Acting as if.

As a professional, we are expected to show up even if, or especially when, we don’t feel like it.

In that moment, it may feel inauthentic to do our work with intent.

It might make sense to us to wait until we feel better, more in the zone.

But that never works.

What works is to act as if.

To act as if you are feeling like it, to act as if you are an actor pretending to be a writer, a creative, a professional.

When you act as if, soon you will realise that you also feel like it.
