Blog 1

    Sitting upright in a chair parallel to the ground with good posture. Typing on a chromebook with not the best iphone next to me. Got the Blog 1 tab open to check to see what I need to write about. Phone being next to me can be both a distraction and help me focus. A distraction because of checking social media and text messages going off. Can help me focus because on my phone I have spotify playing. Music helps me focus because my brain flows better when writing. Do not really have to think so hard, I can just listen and have my natural thoughts come to me. I play music that is upbeat for the thoughts to come more naturally and allow me to think more deeply. The tools I use to write are the keyboard, my fingers, intellectual thoughts from my brain, and music from Lil Wayne. When I write I am independent, writing by myself is best for me because it allows me to think without distractions from other people. I feel calm when writing, feel as if the world is in my hands and in my control. Can control my thoughts and what I want to type. I am in my own world when I type in my zone. Thoughts and feelins come to me when I write and it is how you mark those thoughts to stay in your mind. What your writing does affect your feelings about it. If you are interested in the topic you are writing you are probably calm and the writing feels more smooth and easy to you. You might be more excited when you write with an increased heart rate because you are interested. If you are not interested in the topic you are writing about you probably have to think deeper and it does not come as easy or natural. You are probably desperate for thoughts and doing the bare minimum of the assignment. I am writing this assignment at my job because I have free time. Little cold where it is at work so I have pants and a hoodie on. I want to be at room temperature so my thoughts can be clear and not have to worry about shivering and it being cold. I do not want it being cold to distract me from my writing process. I want to stay in the writing zone. I am typing at work with the computer resting on my legs. It is decently late at night and I am getting hungry, so I am trying to get home. Refocus by watching a motivation video of LeBron James, saying, "tired is only in the mind if you tell yourself you are tired then you will be tired, then he says, I don't get tired." Not thinking about being hungry, and thinking about getting back into the zone when writing. Allowing my thoughts to come to the mind and feel my fingers type on the keyboard ending with a storn exclamation point!
