How to Build a Healing Writing Practice

From Amy:As long as I've known Sara Taylor, I've thought of her as a gifted writer who—when she gained momentum—would write volumes I want to read. Which is how she was an early participant in what has become my Circle for Real-Life Writers; I've been an up-close witness. Sara's subject matter and how she frames it fascinates me. If I'm interested in the inner working of stories around generational trauma and healing, Sara's a healing practitioner who delves deep into underlying patterns behind stories AND fearlessly applies these lessons in her own life.Her work is groundbreaking. I really believe that. But writing about such things takes time.So when Sara sent out a newsletter sharing how she gained traction on a writing practice thanks to the website 750words.com, I took note. The previous day, I'd heard a random podcast where a prolific author credited the same unknown-to-me website with her own momentum. This was a welcome synchronicity. For months, I've been looking for a way back into the earliest drafting stage of book writing. It's been a long time since I typed the early free-written content that became my two memoirs, random thoughts I saved in Pages with only the vaguest idea of what my book wanted to be (singular, I thought) in the dark forty-five minutes before I awoke my seven-year-old twins. This followed years to work up a strategy and courage to write, and only after I stole the playroom from my kids where I still write today. Initially Pages worked. Afterwards, I had all these document files to wade through and got bogged down again in subsequent stages.Writing tools have evolved since 2011; I'm a different writer too. As in, I think of myself as a writer. Sara talks about this shift too.There's no one tool to write a book. It's just what works for you. But! Within two days, two women I respect described this site as a game changer. And I was intrigued. Because knowing where you're going to write, with a simple set-up, helps calm down resistance. So I signed up for the website, to try it out for myself. The next thing I did was invite Sara to record this conversation.It's one of many tools, but it might be the one that will get you—finally—writing.Because we want you to have options for your practice too. Sara Taylor, PhD, is a neuroscientist turned generational and existential life coach who helps deep thinkers and creatives break free from inherited patterns and lingering existential unease. With a deep understanding of generational trauma, she works with those who've done extensive personal work—especially around anxiety and depression—but still feel stuck, disconnected, or like life is passing them by. She helps people recognize and shift the hidden influences shaping their lives so they can move beyond dissatisfaction into greater potential, meaning, and momentum.Follow here: IG: @sarabtaylorphd Substack: @sarabtaylorphd Amy Hallberg is the author of Tiny Altars: A Midlife Revival and German Awakening: Tales from an American Life.

 'Writing isn't just about creating content; it's about creating ourselves.' It's another Best Bits episode, and the theme that really stood out to me as I looked back over the last few episodes was one that you'll have met here before if you're a regular listener: it's the power of writing not just as a means of communication, but as a tool for self-discovery, clarity, and growth. Writing, it turns out, isn't just about creating content; it's about creating ourselves. It helps us process our thoughts, discover and sift ideas, and make sense of the world. One the things I love most about this podcast is that I don't just get to talk to authors about their books or even their ideas; I get to ask them how the act of writing has shaped them and changed them, personally and professionally. So that's what this episode is all about: uncover how writing transforms not just the reader, but the writer, and hopefully it'll fire you up and give you some practical ideas on how to go about getting more of this in your own life. Because as these powerful writers will tell you, it's powerful stuff. Hear from:  Jenny Proctor on sifting through what's already in place;  Kate Toon on pushing through to the new stuff;  Todd Rogers on the joy of rabbit holes;  David Falzani on the satisfaction of writing that makes a difference;  Per Wimmer on self-reflection and future direction;  Laura Hamill on letting go of performing and embracing authenticity;  Amy Walters Cohen on trusting the process;  Lucy Ryan on flow and joy.

If you want to unclog your publication pipeline and get more consistent with your writing and publishing, you must develop a resilient writing practice. In this episode, I discuss how a resilient writing practice allows you to navigate life's inevitable derailments so you don't have to be resilient yourself. Rather than writing from guilt or pressure, a resilient practice lets you pause and return to your work. I explain how predictable challenges, like academic responsibilities, and unpredictable ones, like illness, can impact your writing.  Then, I share the essential components of a resilient practice and how to foster a more positive relationship with your writing.

Welcome back to another segment of the podcast series about academic writing practices. In today's episode, I tackle a major challenge many academics face in their writing: breaking the binge and bust cycle. Many professors look forward to summer, winter, or semester breaks as an opportunity to catch up on all the publications they have put off during regular working hours. You think, “I'll get so much done!” But then, the workload catches up with you, you burn out, and the break ends up being a time of exhaustion, not productivity. This cycle creates guilt and frustration and reinforces the negative thoughts you have about your writing and writing practice.  I offer alternative strategies that help you foster a more positive relationship with your writing. Learn the benefits of making writing the center of your career and how setting realistic, achievable goals will shift your mindset and ultimately boost productivity.  If you are gearing up for a summer or winter break and plan on using that time to get through your backed-up pipeline, this episode is for you.

