My protocol is:
1) clear your mind
2) prime your mind
3) flow your truth
1. Clear your mind
Spend 30 minutes meditating, preferably first thing when you wake up.
Pick something that works for you. A simple practice:
• Allow whatever happens to happen
• When you notice you are trying to control your attention, drop that intention
2. Prime your mind
Spend 30min reading or listening to high-quality content. I like listening to great spiritual teachers and philosophers. In any case, pick something that your interest is drawn to. Make it BIG and not empty calories.
3. Flow your truth
30-60min of writing. Let it flow.
Bonus points for publishing your writing - it will add sharpness and clarity to your thinking.
Also consider walking. I find I get many of my epiphanies lately when I'm walking the dogs in the evening. I take type notes or voice notes on my phone.
Finding the big content to prime with is tricky! It's definitely a bottleneck. I've found revisiting old inspirational things can help as long as enough time has passed.
