WRITER’S STORY
How to Get Inspired

There are many instances that I will be waiting for inspiration to strike.
It didn’t happen often, and the words felt forced when it did.
Writing was reserved for the gifted few who had mastered the art of storytelling.
But that belief changed when I discovered the power of the law of attraction.
This wasn’t just some mystical concept; it was a mindset shift that turned writing from a struggle into a passion.
Believing in Myself as a Writer
The first step in my journey was believing I could be a great writer.
It sounds simple. But I had my doubts.
Could I, someone who hadn’t considered writing a serious skill, honestly write something resonating with others?
To overcome this, I started using positive affirmations.
Every morning, I would say, “I am a writer. My words inspire and connect with others.”
I wrote these affirmations on sticky notes and placed them around my workspace.
At first, it felt awkward.
But over time, these affirmations became my truth. I began to see myself as a writer, not just someone trying to write.
Visualising My Ideal Writing Life
One of the most powerful techniques I used was visualisation.
I imagined myself a successful writer — my articles being widely shared, my books on shelves, and my words impacting lives.
I would close my eyes and picture myself typing effortlessly, the ideas flowing freely. I imagined the emails and comments from readers thanking me for sharing insights that helped them.
This mental exercise wasn’t just a daydream.
It became a blueprint for my actions.
If I wanted to live that vision, I needed to write every day.
Visualisation motivated me to show up at my desk, even when writing felt like an uphill battle.
Focusing on Gratitude
One of the critical elements of the law of attraction is gratitude.
Instead of lamenting writer’s block or low readership, I started to appreciate the small victories.
When a single reader commented on my post, I celebrated it.
When I wrote 500 words daily, I felt grateful for the progress.
I kept a journal listing three things I was grateful for in my writing journey each day.
This practice shifted my focus from what I lacked to what I had.
It reminded me that every step was part of the journey, no matter how small.
Surrounding Myself with Inspiration
Another technique I embraced was surrounding myself with inspiration. I followed writers on social media who shared their journeys and struggles. Their stories made me realise that even the best writers face challenges. I read books and articles that resonated with me, paying attention to the style, tone, and structure.
I also curated an environment that sparked creativity.
I added plants to my workspace, played soft instrumental music, and lit scented candles during writing sessions.
These small changes made the act of writing something I looked forward to.
Taking Inspired Action
The law of attraction doesn’t mean sitting back and waiting for the universe to deliver your dreams.
It requires action.
I started taking inspired action once I had the mindset, visualisation, and gratitude.
For me, this meant writing consistently.
I set a goal to write 500 words daily, whether for my blog, Medium, or personal journaling.
Some days, the words flowed effortlessly; others were a struggle.
But I showed up. The more I wrote, the easier it became.
I was writing transformed from a chore into a habit.
Attracting Opportunities
As I continued my writing journey, I noticed opportunities began to appear.
My blog posts started gaining traction, and readers shared my work.
Invitations to speak and collaborate with others in the industry came in.
My belief in myself and consistent efforts were aligned with the opportunities I had visualised.
I also embraced feedback as part of this journey. Instead of feeling disheartened by criticism, I saw it as a chance to grow.
The law of attraction doesn’t guarantee perfection but teaches you to see every experience as a stepping stone toward your goals.
Trusting the Process
The most important lesson I learned was to trust the process.
Writing is a journey, and every writer’s path is unique.
I stopped comparing myself to others and focused on my progress.
The law of attraction helped me develop patience.
I realised that the seeds I planted would grow in their own time.
Now, as I look back, I can see how far I’ve come.
Writing has become a joy, not just a task.
I’ve connected with readers, shared my thoughts, and found my voice.
And all of this started with a simple belief: I am a writer.
Your Journey Begins Now
If you’ve ever felt stuck as a writer, try applying the law of attraction.
Start by believing in yourself and visualising your success.
Embrace gratitude and take consistent action.
Surround yourself with inspiration and trust the process.
Writing isn’t about being perfect; it’s about showing up, expressing yourself, and connecting with others.
Every time I write, I remind myself of the power of this mindset.
It has made me a better writer and a more fulfilled individual.
And if it worked for me, it can work for you, too.
