![MONDAY MOTIVATION FOR WRITERS [Episode 20: Beating Self-Sabotage]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2mOJhJEuyJw/maxresdefault.jpg)
Starting up a paid writing career is a big life change – and, though it’s exciting, it can feel scary or uncomfortable in the beginning. Sometimes, in the interest of protecting ourselves from scary things, we engage in self-defeating behaviors that hold us back.
In today’s Monday Motivation for Writers session, success coach Ted Capshaw and AWAI Director of Training, Jade Trueblood, work on beating self-sabotage by asking you to look inward at your behaviors. Are you doing anything to try to protect yourself that is only holding you back? Do you have self-defeating behaviors that aren’t serving you? What can you do to beat self-sabotage, instead?
Watch for a much-needed wake-up call and reminder to continue looking inward and examining our own behaviors.
Join us every Monday morning for a boost of writing motivation, plus tips and strategies to make sure you’re staying on track and moving towards your goals all year.
Then, go here to turn your in-box into a daily writing ritual:
