Writers, there's a self-talk technique backed by real brain science that most authors have never heard of — and it works. I discovered it passing a motorcycle test, and it completely changed how I handle writing pressure.
Most writers have never heard of distanced self-talk. This video changes that. There's real brain science behind why standard positive self-talk often backfires, especially when you're staring down a blank page, a scary submission, or a scene you've been avoiding for weeks.
Once you understand how this works, you'll see exactly where it's been missing from your writing life.
If you've ever frozen up before a writing session, talked yourself out of something you really wanted to create, or felt like your own mind was working against you, this one is for you.
What you'll learn:
• Why the thing you've been told to do is working against you
• The strange mental shift that increases your capacity
• Where writers need this most (you'll recognize it immediately)
