Know Your Super Powers
Your superpowers are the things that you do that other people feel tired after 30 mins while you feel energized and you can go for hours. This could be unusual things such as organizing parties, pattern recognition, etc. These things sound irrelevant and we tend to repress them because we see them as non-essential in the real world. The key to recognize is the basic principles that underlie such abilities i.e. organizing parties means you are a good communicator, planner, etc. The skills that are required for these abilities can be used or applied in different contexts around you to elevate yourself when doing certain tasks. So, know your super powers, you might have something that is being overlooked.
Writing Is Thinking
Writing looks difficult because it requires clear thinking. Clear thinking means thinking clearly about situations with minimal distractions or biases regarding the focus of what you are writing. It’s taking a view from outside such topics acting as a neutral observer trying to understand such situations from different perspectives and making your own formed opinion. The text you write might feel jumbled or disordered but a moment of clarity resolves such issues. So, relax your mind and try clearer thinking today
