Strategies to combat mental malaise

Reminder to self:

When the brain begins to stiffen
Like a muscle too rarely flexed
And thoughts flow all too slowly
As if they have been hexed

There are some things that I can do
To make the synapses spark
I’ll compile the list right here, right now
And note it with a bookmark.

The following things usually help clear blocks:

* Read (language reference books, fun blogs, Luke Sullivan)

* Look at photos (especially of kids)

* Relocate to a new venue (outside is pretty much always best)

* Observe or immerse yourself in nature (see note above)

* Color (with Crayola products of course)

* Add music to the work place (jazz, groovy 70s, or Euro-dance depending on the work/client)

* Attempt poetry

(feel free to add to the list)
