Vibe Shift: Turning the Page on Author Setbacks

When pursuing a career in writing, authors often encounter an array of setbacks and disappointments that can dampen their spirits and stall their progress. Whether it’s the challenge of not meeting sales goals, receiving critical feedback, or simply not seeing the desired outcomes from countless hours of effort, these hurdles can significantly impact an author’s motivation and outlook. It’s common to feel stuck in a cycle of negativity, where each setback reinforces a pessimistic view of one’s capabilities and future in the industry. This mindset can be a major obstacle to growth and success, making it crucial for authors to find effective ways to rejuvenate their perspective and reignite their passion for writing.

In this week’s episode of the Author Revolution Podcast, Carissa Andrews tackles this very challenge, providing authors with practical strategies to shift their mindset and embrace a more positive outlook. Drawing inspiration from the teachings of Abraham Hicks, Carissa discusses the concept that what has already manifested is simply old news, and the real power lies in speaking into reality what you truly desire. The episode offers insightful tips on how to visualize success and manifest the writing career you envision. Tune in to learn how to transform your authorial journey and start creating the future you deserve. Go forth and start your author revolution by listening to this empowering episode!
