Selah

This always helps me, whether I'm feeling blue or frustrated, happy or desperately short of time... Look up! Lift your head, your eyes, your heart.

I know this is based on a biblical passage, so it's not a new thing. But I forget to do it. I get mired in the emotion, wallow in fear/angst/pity for a few minutes, then dive into a to-do list that might leave me treading water at the end of the day (as opposed to drowning) when I should pause, tip my head back, and gaze at the sky. Let the light seep into me. Realize I'm not alone.

So that's my tip this week--no it's not a literary element, but I bet your creative flow will pick up steam.
