Show Yourself Compassion

Today is almost to the halfway point of writing your story or play. 

While the rough draft is being completed there are some important things to remember:

Be good to your mind and get out there and move or walk briskly for 30 minutes a day.  It not only strengthens the heart, it also gives the mind a boost of oxygen and generates creativity.  It helps you focus!  There are many ways to let go of inhibitions --using alcohol and drugs will not generate longevity to your writing.  Exercise the body and you exercise the mind. 

Relaxation techniques are also beneficial.  I recently started exercising the mind through meditation and it really works - it gets rid of the clutter and the racing thoughts.  There are some good leaders in this field and I found one in my yoga training. http://www.spiritube.com/jack-kornfield/meditation-for-beginners-video_257d59205.html  He is worth listening to --a great leader.

Also in my Yoga Journal this month was a wonderful article titled "Nuture the New You" it is about showing yourself kindness, compassion, and patience -- let your inner light shine.  As a writer it is important to cultivate a love for self!  Let your self shine.  http://www.yogajournal.com/

You can be a great writer when you embrace your originality!
