So much is quietly going on right now and I realize how this is paralyzing me.
Self-doubts, fears, and total lack of confidence are dragging me down once more.
So I go out in my backyard and look outside, at the simple beauty of the sun shining.
I take a very deep breath and do my best to quiet down the nasty voices in my head.
I stay still and intently listen to the inner whisper in my soul.
Ever so soft, still very present when I need it.
Before you know it, I find it again: The strength to shine
Do you have moments, hours, or days like these dear friend?
Well you’re not alone…We’re in this together
Be yourself. Above all, let who you are,
what you are,
what you believe shine through every sentence you write,
every piece you finish.
John Jakes
Soyez vous-même.
Surtout, laissez la personne que vous êtes,
ce que vous êtes, ce que vous croyez briller au travers de chaque phrase que vous écrivez,
ainsi qu’au travers de chaque page vous avez terminée.

Beaucoup de choses se passent en ce moment et je me rends compte combien tout cela me paralyse.
Les doutes, les craintes et le manque total de confiance en soi m’entraînent vers le bas.
Je vais dehors, dans mon petit jardin et je regarde en direction du soleil qui brille.
Je prends une respiration très profonde, cela semble calmer ces voix désagréables dans ma tête.
Je reste encore dehors et j’écoute attentivement le murmure intérieur de mon âme.
Toujours aussi doux et toujours présent quand j’en ai besoin.
En un rien de temps, je retrouve une fois de plus, ce qui me manquait: La force de briller
Avez-vous des moments, des heures ou des jours comme ceux-ci cher(e)s ami(e)s?
Eh bien, vous n’êtes pas seul(e) … Nous sommes dans le même bateau
[…] the beginning, it felt so uncomfortable; having to think of what to write, so out of touch with my inner whisper for those past few months but my friend was asking, I had to show up and so I […]

I too have suffered like this, but too often it lasted for months. May the whisperings that help you (and me) sound louder than the negativity.

Oh yes. The nagging, lying negative voices speak very loudly. And often. I can usually escape them by going outside and absorbing natural beauty.
