Today, I wrote for 15 minutes with a comfort break at the 10 minute mark. During this break, I realized that the way my legs were crossed was a little strenuous on my lower back, so I uncrossed them. I stretched my neck and rolled my shoulders and then proceeded with the last five minutes. When the timer sounded, I was in mid sentence. I thought to myself, "Boice would tell me to stop." But I guiltily finished the sentence and then ended my session.
I was pleased with what I accomplished today. I didn't feel blocked. I didn't feel super "pumped" to write, but as we've read, just getting in the habit of practicing daily and being patient is key. So, I guess overall, I'm happy with the product so far.
Whenever I get anxious about it not sounding right, I calmly remind myself that I'm not writing this for anyone except myself, so just have fun with it. These reminders help me stay focused and keep me from getting off track in a worrisome anxiety loop.
Nice job with the comfort break!
