Writing every day grows your strong as it strips away your delusions and gets you clear on your dreams, goals, and visions.
If you’re honest with yourself, you’ll see exactly what you need to change, nourish, or remove. You’ll see where you need to ante up, dig deeper, or ask for help. You’ll see your soul in the mirror.
Writing alone won’t save you, but it’ll equip you for your journey to wholeness, mastery, and impact.
It’ll flush out your limiting beliefs, fearful mindset, and negative actions and behavioural loops.
It’ll shine a strobe light on your wounds, your scars, and your broken places.
It’ll show you where you need to be tender, where you need to be delicate, and where you need to strap on your armour and own the arena like a fricking gladiator.
And it’ll point you to your strengths and weaknesses so you know who you truly are and what you’re all about.
It might seem odd to see writing every day as growing your strong, but spilling your guts on the blank page purifies and energises you. It’s cathartic, effective, and sustainable, an invaluable tool in your wellness arsenal that clears the white noise and murk layered over the gold in you.
Growing your strong doesn’t happen on its own. Just like you don’t suddenly wake up to ripped abs without a bulletproof routine, you don’t grow your strong without working for it.
You show up. You tell the truth, face your demons, and get the help you need to move forward, whether it’s through prayer, therapy, or heart-to-heart conversations with your best girlfriends.
Growing your strong is intentional, focused, and challenging. You’re flexing your muscles to build a robust and grounded self, and it takes countless acts of bravery to keep going even when you just wanna throw down your pen and hide under the covers in a dark room.
You gotta be brave because you’ll bump up against things you’d rather forget or not have to deal with.
You gotta be brave because you’ll have to work through the messy tangle of the negative thought patterns, emotions, and habits holding you back from being your best self, and not give up when it gets gnarly.
And you gotta be brave because that’s the only way to stay in the game long enough to grow your strong.
Writing every day grows your strong because you learn to meet yourself where you are as you figure out where you want to be and how to get there. You learn to focus on the essentials and weed out the junk clogging up your flow. And you learn to spot toxic people and situations a mile away so you can keep them out of your sacred space.
Growing your strong isn’t just about pumping iron, chugging protein shakes, and shredding body fat. It’s also about elevating your mental game, your daily habits, and your relationships, and it all starts with you and the blank page.
Growing your strong starts with you getting super clear on who you are, what you want, and what you’re willing to do to get it. It starts with you doing the work to live out your dreams. It starts with you committing to a lifelong growth mindset that keeps you on your toes and far away from the graveyard of your comfort zone.
What’s it gonna be?
Grow your strong and dominate the game.
Let’s go.
