What do you need to let go of?
I am in edit mode of my second book.
I realized that I needed to let go of a few things so I could better focus my energy on my book.
I let go of watching an online course I had purchased.
I will come back to it when I finish my editing.
I let go of recording a weekly video.
I might do sporadic ones but not weekly ones right now.
I let go of interviewing people for my YouTube channel.
I will come back to this too as I really enjoyed it.
What happened as a result of this let go process?
I filled with energy and excitement and poured it into the edit process.
I realized I was actually enjoying the edit process.
I was no longer dreading it.
I look forward to seeing how it turns out!
I am excited to complete it!
I now edit my draft almost everyday.
I edit one chapter and if I feel good, I edit a second chapter.
I created an edit routine.
When I edit I perform the following routine.
I recite to God,
โI love You.
I trust You.
I surrender to You.
Work through me.โ
I sit in silence for one minute.
Then I begin my edit process.
My edit process looks like this.
Eliminate words, phrases and even sentences.
Make sentences more concise.
Leverage the suggestions Microsoft Word makes.
Decide if this chapter belongs as a standalone or should it merge with another chapter.
So, I come back to my original question.
What do you need to let go of?
Be honest with yourself.
It does not mean never.
It just means not right now.
Good luck.
I think you will be glad you implemented this let go practice!
