How to overcome writer's block

We work in states. Mornings are filled with fresh ideas. Day time with workload. Night with Netflix. But in all times, whether hard or easy, we are able to move that keeps us afloat the life's wheel.

Just like we control our emotional states that are independent of the circumstances. Our brains also gather incentives, and brings them to its own advantage. You got to make your brain work in sync with your body.

If you are finding it difficult to find an idea that you can write about— bring out your inner frustration, anger or awkwardness. The anger and frustration, will put forth a list of topics you can write about.

But if you are sitting sober, nothing frustrating or no losses, you will only be writing a good dictionary page. That will hardly have a point and will be nothing, but another boring blog post.

1 — Trigger the Pain inside you

Find your motive. If you never failed, become a Failure. Start a new initiative, market it, and make sure it turns into your humiliation.

The Failure, or thinking about failures, triggers the pain you have hid deep inside. It brings out the real you. One who is not afraid of losing reputation.

All writers, artists, great singers, poets and painters, put a story into their work. The story has a meaning. It always is an honest expression of anger. Stories always end with a precise solution statement.

When you open your heart to the audience for evaluation and judgement — it makes finding ideas for your next article easier.

Lesson —

Express yourself openly, without worrying about the repercussions or results.

2 — Always Start even when you feel you are dull and dead

I was reading a blog post, where the author mentions all mantras, life coaches, todo lists and motivational speeches have one thing in common — they provoke you to take the first step.

It means, you do not need the coach to find the good idea to write about. It only demands, taking the first step. Picking up the pen, looking towards it and start moving your hands.

Slowly you will have a baseline sketch, that you can use to build the skeleton upon and finally you will be in your Flow State to decorate its interiors, fonts, flow and colors.

Taking the first step is the secret to nearly all good things. The first step to all kinds of difficult works, is the only difficult part of the work. As you take this first step, you are in, water is over your head, you are lost in your brain and you are now writing like you love to write.

3 — Keep your living organised

Writing does not come from good vocabulary and better education. It comes from experiences. You do not manage to build experiences around you, unless you clean the inside out of your own soul.

Lift your standard of living, enforce clear lines and restrictions, and you will be riding smooth to your Productivity Zone.

Build in an organised way of living. You sleep on time and you wake up early. The best time of the day is meant to be noise-less, interruption less and burden-less. I find it in my mornings. Everyone is sleeping and I am open to bringing all kinds of ideas to sketches.

If you want to start writing, I suggest, do it in the morning. After you meditate and you are now sailing fine in your thoughts. Put your thoughts on a paper, punch its title above it, download a nice image from Unsplash and publish it on Medium.

You will be ok — after some time. As the dreadful and difficult phase of building the hobby is over, you will be finding yourself at a relatively cleaner, productive and calm place.

Conclusion

Living has to be Fun. Fun does not come with out maintaining the Focus. And Focus demands leap of faith, trusting your inner guts and taking the big sure-death jump of your life.

Writing blogs is a hobby for you. It is exactly like building mental muscles or putting your body into shape. All hobbies are boring in the beginning, but as you start putting it into practice, things start making sense.

Slowly you grow audience. It turns into a monetary benefit. And you can liberate yourself of shackles of fake smiles, weird late night gatherings and absurd thoughts.

Take the first step. Make it hit the floor hard. Every morning, funnel your thoughts on a piece of paper. Write without worrying about your image, results and analytical figures.

Just write, because other than picking a pen and making it move on paper, there really is no way to start.