Are you blaming lack of time for your backlog of publications? In this segment of the podcast series on writing practices, I explain why your publishing problem isn't time. It's a lack of discernment. I discuss how academia breeds a scarcity mindset and why the pressure to do as much as possible hinders our ability to move projects through to publication. Instead of trying to work on every idea that comes to mind, I suggest adopting a more strategic approach to project selection by leveraging your academic mission statement. By embracing the natural ebb and flow of your career, you can overcome the binge-and-bust cycle and develop a more sustainable relationship-based writing practice. If you're ready to clear your pipeline and get your work out into the world, remember: it's about intentionality and strategic planning, not just finding more time.

Welcome to another segment of the podcast series about writing practices and establishing sustainable writing habits in academia. Today, I am discussing how to make and keep a writing date.  As a scholar, you juggle many responsibilities, and it can be challenging to say no when things come up that interfere with your writing date. We allow these "urgent" requests to overshadow the importance of your writing. There will always be something or someone pulling at our time, and we need to learn how to say "no" and prioritize our writing practice. I share strategies to help you build a consistent writing practice by scheduling writing dates in small time blocks during your most productive time of the week. I also emphasize the importance of self-accountability and strengthening your time and project management skills. Finally, I explain how professional development can help establish boundaries around your time and give your writing the importance it deserves.

I have worked with many academic women and nonbinary, and a recurring challenge about their writing is that no matter what habits or methods they try, their writing practice is never sustainable. The problem is that sustainable practices are a moving target. Writing habits you relied on during grad school no longer work as you juggle the demands of faculty life, including teaching, committee work, and personal responsibilities.  Today's episode kicks off the new podcast series about writing practices. I discuss what makes any practice and life change sustainable. Through insights inspired by life coach Brooke Castillo, I emphasize how our thoughts influence our feelings, which in turn shape our actions and results. Then, I guide you through a reflective exercise to identify negative thoughts about your writing and work toward replacing those with positive affirmations.  By changing your mindset, you can create a healthier relationship with your writing and foster a more sustainable writing practice.

One of the things about maintaining a pretty regular practice over the years, is that one really does start to depend on it. In recent years, I've hardly ever missed a day of writing. I fight like hell for it and mostly I succeed. It is the anchor in my day, wherever I am and whatever else I'm doing. This is largely possible because I don't tend to have a lot of other people around me. Other people have needs and the more of them there are, the harder it is to get your own into the mix.

Do you look forward to each and every writing session? Do you sometimes struggle to find the joy - especially when you're knee-deep in the first draft?  If so, on this week's podcast, I've got a wonderful conversation for you to listen to. Natalya Androsova is an award-winning writing and dissertation coach with over two decades of teaching and coaching experience. She has coached professional writers and university writers of all skill levels–students, staff, and faculty. Her passion is helping writers become more courageous, authentic, and kind to themselves. Through individual coaching, writing groups, and writing retreats, she's helped hundreds of writers break through blocks and find inspiration, a more authentic voice, and greater freedom in their writing and their lives. During our brilliant chat, we discuss: How to approach your writing as a joyful practice - a little like you might treat a yoga practice - and creating a space both mentally and physically that can help you complete your best work. Managing writer's block and how to feel inspired and motivated to continue - even when trying to control that voice of self-doubt. The importance of self-compassion in the writing process and how we should all embrace the journey for what it is - full of ups and downs and twists and turns. Natalya's own writing process and how she approaches each book she writes - and how she uses that to support the writers she works with, too. And LOTS more! Natalya and I approach the writing process in such a similar way, but what I took from this conversation is how to embrace a more purposeful—almost spiritual—side to my practice and treat it with the love and respect it deserves—that I deserve!  Natalya's words really struck a chord with me, and I've been working on a more intentional practice ever since. Thank you, Natalya! I hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it!

