Five ways I raise my vibrations meme

Meme from Womagwriter -- thanks! :-)

Five ways I raise my vibrations:

1. Take a shower. For some reason, my best ideas come to me in the shower. Washing my hair seems particularly good (maybe it's something to do with warm water on the scalp, I dunno.)

2. Get moving. I get edgy and irritable if I've not had any exercise, a bit like a small and yappy puppy that needs walking ... Usually, a cycle ride sorts it.

3. Tidy my desk. I work better when I don't feel cluttered (and when I can find things like envelopes and competitions guidelines).

4. Read motivational blogs. I'm particularly into Steve Pavlina's Personal Development for Smart People and recently discovered an excellent blog called Path to Your Destiny.

5. Drink tea from my Shakespeare mug. My mum gave me the mug last Easter, and I always have my "writing" cuppa in it -- so it's become a great cue to put me in the writing mood. If I don't feel like writing, I make tea in the Shakespeare mug and then I have to write.

All very mundane, really, I feel I should've come up with something more writerly but those are what I actually do! I'll tag Sam next...
