Travel was the Remedy to my #writersblock. Why I left the Country to Successfully Write my First Book!
I think the components of any successful endeavor are a dope Environment, Good Energy, Supportive People, and Great Food! Right? You’ve gotta eat!
Some of the most prolific writers like Alice Walker do it. Celebrities who purchase vacation beach homes and even small islands — all do it. Retreat. As a Certified Wellness Practitioner, Breathologist + Fitness Trainer,
I needed that too.
Getting away from the norm is the best remedy for Creative Writer's block. Lack of inspiration doesn’t stand a chance when I’m isolated in a serene destination where no one knows my name or what I do. Finally, I could sit with my thoughts, and compile all my scraps of paper to make magic.
Getting away from what’s familiar or the “norm” helped me to appreciate my creative sensibilities on a deeper level. At home, when things came to me, I headbutted them with doubt, I didn’t allow myself to open-up fully. I criticized. I shrank every detail down to dust. I forgot things in transit. I saw the signs and simply ignored them. All of these things impeded my progress in the writing journey.
It was a trip to Grenada that awakened my senses, I was in love with the vibrancy of the island and used my time spent there staying at True Blue Bay Resort as an influencer creating content for the New Year to also organize my thoughts and build the final chapters of my book, “Everyday Wellness for Boss Babes” a Holistic Wellness Guide for ambitious booked and blessed women. It was almost as if, I had to live it — get inside and actually become the pages to appreciate the message intended for the World.
After 10 incredible days of enjoying, creating, editing, and becoming. I released it!!! And even received a stellar Fox 5 DC Interview on National Relaxation Day to promote it. The written and visual literacy experience is now available on Amazon and my Website: www.everydaywellness.today
I give thanks to the Travel Bugs who did it before me —saying take a chance! GO FOR IT!!! I realized later on that a huge part of it is giving myself permission to jet set and GO! Then, embracing the Joy of it All.
