The Subtle Signs That the Air Was Holding Me Back
For a long time, I assumed the problem was me. By mid day, my focus would start to slip. Conversations felt harder to follow. My posture changed without me noticing. I would take deeper breaths, not because I was out of breath, but because something felt slightly off. Nothing dramatic. Nothing urgent. Just a steady sense that everything required more effort than it should.

6 Thoughts That Were Quietly Ruining My Progress
I thought I was doing everything right. I woke up early. I set goals. I worked hard. I stayed disciplined. But somehow, no matter how much effort I poured in, I felt like I was running in place. Progress felt impossible. Success felt distant. And every day, I grew more frustrated with myself.

Patience to Perseverance: 2025 Angel Blessings and Sidenotes
Patience does not come prepackaged with a pretty little red bow. It is a gift to oneself, constructed with intentional practice. Perceived timelines must dissolve, erasing self-inflicted pressure. Patented equals a personal copyright, only when ready. Racing is neither embracing the lesson nor is it a reason. Slow and steady is the course. Perseverance is the season. -Marilyn Glover

Atrial Fibrillation
Anne Bernays and Pamela Painter — What If? Writing Exercise for Fiction Writers prompts The Exercise — Choose a story that doesn't seem to be working and cut it apart into the separate components of scenes and narrative passages. Lay these story pieces out on a large table and just take in what is in front of you. How many scenes do you have? Are there any "missing" scenes? What would happen if you began with the beginning of the ending scene and use it to frame the story? The Objective - To see an early draft of a story as something that isn't etched in stone. Not only are the words and lines capable of being revised, but the story structure itself is often still fluid enough to rearrange and analyze for the questions listed above.

3 Mental Habits That Saved Me During My Lowest Phase
I didn’t hit rock bottom in one dramatic moment. It happened slowly. Days blurred together. Nights felt endless. I smiled in front of people and collapsed the moment I was alone. I wasn’t lazy, weak, or broken—but I felt like all three. Every plan I made felt pointless. Every effort felt invisible.

Why I Tracked My Small Wins
For a long time, my days felt heavy, even when nothing “bad” was happening. I would go to bed exhausted, wondering why I still felt behind. My to-do list was never empty. My goals always seemed far away. And no matter how much effort I put in, it felt like I wasn’t doing enough.

Start Small, Win Big
I used to believe that success had to be loud. I thought that if I wanted to change my life, I needed a cinematic montage. You know the kind I’m talking about? The movie scene where the protagonist wakes up at 4:00 AM, drinks raw eggs, runs ten miles in the rain, and suddenly transforms from a mess into a masterpiece.

The 5-Minute Rule for Consistency
For years, I told myself the same story: I just need more discipline. More motivation. More energy. More time. I believed consistency was something other people had—people with stronger willpower and better routines. Every time I fell off a habit, I blamed myself and tried again with bigger plans and higher expectations.
