Daily writing can help gather the thoughts in your head, giving clarity as needed. Daily meditation, on the other hand, will keep you in control of those thoughts. Together, they’re good habits to acquire.

However, there’s another habit that acts as a precursor to both. It’s one upon which writing depends and meditation is needed, but slowly slipping away from our constant stimulated world.

That’s the habit of just getting lost in your thoughts.

Let your mind go and allow it to wander as it will, ignoring the impulse to alleviate what you may perceive to be boredom. Your mind needs to relax and be free.

Writing will give you clarity.
Meditation will give you focus.
A wandering mind, however, will give you creativity.
