I can learn from it.

But I have to write this stupid fuckin' post first lol

It's work

It takes effort, energy, and time in my day. Time that I'd love to be using elsewhere.

But at the same time, I need this.

This newsletter is the thing that gives me clarity.

It's the thing that helps me process my thoughts and ideas by getting them out of my head. When I see these words and read them and edit them it's reshaping my mind.

Words are powerful, magical even - that's why we call it spelling : )

This is one of my four daily journaling exercises:

1. Dream journal - I record my dreams and any meaning I interpret from them. I write this first thing in the morning to improve my dream recall.
2. Daily/weekly planning - I write down my top 3 goals for the week and each day. A list of notes and priorities to keep me focused throughout the day.
3. This newsletter - I write and publish after everyone in the house goes to bed. This one allows me to process a lot of thoughts and emotions.
4. Gratitude journal - right before bed, I write down everything I'm grateful for. It's a great way to pull all the good that came from the day and tap into my subconscious mind at a higher vibration while I sleep.

These exercises help to shape my mindset and now my reality.

So as much as it may suck, it's exactly what I need if I want to pull this challenge off!

But no matter how much I dread it each night, there's nothing quite like the satisfaction that comes from hitting publish and adding the link to my tracker:

Then I go and look at the metrics and expand it out to a 90-day window. I get really excited when we set a new record for daily views. Even on the crappy nights, I get excited because I know it'll bounce back even higher : )

I've made a ritual of it.

So no matter how hard it may be to get started, I always have that to look forward to at the bottom of the post. And that helps keep me going!

Join me on this journey...

I am manifesting $1M working for myself this year. This is the Manifest a Million Challenge . Sunday through Thursday night, I publish a look at my progress, plans, and thoughts throughout it all.
