After everything was set, I gave myself the simple instructions: sit, walk, write, repeat, but write only when in flow. I would do my regular meditation “thing” by practicing a lot of sitting and walking meditation and would sit down to write only if moved to do so. And most important, I would immediately get up from writing and return to meditation if I felt the slightest bit of contraction, which signaled a movement out of flow and into some type of striving.
