When something comes up (and it always comes up) that makes me feel inadequate, it goes into the box. Every once in a while my Lizard brain tells me to open the box and believe everything it holds, but if I figure it out fast enough, that thought gets tossed in as well. You would think the box would be bulging, but I'm finally figuring out that once I get it out of my head it ceases to exist, and so it doesn't take up any room in the box.

And now that Amazon has author ranks and sales ranks it is so easy to get caught up in that - and what you really need to do is write the damn book.

Just focus on you and your story, and make it the best it can be, and all the rest will come!Jodie Rennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17180607353893233389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954486699810607306.post-14674237310287250102012-12-12T10:03:48.963-08:002012-12-12T10:03:48.963-08:00That's a great post, L.J., and so true.

Since we run on emotion and are so intuitive, it can work against us--I know it does with me. Emotions distort reality. I guess I should add to my rewiring plan. Something about learning to trust logic more than emotion when called for. Thanks for sharing the link.ANDREW E.

I've been trying to be more balanced, such as spending more time with my granddaughter, but in my head, I still worry. I need to rewire too. Thanks for a terrific post.L.J.
