Monday Musings - The Power of I AM

 I AM verses I can/should/will.  That’s my new mindset as far as writing folks.  The “I can do it” will be saved for volunteer projects and those will be fewer, the “I should will focus on the housework that can be put off a little longer (heck, its only dust, right) and I will goes on a list that yes, I’ll get to and it becomes I AM doing it.

But my focus for now is I AM WRITING or editing or revising…the things that go into the end product of a book that will end up available at my publisher’s website.
In addition to I AM WRITING, the I AM manta will apply to me.  I AM a good person, I AM blessed in my life, I AM happy.  Forget the “I should be or I need” to be thoughts and words.  From now on the power of I AM is my focus!
With those words, I am going to end this blog and get to work on the current edits/revisions that my editor is waiting for.  And next week, I am going to share with you tidbits from the book because I AM going to have the edits back to said editor by then.
Have a great week and I’d love to hear what your “I AM” goal is for this week or your life in general.

THAT is amazing and something I really need to print out and hang on the wall. Good for you and hope you had a productive day!

Great blog, Lizzie! The other day I just changed all my email passwords to coincide with goals for myself this year. That way, each time I log in and type them, I'm reinforcing my goals. I AM successful and I WILL reach my goals!

Thank you, Stacy. I'm happy my experience is helping you take steps. I did have a productive day and though Tuesdays aren't productive for writing, I enjoyed the company of Toddler and all the fun she brings into my life. Today, back to work as I AM working on my deadline to finish these edits.

Here's to your "I AM" success!
