Suffocation of My Heart and Mind

I planned to sit and start working through the next chapter during the rewriting phase for a project I am working on. However, as I read the chapter, I didn’t have the heart to put forth the effort I knew it deserves.   

      Instead, my mind raced as if I was running short of oxygen from being strangled by my own resistances. Since starting this journey, learning to break the suffocation of writer’s block has been my process. 

Cutting the ties of resistance to my writing gives me the chance to regain oxygen to my heart and mind. Finding that my heart is the driver, and my mind is the measurement. Working through writer’s block provides evidence that the path of least resistance is not always the answer. 

Learning how to write and share what is in my heart is challenging and has taken observance of my emotions, thoughts, and feelings from different observational perspectives. In essence, it’s involved a separation from the ego itself and entirely investing into the notion of ”I am.”

Writing is hard, painful, and frequently strips you of who you are to the bone. And yet, a simple task like writing holds the most complex transitions. You’re taking thoughts, feelings, and emotions and turning them into words striking the reader’s soul forever. Throughout my writing process, I’ve felt more than I could ever imagine. Writing increases my oxidative efficiency through providing the necessary energy to no longer suffocate me during my writer’s block—effectively dumping the CO2 that creates the dysfunction between the ego and self.

In case the point wasn’t clear. To get through writers block you must keep writing.

Much like Life.
