My Top 5 Writing Tools
January 6, 2012 8 Comments
I have been wanting to do this post for a while and share what I use to do some of my writing and blog posts.
Here are my top 5 tools and instruments for writing!
1. Music
Music is an absolute must when I am writing.
I need to have something to have my mind flowing and in a positive state. This is easily achieved through putting on my Bose AE-2 headphones on full volume and tuning out of the outside world. It gives my mind a chance to go completely nuts and spit out anything that I have stored in the back of it.
The type of music doesn’t matter.
What matters is that you enjoy the music and it is putting you in a good mood. When I am in a good positive mood and writing, it doesn’t feel like I am writing, it is more a flow state of my fingers hitting the keys and words being produced in a well structured fashion.
If you don’t feel like that when you are writing, you are not writing in a state of your full potential.
Blast some music and just have at it. Don’t expect anything.
Just write.
2. Coffee
I need some stimulation to get all of my thoughts out quick and easy.
Coffee is a big help due to the caffeine contained in coffee.
I choose coffee because I like the taste and the hot temperature tends to wake my brain up.
Caffeine releases dopamine in your brain which gives you more motivation, focus and drive.
I take a lot of other supplements as well.

3. Meditation
Meditating right before I write lets me explore every single angle of what I am about to write about.
It is a great feedback method and a way to formulate my thoughts before I sit down to pound them out.
I have a lot of articles written on meditation if you would like to explore the amazing practice:

The Power of The Subconscious Mind
The Power of Positive Thinking
4. Marijuana
The ultimate creativity tool.
If you have any objection to pot, and you believe it is a harmful substance, you have been misinformed and lied to.
It simply isn’t.
I am not going to lie, a majority of this site and my writing was created and written while under the influence of marijuana.
I guess it makes me lazy and not want to do anything…
I even work out on pot.
Paranoia? It’s an illusion. Check out this video.
Pathetic propaganda you have been conditioned with.
Try these three easy steps to live the ZazenLife we live.
Probably one of the best supplements I take.
Alpha Brain is a nootropic which basically means it is a brain enhancing supplement full of great vitamins and minerals

I hope you try some of my tools and ideas out and give writing a shot if you aren’t already interested in it.
It is a great way to release your thoughts, express yourself, and share what you have to say with the world.
I am going to keep doing it, and I encourage you to as well!
