Think of your writer’s block as an actual BLOCK: a square, a box, a cube. In nature, there are no right angles. And yet, we sit ourselves in box-shaped rooms, in cubical buildings, staring at square computer screens, and wonder why we can’t write creatively. To “think outside the box,” you must sit outside the box. This meditation takes you outside and into nature to help enhance your observational skills, connect you to the big picture, and give your creativity a boost. Hint: if the weather outside is frightful, feel free to use a houseplant for this meditation.
