We sometimes have to get out of our own way. Too much conscious thinking about anything will become a source of stress; it makes us anxious and over-cautious as the fear piles up.

Self Improvement

Use them to support your body, your emotions, and your intellect. For this to happen, make sure you:
<ul>
<li>sleep well</li>
<li>eat nutritiously and intentionally</li>
<li>exercise</li>
<li>read and find intellectual stimulation</li>
<li>connect with others</li>
<li>do things that excite you and give life meaning</li>
<li>live your values.</li>
</ul>

Get into daily rituals

It helps you in the process of developing the right mindset of a writer. Journaling makes you reflect on your life, imagine future possibilities, and you get to play with words because this is also a writing exercise.

Get into journaling

Creativity takes a lot of energy and requires a great deal of recuperation. Make sure you take time to:
<ul>
<li>Be with your loved ones</li>
<li>Read</li>
<li>Enjoy movies and listen to music</li>
<li>Move (be it dance, walk, cycling, etc.)</li>
<li>Cook and eat healthily</li>
<li>Daydream.</li></ul>These activities will restore your energy and nurture you.

Rest and recuperate

Change your inner world

For flow to happen, we need:
<ul>
<li>Intrinsic motivation and goals</li>
<li>Feedback</li>
<li>A good and balanced mix of challenge, skills and confidence.</li>
</ul>

Focus on the art of being
