Defeat writer’s block to:

become prolific

promote your peace of mind

You can do it. Put writer’s block largely in your past. Follow these 10 tips to cure writer’s block.

1: Meditate

Meditate.

Be with the feeling of writer’s block to face, embrace and release the idea.

Writer’s block is a mental block. This energy dissolves if you become fully aware of the limiting idea.

Meditating expands your awareness.

Meditate in a quiet spot for 5 to 20 minutes daily. Do not overreach. Begin with 5 minutes. Add increments to gradually expand your awareness.

Follow your breathing. Trace the inflow and outflow of breath through your nostrils.

Relax.

If your attention wanders just note the object of the attention – a thought, feeling, memory, or desire – and move your attention back to your breathing.

2: Write 1,000 Words Daily

Write 1,000 words daily – or more – to slay writer’s block.

Develop a writing habit to write habitually. Writing habitually cures writer’s block.

Form a habit through diligent practice. The habit eventually acts through its own momentum.

Write daily to nudge through mental blocks. Sit in front of a computer. Open a Word document. Write. Cover any topic. Being a prolific writer means strengthening your writing muscle daily. Strong writers rarely fall prey to writer’s block.

3: Exercise Daily

Exercising daily promotes energy flow throughout your body.

An energetic block – like writer’s block – cannot reside in a free-flowing stream of energy.

Walk for 40 minutes daily. Take a stroll around your block. You do not need to be an Olympic athlete to exercise. Simply move. Get going. Increase energy flow within your body.

Do push ups or sit ups. Promote energy flow to dissipate fears related to writer’s block. Exercising is a simple way to increase your prolific nature because basic movements dislodge energies fueling writing limiting beliefs.

Walking around your house for a few moments does the trick sometimes. Move. Allow your energy to flow. Be a free-flowing writer by moving along fears courtesy of moving your body for a bit.

Before following this tip just check with your doctor if you haven’t exercised recently.

4: Read Voraciously

Read both fiction and non-fiction voraciously to assail writer’s block.

Most prolific bloggers read religiously to expose themselves to creative ideas.

Reading stokes your creative energies, supplying you with an endless flow of blog post ideas.

Read for 10-30 minutes daily. Develop a reading habit to put writer’s block behind you. Feast on the written word to write words with greater ease. Avid readers become skilled writers through osmosis.

5: Write in Silence

Reduce all distractions. Tuning into distractions like the TV or your phone creates noise. Noise tends to enhance writer’s block.

Imagine attempting to write blog posts being beset by a frenzied mind? Meditating helps to quiet your mind but writing in quiet further enhances your writing skills.

Isolate yourself from all forms of stimuli. Some writers feel prolific by listening to music but many write freely in silence. Being in quiet tends to silence inner negative chatter. Remove sensory overload to quiet the chatter.

Find a quiet room. Shut the door. Let ideas gracefully flow from silence to your mind to your fingers to your keyboard.

6: Take Short Breaks

Take a 5 to 10 minute break from writing on the hour.

Writer’s block is a force-filled energy created by tense, anxious, worried writers.

Pull back. Walk for a few minutes. Take 10 deep breaths.

Step away from your laptop to renew your mind.

Then…..write.

Give yourself a break on the hour. Relax.

7: Perceive Writer’s Block Accurately

Writer’s block is an idea.

An idea is a bunch of squiggly little energy waves in your mind.

Will you allow a bunch of little itty bitty energy waves to dam your creative powers?

Bloggers often lend an intimidating power to these tiny little waves of energy.

But the waves are wimps and you are unlimited power.

Release the teeny energy waves. Dissolve writer’s block.

8: Study Prolific Writers

Study prolific writers. Follow their ways. Embody their habits.

Writers who publish a high volume of quality work clue you in.

World renowned author John Grisham wrote for a short period daily even during his busy days as a lawyer.

Prolific writers leave clear clues. Observe these pros in action. Do as prolific writers do. Dissolve writer’s block as they dissolved writer’s block.
