Meta Title: BTA Fridays™ – Breaking the Algorithm™: Author Self-Care for Indie Writers

Meta Description: In this BTA Fridays™ walk-and-talk, Kelly Morgan shares simple self-care practices—walking, yoga, meditation—that help indie authors avoid burnout and stay consistent.

Why Author Self-Care Matters

Being an indie author takes focus, energy, and resilience. Between writing, publishing, and promoting, it’s easy to slip into burnout. Self-care isn’t a break from the work—it’s what makes the work sustainable.

Walking and Talking with Sasha

Walking with Sasha isn’t just about exercise—it’s moving meditation. The fresh air clears my head, the rhythm of walking grounds me, and Sasha’s energy reminds me to enjoy the moment.

Three Simple Self-Care Practices for Writers

Walking with Sasha 🐾 — daily movement and outdoor time reset the mind.

Yoga or stretching — loosens tension and improves focus.

Quiet reflection — breathwork, prayer, or meditation for clarity and calm.

Avoiding Burnout as an Indie Author

Burnout disrupts creativity, slows publishing, and makes it harder to connect with readers. Prioritizing self-care helps indie authors:

Write with focus and flow.

Maintain publishing momentum.

Protect mental and emotional health.
