Mindfulness for Writers Podcast Episode #3: Lovingkindness for Writers

Today I dig into why the practice of lovingkindness (mettā) is particularly helpful for us as writers when we deal with our inner critics and perfectionists. I get into why we could use a little more gentleness toward ourselves and how we can do this practice on the spot during emotionally difficult times. Those of you who enjoy mantras will dig this practice, which is a contemplative combo of visualization and phrases that you recite in your head. I * really * love this kind of meditation, and I think you will, too (despite the cheesy name). Combine this with my guided meditation on lovingkindness and you're good to go!

Breathe. Write. Repeat.
