Being Mindfulness
Becoming Mindfulness may be an alternative to a writer block.
Your mind will wander. As you practice paying attention to what’s going on in your body and mind at the present moment, you’ll find that many thoughts arise. Your mind might drift to something that happened yesterday, meander to your to-do list — your mind will try to be anywhere but where you are. But the wandering mind isn’t something to fear, it’s part of human nature and it provides the magic moment for the essential piece of mindfulness practice — the piece that researchers to new ideas: the moment when you recognize that your mind has wandered. Because if you can notice that your mind has wandered, then you can consciously bring it back to the present moment. The more you do this, the more likely you are to be able to do it again and again. And that beats walking around on autopilot any day (ie: getting to your destination without remembering the drive, finding yourself with your hand in the bottom of a chip bag you only meant to snack a little from, etc.)
I know every single writer has struggle with a write’s block during his or her career. Writer Block is a condition in which a skilled writer find himself or herself unable to write. Mindfulness can help be creative and knock down writer’s block.
