The WALK-RWD system has the possibility of helping us to unblock that interruption in the flow of ideas that we suffer when we feel that we lack creativity in our artistic work.
Maybe I should have titled this post: THE BLOCKED ARTISTIC CREATOR AND THE WALKS, because what we call “mind-blocking” happens to all kinds of people and at all ages, in childhood, adolescence, maturity and old age. It is a lack of fluidity of ideas, images, thoughts, perceptions, intuitions, inventiveness, imaginations, inspirations, etc., and it does not only happen to writers and artists. Now, although the procedure we use in general is very similar, I have preferred to publish (write) another post exclusively for plastic creators (Future Post THE BLOCKED PLASTIC CREATOR AND THE WALK-RWD SYSTEM), since, for these cases, several points must be analyzed in greater detail.
Specifically, I recommend two courses of action to artistic creators (art creators, writers): the first one is that they have several simultaneous options (in parallel) in their work, that is, not only writing a novel, but 2 or 3, or another genre as an essay or poetry; the same for plastic artists, painting several works in an alternative way with the same or another technique (oil, pastel, acrylic, etc.) or sculptures, in such a way that they have other options of work, in case one of them is blocked, to move on to work on another one immediately; always alternating one and the other because the mind in that way is liberated and thus can be redirected in its creative processes.
This is very important because the mind gets stuck eventually, when you are doing the same work, for lack of creativity. And it is worse when we want to force it “rationally” to develop a work in which it no longer generates any creative process, or if there is a deadline for finishing it, either defined by the artist (writer) himself or by third persons. That is why, when we take away from our mind that conscious pressure of termination or forced creation, we free it by giving it other options of realization -or of termination-, the pressures are dissipated and we free it from the purely conscious rational forms, redirecting it in its normal ways of being prodigal in the creation of ideas and in the imagination.
Now, if we cannot count on several possibilities of simultaneous creative work (in parallel), then we will be able to use the alternative resource that is walking, and that never fails; most of the times even immediately.
We have expressed that mental creation is a factory-warehouse that we can be filling and emptying permanently, and that we can “make it efficient” through the process of reading-writing-drawing, while we walk. There is a force in this virtuous circle of reading-writing-drawing that propels our unconscious to recover part of what we have stored in our memory and that exposes it as graphic and mental images, so we would only have to accelerate that inner force. Post READING-WRITING-DRAWING: VIRTUOUS CIRCLE.
In this other line of action, I address writers – but it is similar, as I mentioned, for anyone else who has to develop creative activities – who feel blocked (paralyzed) in their creativity and artistic exercise and cannot continue writing their literary work; the only thing they have to decide is to go for a walk for a couple of miles during some days (3 or 4) carrying with them, in each walk, an interesting book, and related to the topic they are developing (novel, essay, etc.) ). Be willing to read a few pages during your walks and not forgetting a sufficient number of blank sheets of paper or a small notebook for notes, to restart and continue with your own work (Post THE WALK-RWD SYSTEM ENCOURAGES CREATIVE THINKING, PART I). During your walk and your reading, any word or phrase will cause you to redirect to your own document, unlocking it.
The steps are easy and concrete: 1) Get ready to walk, and do it, 2) Take a document with you and start reading it, 3) Concentrate on another author’s text or book, which will lead you to exclude your own document from your mind, and, 4) Continue this way until you achieve the unblocking.
I would like to clarify that for another type of artistic creation, the type of “document or instrument” that will accompany you during the walks should be analyzed, so that it is ideal and effective.
The system does not fail and you will never be alone again when you feel mentally blocked (paralyzed), as you can always resort to this method, as it will allow you to free your imagination, your creativity (creative facult) and your intuition.
For the unblocking, I wish to emphasize that it is not recommended that daily reading during the walks should be done on the same document that is being written, since it is rationalism and conscience that are obstinate and produce the blockage, but rather that texts, books or documents of other authors that are related to the theme or themes on which it is being written should be used.
In short, there are two ways of acting, which can be exercised, to avoid the blockage, and they are complementary:
1. Having several options of simultaneous artistic creation (in parallel), where the mind can freely choose which of them it feels more attracted to, productive and creative (idea creator), during the daily moments of creative work.
2. Start walking by reading, writing or drawing (WALK-RWD System).
Both ways of action are not exclusive and should be done permanently, that is, always give several options to the mind in its process of creation, and walk every day, from 20 to 30 minutes, minimum; and if you manage to get abstracted in your reading -suggestive and stimulant-, continue in it while you are enjoying it, and this way your mental block will be eliminated.
I have no doubt that by remaining alert and constant with these two courses of action, no one can ever remain blocked for more than 24 hours.
As a final conclusion, I would like to repeat that the WALK-RWD system works for anyone who is mentally blocked, regardless of their work activity. All you have to do is find one or two books that are related to that work (and even without) and get ready to walk reading any of the 2 books or both. You will see that in a couple of sessions you will be free of your blockage, regaining your creativity.
If you have suffered from these blocks and have experienced other ways to get out of them that work satisfactorily for you, I invite you to share them with our fellow readers. They will be grateful to you.
