A Gift For You
By Katie Yeakle

2024 was another year with challenges for most of us.

Personally, I’ve been so grateful I could lean on my AWAI family …

That includes my amazing business partner Rebecca … the entire (and awesome) AWAI staff … and all our inspiring AWAI members — including YOU.

Whether we’ve exchanged emails, engaged on social media, or chatted on a webinar …

Or even if we’ve never met or spoken before …

I want you to know how much your trust in AWAI has uplifted me.

In that spirit, I have a very special gift for you … one that I also lean on and highly recommend — especially around the holiday season … .

 … it’s Accessing the Writer Within, our exclusive meditation program for writers.

It was created by Dr. Annette Annechild, who has helped celebrities, movie stars, and even Olympians successfully face their fears and overcome personal obstacles.

As a writer herself and the author of 10 books, Annette has developed her own brand of guided meditation to help writers move past their “blocks.”

Go through the program and use the meditations, and you’ll find yourself getting into “flow” faster … silencing your inner critic … and ignoring distractions while you’re writing.

It’s available for free here on our website.

Some may find meditation a little “woo-woo” …

But I’ve experienced these benefits and more since I began meditating.

When I take a few moments to slow down and follow Annette’s simple prompts, my mind unclutters, I gain a sense of calm, I can write more freely, and I accomplish more.

If you’ve never tried meditating, or you’ve never stuck with it, I hope you give this a shot.

I believe it will make a positive difference for you.

And if you already have your own practice, I encourage you to incorporate these short meditations into your routine.

You can access them here.

Again, thank you for being part of the AWAI family and for trusting us to help you achieve your writing dreams.

And on behalf of all of us at AWAI, I wish you and your loved ones a joyous, peaceful holiday season.
