Exercise Your Brain

Written by Krista Johnson -- June 3rd, 2008 in Copywriting

In a rut, or need a pick me up? Maybe need some advice to get your clock tickin’?! Well, here are some pointers on how to get the ball rolling, even when you’re bat’s not a-movin’.

First things first…we need to stretch before we go into full-blown work-out. To warm-up our mental energies, lets start out with some basic stretches. I like to suggest to start out by giving my fingers a workout and write down all and any thoughts that pop into my mind. This strategy gives both my mind and my fingers a thorough run around the block and preps them for full-on exercise. I also like to stretch my imagination out further by creatively writing from the warm-up brainstorming activity and producing out-of-mind content that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Secondly, we need to ease into our workout. In saying so, I like to pick a couple of my brainstorming ideas and transform them into slightly different forms. In content writing, as is with physical exercise, it is a necessity to thoroughly warm up so that when we progress into full-fledged workout, we will not strain ourselves. In this warm up phase, I like to tamper with my abilities to write poetry, science fiction, and any other forms that I am unfamiliar with.

And lastly, we find that we have burst into a head-to-toe sweating workout. During the tail-end of this workout, we must sprint to the finish line. As a way to correlate this sprinting to our writing, think about it as a writer completing a work, proofreading their content, and spending a lot of time editing their piece as to create the perfect workout. So when it comes to reaching the end of both races, all the necessary muscles and body functions will be completed with a well worthy payoff.

So at no expense to you, performing these exercises will both strengthen your body and also strengthen your mind!!