When the complications around the concern have cleared, and distance has done its job. Goal setting - 37 Signals does not set long-term goals. Jason (as the CEO) helps set the direction and they work in six-week sprints. Think, "What am I optimizing for?" 37 Signals does not have a board of directors or advisors. Is it more helpful to have a chip on your shoulder to prove someone wrong or to be motivated to prove your supporters right? Both can be useful. Keys to a great partnership? Jason works with his co-founder, David Heinemeier Hansson (a previous guest on The Learning Leader Show). Mutual admiration Have complementary skills (Jason is design, DHH is engineering) A company is essentially two things: a group of people and a collection of decisions. How those people make these decisions is the art of running a business. Maxims: Decide what you're going to do this week, not this year. Whenever you can, swap “Let's think about it” for “Let's decide on it.” Momentum fuels motivation. Just ship it. You'll figure out what needs to be fixed as you go. Mark Zuckerberg is coming into his own... There are lots of reasons for it. One of them (maybe)? He's working out, in great shape, fighting MMA style, and surrounding himself around others who are doing the same. All leaders should have a writing practice. Hopefully, you don't feel the need to send it to a lawyer or a comms team before publishing it or sharing it with the people you're leading. Write like you talk. Write what's in your head. Think about what you want to say, and say it. You never know who is watching: Jeff Bezos sat in the front row for one of Jason's keynotes and was so impressed that he asked to invest in his company. When you have the guts to put your thoughts and beliefs out into the world, it can work as a magnetic effect to attract people to you. It's refreshing to hear Jason talk about one of the core qualities he loves most about Jeff: he is overwhelmingly optimistic. The world is built by optimists. You don't create culture. It happens. A company's culture is a 50-day moving average. It's what you've been collectively doing as a company over the last 50 days. How do you treat people? Who have you hired (or fired) and why? Company off-site events: They do two per year (one in the United States, and one abroad). Members of Jason's team meticulously design them. One day of business followed by time for the team to hang out, do activities together, eat together, and bond. Does Jason have plans to sell 37 Signals? "No, that would be the demise of the company."

No matter how much we prioritize writing and publications, writing gets derailed. Sometimes it's because of professional obligations like grading or committee events.

Instead, work on creating a resilient writing practice!   In today's episode I cover a key topic in the Navigate program: the importance of a resilient writing practice.

Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com Twitter/IG: @RyanHawk12   https://twitter.com/RyanHawk12 What's the Matthew Effect? The Matthew effect explains how two people can start in nearly the same place and end up worlds apart. In these kinds of systems, initial conditions matter. And as time goes on, they matter more and more. Instead of saving a fixed percentage of your income, save more when you earn more and less when you make less. The best way to save more is to earn more, not cut expenses to the point of being miserable. The real question money forces us to answer is what's important to us in life. You should save what you can, when you can. Relying on a fixed, prescribed savings rate is nonsense. The Dolly Varden trout, an Alaskan fish species, puzzled biologists for decades. Despite only having a brief window of plentiful food each year — when salmon laid eggs in their waters — the fish continued to thrive year-round. How did they do it? Eventually, scientists discovered that the fish shrink and grow their digestive organs depending on food availability. When the salmon show up, they speed up their metabolism so they can take in more calories. Then, when the other fish leave, they slow down digestion. This way, they get by with much less food throughout the remainder of the year. Great Things Take Time – Focusing on the long term is more important than ever. The story of the “Dashrath Manjhi Breakthrough” – He carved a path through a mountain. He moved a little bit of rock each day for 20 years. Nick committed to writing one blog per week in 2017. And it changed his life. He learned that storytelling is what captures a reader's attention. And the way to develop good stories is to read a lot, from a wide variety of sources. We all can do this. One decision can change everything. NASA decided that Voyager 2 would slingshot around planets has made it the farthest man-made object from Earth. And it's still producing information for us. The Constant Reminder – How the Right Decisions and Compounding Can Lead to Huge Results. How have the decisions made by NASA 40 years ago had a profound effect on the Voyager missions and success to this day? Once a successful process is implemented, the results can be surprising. The point is to show you that making the right choices and letting things run their course can lead to incredible results. This is what makes consistent actions and the power of compounding so amazing. "When I think about creating a new habit in my life, I like to imagine all of the future benefits from that habit discounted back to the moment when the habit is formed."

In this podcast episode, Sarajane Case, the host of the Enneagram and Coffee podcast, provides guidance on how to start a writing practice. She advises the type Nine listener to begin by building a daily writing practice for oneself, without the intention of others reading it. Sarajane emphasizes the importance of consistency and suggests setting a specific metric, such as a certain number of pages or a designated amount of time, to establish a guideline for the writing practice. She also encourages creating a challenge or reward system to stay motivated and making time to be bored and inspired before writing strategically. -- Thank you to this week's podcast sponsor: Find your forever pieces at jenniekayne.com Our listeners get 15% off your first order when you use code EGRAM at checkout.
