The 3 Best Methods for Convincing Yourself to Write When You Don’t Feel Like It

If you are reading this article, you’re likely struggling to find the motivation to write. It’s not always easy to do creative writing when you don’t feel like it. A lot of people struggle with this concept. In this post, we’ll share some tips that can help you get started when you don’t feel like it.

For starters, take a moment and reflect on what you’re feeling right now. Is it stress? Is it apathy? Or is it a medical condition? If your feelings are the product of a medical condition, then make sure to discuss this with a doctor.

However, if your feelings are the product of stress or apathy, then try these tips:

– Schedule breaks in your writing sessions

– Find time for self-care

– Step away from social media during writing sessions

Here are the three best ways to convince yourself to write, even when you don’t feel like it:

1. Make An Emotional Connection

A major reason why people don’t write is that they think that they need to be a genius in order to produce good content. But the truth is, it’s not about how well you can write; it’s about connecting with your reader and making them feel like you’re speaking directly to them.

The only thing you need to start writing is a pen and paper or your computer with a keyboard. Once you have those, all that’s left for you to do is to get started.

The first step is to write a sentence about what you want your readers to know. After that, it’s time for you to think of something from the past that relates to the sentence and add it to your writing. Don’t worry if it doesn’t make sense at this point because what’s important at this moment is the emotional connection with your readers. The more emotional connection they feel with what you wrote, the more likely they will read on and find out what else is in store for them in your content.

Emotion is the most powerful tool in your arsenal of persuasive tools. If you can touch an emotional chord with your readers, you are on the path to making them feel something.  When we’re trying to convince ourselves why we need to write or why we should keep going, we can remind ourselves of all the benefits it has and how much better and more accomplished we will feel when we complete it.

2. Use Visualization to Encourage Yourself to Write

We all tend to procrastinate. Visualization is a technique that helps people stop procrastinating to start doing things they want to do in the future.

This visualization technique works by picturing what you want to accomplish in the future and reminding yourself of how you will feel when you achieve your goal. For example, this visualization technique can work for writers by picturing what it will be like when their book or article reaches a certain amount of sales or when they get a certain number of followers on social media channels.

Visualization helps people stay motivated and encouraged to work on their goals. It can also help someone manage their feelings about time, energy, and mastery.

3. Become A Writing Champion

The first step to becoming a writing champion is to become an advocate for your work, which means to be its champion. Championing is about promoting something you believe in, either to the public or internally, and it requires an understanding of the importance of that thing. You can champion your own work by telling people why it matters, how it could help them solve their problems or get what they want out of life, and how you are qualified to provide this solution.

Writing may seem like a daunting task, but with the right mindset, anyone can accomplish it. We hope this blog post encouraged you to convince yourself to keep writing.  What are some of the ways you convince yourself to write when you don’t feel like it?  Let us know in the comments below.
