A while ago I started getting burned out because of a daily writing habit.

But writing helps me connect with my thoughts and feelings.

And it allows me to express myself in a more authentic and meaningful way.

So I wanted to go back to writing daily so badly.

Then I found a simple practice that changed my writing game.

It’s a practice that involves focusing your attention on the present moment while you’re writing.

Here’s what you need to do.

• Choose a quiet and distraction-free space to write.
• Set a timer for 15–20 minutes.
• Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.
• Bring your attention to the present moment.
• Start writing whatever comes to mind, without judgment.
• Don’t worry about spelling, grammar, or punctuation.
• Just keep writing until the timer goes off.
