I don't know about you, but it is very apparent that a morning exercise program must be part of my days the rest of my life. And how do I hate it, let me count the ways. But without it, I can readily see that my days will be fewer. So it is off to the gym at 5 A.M.Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and something else Tuesday and Thursday. Weekends are left to bust a gut around the house. But what do you do everyday for your mind? What helps you develop that giant muscle in your head. Well here is something you might try. Write. That's right, just write. Every morning, sit down and write 3 pages of whatever drivel comes out. It doesn't need to make sense, it just needs to flow. Write as fast as you can and pretty soon, after just a few minutes, the thoughts will come from deep within. It sounds a bit transcendental, but it works. It helps clear your brain by unloading. Not just a to do list, but content. Some of which you didn't even know was there.

Bring on the technology. So I stumbled upon a web site that challenges you to do this every day and rewards you if you do. It is www.750words.com and it is really interesting. Now I probably write a couple thousand words a day in emails, letters and other work related content. But I have never really sat down and just written for the sake of writing. It is really interesting and this web site makes it even more interesting. After you have completed your 750 words, you are rewarded with a graphic analysis of your mood and emotions that day. It graphically charts you for that day and if you wish, all days on average. It will also compare you to others participating in the same mental exercise. If you have any writing desire at all, try this out. If you have another way of unloading your brain and exercising your mind, please share it.
