It doesn’t matter who reads our stuff, or likes it, or shares our views.
It matters that we write what we believe in.
Then people who care about what we have to say will love it, not just like it.
Helping others become even better versions of themselves

My mate Doug runs fab workshops, exploring different themes using art. He uses a warm-up exercise, as most people are fearful of art, that he titles ‘drawing for the bin’.
Essentially, if you remove the pressure so that you are just drawing with no intention of sharing or keeping, just screwing up the paper and throwing it in the bin, you relax and after several sheets of paper, you’ve warmed up and are then able to do something better.
The same applies to many things, including writing.
This is my 5th draft blog in the last 45 minutes, I was stuck with something to write, I started to feel the pressure, so I just wrote, and then opened another blank screen and wrote again and again.
5 times over until I wrote this. Writing without the pressure of sharing it, makes it easy. Doing it several times in a row warms you up.
Pressure inhibits and is removed when you stop thinking and just start without an expected outcome.
