How to love the things you hate about you, with author, Anneliese Knop Artwork

The Mindful Writer

There is a lot of shared wisdom on the craft of writing and how to market our books but not so much on the inner journey. I imagine us all climbing a mountainous hill, a winding path with stopping places to rest. There are some creatives that have journeyed ahead of us and some who follow in our tracks. We support one another: a helping hand, words of encouragement, reflections on how far we have come. This podcast is to help writers on that journey – the inner journey, as we experience the highs and lows of a writer’s life together.Each week I chat with a guest exploring the psychological, emotional, and spiritual journey they have experienced as a writer, the lessons they have learnt – and are continuing to learn. We are part of creation, works in progress, striving to become our best self and fulfil our potential. As I talk to other writer’s and reflect on my own experience, I hope to discover how we might find abundance in our creative pursuits, achieving our goals the mindful way.

How to love the things you hate about you, with author, Anneliese Knop

March 08, 2023 • Deborah Klee, Anneliese Knop • Season 2 • Episode 8

Each week I chat with a guest exploring the psychological, emotional, and spiritual journey they have experienced as a writer, the lessons they have learnt – and are continuing to learn.

As I talk to other writer’s and reflect on my own experience, I hope to discover how we might find abundance in our creative pursuits, achieving our goals the mindful way.

In this episode I chat with Annaliese Knop, author and blogger. Anneliese writes fantasy with co-author Galadriel Coffeen and her blog, Look on the Dark Side, gives a fascinating account of her life with seeing dog, Greta. Anneliese was born with a genetic degenerative retinal condition, but this has not limited her in any way. She quotes:

‘Where is it written that all our dreams must be small?’

In this episode Anneliese explains:

· Toxic Positivity

· Toxic Perfectionism

· Why we should love the things we hate about ourselves

· Why dog owners and their dogs might benefit from couple's counselling
