As a writer, I often look at the small things in life as part of a story that could be told. This thought process usually occurs when I'm listening to a song, and something in the lyrics feels like it belongs in a written story. My brain starts to make connections and extrapolating then gives me something that needs to be written.
Recently, I have been listening to one song's chorus on repeat. I know there is a story in there, but I haven't quite figured out what it is. This struggle sometimes locks up the creative part of me for a day or more. This is where leg day often finds its way into the equation.
I know far too many creative people that put off physical training. Exercise is a fantastic thing. Not only does it strengthen the body but it strengthens the mind as well. For creatives, maintaining a balance between mental and physical training is paramount. Physical exercise allows the creative to slow down and focus on their breathing and the form of their glutes. It's like meditation, but more American. In this trance, the brain is able to juggle the myriad of inputs it received in the last few days and bridge connections. Once the brain puts one and one together, it connects the lyrics in the chorus to a news article I read earlier and how great my glutes look then puts a character in a situation the is influenced by both.
After you discover the story you've been looking for, feel free to examine how marvelous your glutes are. - Cheers.
