An Author in Everyone

I was standing in line at a grocer store and a woman behind me said she liked my dress and then told me how nice it was to see someone dressed coordinated. She asked why I was so dressed up and I told her I had just came from a speaking engagement.

Then she asked what I did for a living and I told her how I teach others to write, speak and the other entrepreneur skills.

She said “I’ve always wanted to write a book!”

I told her she could have the book done in six weeks and be creating a substantial income wihtin six months.

She told me she had just lost her teaching job in Oakland.

The I told her about my non profit school and maybe we should talk about whether the school might be an option for her.

Then she asked why I had talked to her and I just smiled and told her that my life is full of miracles every day. I just keep my eyes open and wait for the miracle to present itself. She just happened to be my miracle for the day!

We exchanged cards and I asked her to call me so we could explore the possibilities.

Guess what? She did!

Writer’s Block

Have you ever cleared your schedule and sat down for a planned session of writing only to find you had writer’s block? It happens to everyone and it’s very challenging. What do you suppose stops someone from being able to write when they want to write? Is it the pressure of having a deadline or having to perform?
The reason isn’t as important as the solution, but when you know the reason, you are able to find a solution to overcome it and not have it stopping you when you’re all primed to write!
I am the quintessential info junkie and consummate knowledge seeker!
I took a few Akihito classes over the years and in one of the classes the instructor talked about reversing the control of the left or right brain. Typically every reverses which side of their brain is dominant about every 90 minutes. But if you’re writing a creative piece and you’re in your left brain, you can’t write creatively when your in your left brain.
As well as, you can’t write a logical piece if you are in your right brain.
So the way you can control this is first, hold your index finger against the right nostril. Then blow out freely. Make a note as to the amount of air that is flowing. Then, hold index finger against the left nostril. Whichever has the most free air is the opposite side of the brain that is dominant at the moment. If the right nostril has more free air, you are now in your left brain or analytical brain. If the left nostril has more free air, you are now in your right brain or creative brain.
To switch to the other side, locate the gland about halfway across your collar bone, you’ll recognize it when you apply pressure and feel slight discomfort or tenderness. It doesn’t matter which side you use, but apply your thumb and in a circular motion starting at 12 o’clock or straight up, rotate towards your left shoulder, then down and then towards the right shoulder. Continue for about a minute.
Then recheck to see if the airflow has switched to the other side. Now you know how to control which side of your brain is dominant.
Of course if you have a cold, sinuses or need to have nose surgery, this won’t work but maybe you could try it on someone else! LOL
