@Lord_Ra_Krishna on Focusing Your Attention from Negative to Positive #AmReading #Motivaltional

How do you work through self-doubts and fear?
Excellent question. First of all I turn to the most simplest action, to breathe. Concentrating on deep breaths and then meditation. Once I find balance within myself I utilize what is known in Hermetic philosophy and alchemy, as mental transmutation. All that basically means is to focus your attention from a negative point to a positive. For example if I’m feeling fear, instead of attempting to erase the fear I focus on courage and allow the courage to transmute the fear. The courage comes from my desire to inspire people.

What scares you the most?
Not being myself, and not being the self I have “evolved” into. Also not for filing my destiny.

What makes you happiest? 
I am already happy, you have to be happy from within first. Also making other people happy, seeing my children smile, seeing other people smile, seeing people happy when they “get it” or have an “AH-HA “ moment. Beautiful music, the ocean and some good “legal” medical marijuana.

What’s your greatest character strength?
Giving

What’s your weakest character trait?
Patience

Why do you write? 
I actually just like to create with words, in itself. However, the point of my writing is to share new ideas and create doubt.

What are you most proud of in your personal life? 
My children

"This “new age” book of poetry reflects the diverse views and philosophies of it’s author Ra Krishna EL. It’s an intimate, humorous and thought provoking group of poems intended to evoke strong emotion. To quote the German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, this style of poetry can be called “Zukunfts poesie“ which translates into “Poetry of the future”, where truly original ideas are presented thru poetry. Also known as post Nietzschean poetry.

It’s subjects include society, pop culture, love, religious dogma, God and the new age of Aquarius. This book was written and published during the false incarceration of its author in Chicago’s notorious Cook County Jail, the largest jail in the country."

Ewell Stewart duPont on Creating A Great Work Area For Inspiration #amwriting #amreading

Most authors at some point face writer’s block.  I think a sure fire way to avoid having writer’s block is to set up your work area for inspiration.  Always place yourself in a position to be inspired.  That will go a long way in the development of your writing skills.  Here are five great things that work for me.

Work in a well lit area.  Light affects the mood. So the more that you can be in direct sunlight or a very bright room the better.

Work with music.  Studies have shown that people write longer when they develop the habit of writing with music on.  The music has a calming effect and when you feel relaxed you are in a better position to write.

Work at a desk that is suitable for your body style.  Make sure your wrists are in a comfortable writing position.  Make sure that you desk is free of clutter.  This will make your writing environment more stress free. Be in a position to turn on an additional desk lamp if needed.

Work where you are free from distractions.  During your writing time turn the phone off.  Make sure to keep children and pets out of your working area to reduce the chances of you getting distracted.  Arrange your desk area so that you are not facing anything that would remind you of something else that you need to do.  For example don’t have bills on your writing desk.

Work where you are inspired.  Plaster your walls with words of inspiration.  Quotes, inspirational words and comments from people that have enjoyed your work can really brighten up your work-space.

These are really good tips that will keep your work area inspirational.  The more inspired that you are the more you will be able to write.

This classic collection of poems written by Ewell duPont is heart warming and inspirational. Ewell presents life lessons and outstanding values in each poem. They are for all generations to enjoy.
