Writing from a place of c a l m . . .
BLOG SESSION
July 2017
Good Afternoon Blog Readers, Followers & Visitors, we are here for another fabulous Blog Session. Today we are going to talk about writing from a place of "c a l m".
When you are writing your short stories, Novels, or other creative writings, you must learn how to write from a place of calm. In order to do this, you must tune yourself down from the hyper activity of the day.
We have so much going on in our daily lives that we have to make sure that we are in a place of calm when it comes to our writing. When we write from a place of calm then we will find that our writing flows freely and clearly.
Imagine that you are filled with hundreds of activities from your day ~ telephone conversations, internet activity, emails, work-related tasks, family issues, personal circumstances, and unexpected situations that pop up from time to time -- vehicle issues, home repairs, daily chores ~ doing the lawn, cooking, cleaning, straightening out papers and records, and on and on. If you were to Journal your daily activities from beginning to end, you would be very surprised at the amount of items that are in your day to day life.
If you do not meditate on a daily basis, you should try doing so. Stress is a build up of overwhelming activities and issues that are happening to you on a daily basis.
Take time to Meditate Daily
Pressure or tension comes from being in a state of mental or emotional strain. The tension that many of us feel is a result of having adverse or very demanding circumstances in our life. We have to learn how to eliminate all things in our life that are demanding of our time or attention and serve no real purpose.
Another way to get into a place within yourself that brings about "calm", is to get ahead of all of your projects and activities, and not let your projects and activities get ahead of you.
Please make a note in your Journals about the medical definition of stress:
Stress: In a medical or biological context stress is a physical, mental, or emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension. Stresses can be external (from your environment, psychological, or social situations) or internal (illness, or from a medical procedure).
Take a moment to get your Journal out . . .
Journal Notes
Make a Note of all of the things that are going on in your life that could possibly be sources of stress and tension. Number the items that come to your mind . . .
1) Dealing with a relative's illness
2) Work demands
3) Co-workers or employees that cause problems
4) Any medical issues that you have personally
5) Taking care of pets
6) Financial demands
7) Children in school and their activities
8) Too much noise on a daily basis
9) Too much talk on a daily basis
10) Too many meetings; events; and/or activities
Then make a list of what you can do to eliminate some of the items on your list. For instance, can someone else in the family help with your relative's doctor visits or getting their medicines? Is there any way to downsize on your work demands? Are there ways that you can not be closely associated with co-workers or employees that cause problems? Are you taking good care of yourself, and if not, why not? Is there anyone else who can help you with the care of your pets? Are you working on your financial demands with the help of a Financial Planner? Do you have help with your children and their activities, and if not, can you find help? Is there a way for you to cut down on your daily in-take of noise and talk in your life? Is there a way to cut down on the amount of meetings, events, or activities that you currently have going on?
Another way for you to get into a place of "calm" is to listen to calming meditations or music in the privacy of your home or car, or with your head phones. You can also listen on your lunch breaks at work . . .
