To overcome writer's block, step outside and observe the first thing you see in nature, like a tree or a flower, then commit to writing one full page about it. This action reconnects with the organic world, triggering parts of the brain developed over millions of years. The connection to nature can unlock internal creativity. By exploring the natural world, creativity is reignited, making it easier to express thoughts. Instead of reading about overcoming writer's block, the simple act of observing and writing about nature is a powerful tool. On the other hand, the speaker wishes for more time to read books deeply. Books represent the time one hopes to have to delve into them entirely. Despite lacking sufficient time, the speaker's favorite aspect of their job is understanding the narratives within narratives. They view life not merely as a job description but as an ecosystem of stories, mythologies, and creativity. By tending to this creative ecosystem with care and love, viewing it as a living entity, the speaker expresses a deeper appreciation and understanding of their work and avoids frustration with the process.
