The Writing Coach Podcast 43: Bridge thoughts

Often when I start coaching a writer, they ask, “How do I get myself to do this thing I know I should do?” The short answer is to change the thinking that’s causing your blocks. If you think differently, you’ll feel and act differently too.

Bridge thoughts are a mindset management tool that can help you overcome imposter syndrome, not setting boundaries, underearning, procrastination, and so many of the problems writers face that we’ve talked about in previous podcast episodes.

This isn’t about asking you to pretend to believe things that aren’t true. It’s the opposite, it’s about first identifying things that you believe that *aren’t true, and then to replace those beliefs with thoughts that *are true.

This episode is for those of you who are ready to take your writer mindset management to the next level. You may want to go back to episode 1 for a refresher first.
