The sins of creators everywhere.

When I first started on Twitter, I thought the biggest problem would be finding ideas to write.

Turns out that's the least of my problem.

There's an abundance of ideas. Turns out emotions is the problem.

Like jealousy and resistance.
1/ Jealousy

Turns out it's very easy to get jealous on Twitter.

There's always someone else writing better tweets, getting more followers faster and getting more engagement.

"Why the heck is she getting 10x the engagement from that stupid tweet!" https://twitter.com/stephsmithio/status/1335630344553316354
2/ Resistance

This includes all emotions like laziness, anxiety, imposter syndrome...anything that stops you from creating.

The weight of your emotions crushing your attempt to write.

It's normal.

Feel it and let it pass and then write anyway.
3/ Emotional mastery

It's critical to accept all emotions without labeling it good or bad.

Emotions are automatic. No need to psychoanalyze it.

Don't chase positive or negative emotions.

Understand that emotions are created by sub-personalities inside you. Not by you.
4/ Emotional programming

Sub-personalities like the Victim and the Judge is constantly active inside of you. Creating a ping pong of emotions, back and forth.

Awareness of your self talk can go a long way to accept your emotions.

If you can see it, you get how stupid it is.
5/ Meditate

This is a cliché but it's the best tech we know for emotional mastery.

It increases your awareness and mindfulness.(letting go of the emotions)

Start meditating by focus and refocusing your attention on your breath.

Do it for 30 mins daily.

That's it.
6/ Why do this at all?

Suppressed emotions is sucking your energy like a vampire.

You're constantly triggered and suppressing your emotions.

Hard to get rich when you can't focus on what matters and have low energy.

80% of your problems will disappear once you get this down.
In other words...

If you constantly have negative emotions running you in the background, then you will always self sabotage no matter how hard you work.

Think about this.
