Yes here I am again with this dreaded writers block. It seems just as you find your on a flow this thing called writers block steps in and holts your progress.

I am now finding that if I want to get back into the flow of writing I am just going to have to adopt the concept of the warrior and the pen or as the Nike logo would say Just Do It!

I suppose when I look back and analyze this thing called writers block it is an accumulation of my own imaginary fear’s of failure and the perception of having to be perfect every time I make an attempt to create new content for a new post or article.

Time now to follow my own advice and apply some straggic measures to over come this writers block.

1) Do 20mins of Tai Chi and resume writing.

2) Go for at least an hours walk around the block.

3) Listen to an inspirational sound track.

4) Watch an inspirational DVD.

5) Go make a cake !!!

6) Go wash the car.

7) Get egg timer out and set for 20 mins while writing. Only answer phone when 20 mins is up.

8) Have a reminder on the wall that say’s “No body is perfect”.

Something To Shout About!

How many times have you had something to shout about?

Well today I came home from the office and went through my usual ritual of attempting to write a blog post.  Only to find myself coming into collision with the dreaded writers road block.  Took time out and did 20 minutes of Tai Chi.  I came back with my mind fully focused and ready to go.
