BRITTANY: Welcome to WriteCast: A Casual Conversation for Serious Writers. I’m Brittany Kallman Arneson,

 

BETH: and I’m Beth Nastachowski.

 

BRITTANY: In this episode, we are sharing positive writing affirmations that you can say out loud to yourself. So before I start with the positive affirmations that you can repeat to yourself, I want to give some quick instructions for how to use this track. This track is meant to be used in a quiet space where you, the listener, can feel comfortable speaking aloud. That might be your car, it might be somewhere in your home. For each listener it will look different. But you want to be somewhere where you can actually speak these words out loud repeating after me. The affirmations work best if they’re spoken aloud. So you can try thinking them if you aren’t somewhere you feel comfortable speaking aloud, but ideally you’ll be able to repeat aloud after me each affirmation. So I will speak the affirmation and then I will leave enough time for you to speak the affirmation repeating after me. And then I’ll move on to the next affirmation.

  • I am always learning.
  • My goal is progress, not perfection.
  • My ideas can impact my field and others in my community.
  • I am going to make progress on my writing today.
  • I don’t need to write a perfect paper on the first draft.
  • I have good ideas to share with the world.
  • I am a better writer today than I was yesterday.
  • And I will be better tomorrow than I am today.
  • I will be kind to myself as I write.
  • I will accept the time I spend on my writing today as enough.
  • I ask good questions and offer appropriate solutions.
  • My writing helps others.
