Get Moving!

Lesson Learned & Shared

This year I am taking on the #100dayproject by sharing one lesson a day from my Stop Writing Alone journey. I am looking specifically for the lessons I not only learned myself, but the ones I find myself repeating to writers and creatives in my community over and over again.

Get Moving!

A couple years ago I got myself a FitBit. It wasn't to count my steps or get me in better shape, it was to REMIND ME TO MOVE especially when I am writing. The cool thing about my FitBit and most of these fitness tools is that, once an hour, it buzzes if I haven't moved enough. For me the buzz comes in at ten to the hour if I haven't walked at least 250 steps. It sounds pathetic, but if you are in the writing zone it is very easy to let hours upon hours to pass you by with your butt in the chair. This is great news for your latest writing project, terrible news for your entire physical body. Don't forget to move your body. Even if it is just standing up in front of your desk for a quick dance break or stretch, just give yourself the gift of minor movements.

How do you remember to move your body?

My #100DayProject for 2024

Introducing my #100dayproject for 2024:

To know me is to know I have a teacher soul. At the end of the day, my passion is learning and sharing that learning with anyone willing to listen. So, when it came time to think of a project that I could realistically take on for 100 days straight, it had to come back to that passion.

For the next 100 days, I will share one lesson learned each day that I find myself continually sharing with writers and creatives in my community. There are plenty of things that come up again and again (in fact, I'm kind of betting that there are at least 100 of them!) and it's about time I wrote them all down somewhere. Let's see how far we get with these mini lessons, let's see how many you remember me chanting before, and how many you needed to be reminded of!
