Discover Your Gift(s) In Writing
Often it is simpler for us to speak and try to get our point across than to write something down to try to get our point across. If you have ever been stopped in your writing your story down, there may be a simple solution for you. Taking the time to write seems to be an issue for many people.
Pick a topic or an object and spend 5 minutes writing about it. Then stop and read what you wrote. Did it give you enough material to understand? If it did, great. If it didn’t, see where you missed the points that would have given the data needed.
Continue practicing this 5-minute method until it is easy for you to communicate your thoughts in that time frame. They are concise and very understandable.
After you have spent a short time practicing this method, you can expand your writing to 10 minutes. Set a timer if you’d like and do it as if you are playing a game. Your prize will be your increased ability to communicate.
You will even find this will apply to your verbal communication. It gets more comfortable to be clear about your subject when you have to think about explaining it in a short time.
What is creating a challenge with your flow?
When you get stuck and have difficulty explaining something in a short time, see what it is that seems to be creating a challenge with your flow. You might need different words to make your explanation have more clarity.
In this case, try to replace the words with other words that mean the same or have a similar meaning and see if this will get you unstuck. It is the combination of words more often than not that creates this result of feeling stuck.
As you change the words or the combination of the ideas, the mind is activated. The brain often experiences the flow as it starts again. You were trying too hard.
Discovering this about yourself and allowing you to try these simple exercises will help you uncover and develop your gift(s) and enjoy communicating with more ease.
