Have you ever gotten stuck when working on a creative project? What do you do when your work grinds to a halt? Here’s an idea: spend 10 or 15 minutes every morning doing a type of meditation where you write down whatever is going through your mind. Don’t judge. Don’t punctuate. Just record your thoughts without stopping until you have written three pages. Let your ideas rise to the surface. The goal is to witness and articulate the mystery, not to control your mind. This book described this technique in 1992, and it continues to be rediscovered by new generations.
