Julia Van Der SluysWriting a book isn’t just about putting words on a page—it’s about stepping into something bigger. It’s a process of transformation, not just for your readers but for you as the author. Your book is a portal. A doorway to self-discovery, new opportunities, and connections you never expected.
You might start with a simple idea, a spark, or a nudge from the universe, but once you commit to the process, things start shifting. Writing a book calls in fresh energy. It deepens your self-awareness, attracts new people into your world, and often leads to paths you hadn’t considered before.
Here’s how you can harness the power of your book as a portal to new possibilities:
1. Write with Openness
Rather than forcing your book into a rigid structure, allow it to evolve naturally. Sometimes, what you set out to write isn’t what the book wants to be. Stay open to where the process takes you—you might discover new themes, ideas, or even a different message than you originally intended.
Action Tip: Free-write for 10 minutes about what you think your book is about. Then ask yourself, “What else wants to come through?” and write for another 10 minutes. See what surprises you.
2. Follow the Energy
When writing excites you, that’s a clue you’re on the right path. When it feels heavy or forced, maybe there’s something deeper to explore. Your book will guide you if you let it.
Action Tip: If you’re feeling stuck, switch things up. Try writing in a different space, changing your topic for the day, or speaking your words aloud instead of typing.
3. See Your Book as a Bridge
Your book isn’t just words—it’s an invitation. It can lead to speaking gigs, collaborations, courses, or even a completely new career direction.
Action Tip: Ask yourself, “Where could this book take me?” Write a list of ways your book could expand into workshops, podcasts, or other creative outlets.
4. Trust the Unexpected Opportunities
Writing a book has a way of aligning you with the right people, places, and moments. Pay attention to the synchronicities. The people who suddenly reach out. The ideas that drop in. Trust that your book is opening doors, even before it’s published.
Action Tip: Keep a journal of unexpected opportunities that arise while writing. You might be amazed at the magic unfolding.
Your book is more than a book—it’s a catalyst. A turning point. A portal to a new version of you. Step through it and see what’s waiting on the other side!!!
