HOW TO AVOID WRITER'S BLOCK IN COLLEGE

We can’t avoid experiencing the so-called writer’s block. If you’re a college student writer, all the stress and pressure can sometimes affect your mind and body, resulting to writer’s block. But don’t worry though because there are ways on how you can avoid this from happening. Here are some tips on how you can prevent writer’s block:

Eat a balanced meal.

Food helps fuel the brain so just imagine how essential it is for writers like you whose mind is a constant source of ideas. Make it a habit to eat the right kind of food such as those rich in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Proper nutrition will ensure your brain to function properly and it will also help you cope with stress.

Don’t skip meals.

Remember that breakfast is the most important meal of the day so as much as possible, don’t skip it. If you go to school or work with an empty stomach, your brain won’t also be able to function well. This can result to writer’s block and other illnesses.

Stay calm.

Sometimes, writer’s block can also be brought about by too much anxiety. We all know how hectic college life is especially if you’re working for the college paper and at the same time serving as a full time student. As much as possible, stay calm and avoid anxiety even when you’re under a lot of pressure. Try to lessen anxiety by diverting your attention to other things or socializing with other people so you can relieve stress. You can take some break from writing or studying and hang around with friends, take a solitary walk, or go to a beautiful spot near school where you can unwind and relax your mind.

Meditate or yoga.

You can also avoid writer’s block by meditation or yoga so that you can relieve your mind and body from stress and anxiety. Every morning or late afternoon, try to join yoga classes or you can try meditating at home or at the dorm. This will help relax your brain as well as your entire body.

Avoid cramming.

If possible, avoid cramming when a deadline is coming up. If you need to do college essay writing and prepare a paper that is due ASAP, don’t wait for the last minute to write it. Prepare ahead so that you have plenty of time to research and write it.

Know how to manage stress and reduce anxiety. With these tips, you can now say goodbye to your worst enemy called writer’s block.
