Thank you for this! Reading it really helped. I have been struggling to accept the process of writing with flexibility instead of seeing it as a required "disciplined" task/consistent no matter how I feel. There is a time and place for being consistent but not if it's going to suck all of the joy out of something. I'm trying to keep this mind especially as it applies to this substack.
So glad this resonated! I agree with you about the “disciplined” part. It’s always felt like a judgmental task master…And yeah—this type of “consistency mindset” realllllly does allow for flexibility! :) Keep it up! However that looks for you! :)
Thank you for this thoughtful exploration of consistency. I am not a traditionally consistent being so I love the mindset of coming back to my intentions and allowing in flexibility.
Hi Lauren, oh I’m so glad this resonated with you! I wonder if there is anything with holiday last week and the holiday season coming up that is also helping you to allow for this understanding of consistency?? I know it’s helping me with my erratic “schedule”- lol! :)
