If you have been following this blog, you probably wondered what has happened to the almost daily posts. Well, there have been a few interruptions, the weather got nicer, the Yankees have been playing better, illness, life in general, but basically, I got stuck in a procrastination loop. It didn’t bother me all that much since I had a decent backlog of posts but I wanted to get back to you all with the why and what I am doing about it. One day I was in my truck listening to a Podcast:
Episode WCP214 “Cultivate Flow”
By Rebecca L. Weber
From Jan 18 2023
In it, she mentioned some methods of actively creating situations for optimizing your creative environment, physically and mentally. Mostly common-sense tips like finding a comfortable spot to work, and minimal distractions etc. but it led me to finding a book by Dr Madhu Bazaz Wangu
In the book, she combines Mindfulness, Walking in Nature, Journaling, and Meditation. Arousing (hopefully) your brain into an optimal creative state via a year-long daily set of Practice, Inspiration, and Journal Prompts. I’m on my second day, and I find it easy enough. I have been practicing meditation for years, and I walk every day that I can. The best thing is that it has made me sit down and write, something I’ve been missing. Onward!
