Stress Relief That Works: How to Think Your Way from Stressed-Out to Peaceful, Stevenson Ph. D. Kalinda Rose

Do you want to live a happier, more successful, more fulfilling life? Are you looking for how to have, be, and do what you truly desire? What strategies and methods have you tried to accomplish your goals and achieve your dreams? Did they help get what you wanted?

If your efforts did not accomplish your goals and achieve your dreams, why didn't they work for you? Why don't you have what you truly desire to have? Why aren't you the person you truly desire to be? Why don't you do what you truly desire to do? What's the secret? What are you missing? What's standing in your way?

Do You Have a Hidden True Self?

If you are asking yourself these questions, you have probably heard about Michelangelo's sculpture of David as a metaphor of how to live the life you truly desire to live.

As the story goes, Michelangelo was asked how he made his statue of David. Michelangelo said that it was easy. All he had to do was chip away any part of the stone that didn't look like David.

These words of Michelangelo about carving his statue of David have become a familiar clich for self help work. According to this idea, you can discover your True Self by chipping away at your False Self. Your False Self is the reason why you don't live the life you desire to live. Your False Self blocks you from having, being, and doing what your True Self truly desires. Your False Self prevents you from living the life you want to live.

What if the whole idea of having your True Self hidden away by your False Self is a trap that keeps you from living the life you desire to live?

Are you overlooking the essential writing skill that turns good writing into great writing? Do you want to know the real secret of great writers? It's a secret hidden in plain sight. Great writers know that great writing depends on choosing the right words.

Choosing the Right Words

Why does choosing the right words matter so much? Writing is nothing more than choosing words and arranging them into a readable form. Great writing happens when your word choices communicate in a compelling way exactly what you mean to say to your readers and your readers understand exactly what you mean.

Choosing the right words sounds simple enough. But choosing the right words is not always easy.

Do you ever feel frustrated that you can't find exactly the right word to say exactly what you mean?

Do you feel upset when readers misunderstand what you are intend to say?

Do you feel that you need to expand your vocabulary to impress readers with your knowledge of impressive words?

Do you read the words of great writers and feel jealous that you can't write as well? Do you wonder what they know that you don't know?

Your Writing Can't Be Better Than Your Word Choices

The secret hidden in plain sight is that your skill as a writer depends on the quality of your relations with the words you use. The simple fact is that your writing can't be any better than your word choices.

The better you know your words and the better care you take of them, the better writer you will become.

What Your Words Can Do for You

Words can also be your teachers if you allow them to teach you. When you write, everything you do is about you and your relationship with language, one word at a time.
