Writer’s Block

I posted my first entry that I posted in the discussion board for my Development Communication subject in my previous post. Like what I mentioned, I had a hard time organizing my thoughts. I don’t know but for some reason, I feel that my mind is blank and I can’t start with even just a single word. I was telling my good friend Ems, that maybe, I had used my mind so much with blogging that is why I had nothing left when it is time for me to do some real serious writing. It took me days and a lot of reading before I was finally able to finish my post. And I even postponed posting it and I have to wait for the next day because I am not confident enough with what I have written.

So you know what I did to keep my mind working:

1. I prayed. I asked the big Man up there to help me be inspired and give me a clear mind since I really need to finish my paper because I have a deadline to meet.
2. I relax and played with my daughter first.
3. I also did some exercise. I have been complaining about my weight gain and my KettleWorx is my new best friend nowadays. (And did you know that I even got a Kettlebell for free which makes my purchase extra sweet). And after doing my exercise everyday, I just feel more relax.
4. I sleep. I haven’t been getting enough sleep lately because of my busy schedule but I realize I can’t absorb anything about what I am reading if I am so tired. So I decided to just slow down one night and sleep early instead of forcing myself to stay up late only to find out that I did not understand any single thing that I read the night before.

And I guess, my strategy work since I was able to finish my post for my discussion board and I was even early for the deadline.
