Writer's Block Remedies

Don’t you just hate writer’s block? You sit there thinking, “any minuet now my muse will come to me.” Well, you don’t always have time to wait around for inspiration so here are a few tricks that will help kick start your creativity:

1. Listen to classical music.
Studies show that classical music with 60 beats per minuet such as Mozart, Beethoven, Handel and Vivaldi slow brain waves to the relaxed alpha frequency associated with calm and awareness so when you are listening you tap into your creativity.

2. Eat foods rich in vitamin B6 (pyridoxine).
B6 stimulates the cerebral cortex-that's the brain region responsible for solving problems and visual information. Eating foods such leafy greens, lean beef, and potatoes can help to get the creative juices flowing.

Next time you're having writer's block put on some Mozart and have a salad.
