✅ Mantra Matrix: Meditate the Blues Away: Stand Up
The best way to write is to NOT to write: meditate instead, procrastinating the blues away by stretching, by smiling, and by becoming rays of SunShine: SHINE!
1. Breathe in deeply, for 3 seconds: Forgive yourself for not knowing what to write about, love yourself, and be yourself. Smile!
2. Breathe out deeply, for 6 seconds: Let it go, that idea that you can’t write anything today! SMILE Big time!
3. Hold your breath for 3 seconds: Smile for a long time! BELIEVE in yourself, for you are a great writer.
Repeat again, release it, and reawaken your faith in your creativity, so REPEAT at least 3 times, cycles of 10 times can be healing too.

Walk around and breathe in deeply, move your booty, and smile a lot, so you are ready to mind travel to Planet X as a way to fighting writer’s block, like a hip hop artist, do not move the hands; instead, have them touching your sides.
1. Sliding the right foot forward, do not lifting it off the ground, 3 seconds, floating, you are orbiting planet X: Let’s go! SMILE Big time!
2. Sliding the left foot forward 6 seconds: not lifting up, breathing out: Landing on Planet X. Let go of the Negativity!
3. Looking left and right, about 3 seconds: holding the breath. Dancing electric and exploring the Brave New world, seeing is BELIEVING!
Repeat again, “Zen Walking for Yogi Masters,” reawaken your creativity. REPEAT at least 3 times. . . Even a cycle of 10 times is reward.
What are other pre-writing exercises that you do?
Share in the comment, for I practice yoga, K-pop dancing, and martial artist, so I am waiting. . .
✅ Thank you for reading this. . . ✅
These are prewriting exercises to make your relax, so remember a Yogi master from India entered the Shaolin temple and taught warriors how to relax and the birth of the most feared fighters was created, when the Manchu took over China, they burnt down every single Shaolin Temple.
✅ I have practiced martial arts for over half a century, and I have never lost a fight; indeed, many karate masters avoid fighting me because they see how relaxed I am.
Zen creativity is born from the emptiness of nothingness, so you are already a grand master of writing, and you didn’t know it, . . .
. . . time to begin writing grasshopper.
