Thanks for dropping by. I found that pressing acupuncture points helps to relax and get focussed much quicker than simply trying to relax using a conscious effort. It accelerates the process. 
I've never used Wordtracker, but loved your idea of retrieving keywords to identify topic for an article. I wanted to try Wordtrakcer, but backed off because it seems to be a paid service.

Thanks for sharing your tip. Recently, I am also carrying a notebook - love my Moleskine - and I don't lose so many ideas as I used to before :)</description>

		<description>Wow, this is a new one for me! I don't think I've ever heard of using acupuncture techniques for overcoming writer's block before.

What I have doing recently when trying to focus on writing articles is to use the Wordtracker keyword suggestion tool to begin with a general topic and narrow it down to more specific phrases. Then I look at some of the keywords that seem the most interesting to me and choose the ones that have relatively low competition in the search results and write my article so that it addresses these particular topics. 

Often the things people are searching for will be in the form of a question, or it may be a topic that can easily be converted into a question. This makes it easy - all I have to do is answer the question in my article, and if I don't know the answer already I can just look the search results under that keyword. 

This technique has been working pretty well for me because it not only helps to overcome the writer's block problem, but it helps me to refine my SEO skills and optimize my articles so that they are more likely to draw targeted searches and rank well in the results.</description>

		<description>Ai, 
Thanks for dropping by. 
Indeed, this technique helps to "clear" the mind by relaxing and focusing in order to select what is relevant. The key to the technique is  step N3. Previously, I would do few cycles of breathing to relax and focus on question, but then found that using acupressure points streamlines the process. Some studies have shown that relaxation has some positive effect on cognitive performance (compared with a control group) and recent neuroimaging experiments provided some evidence of improved memory functioning following a relaxation exercise. 
And yes, I think with a little bit of creativity, this technique can be applied in many other situations that require clear-headed decisions to be made.</description>

		<description>Hi, Arman, that's great and sounds really amazing. So the answers actually are within us, what we need is clear mind to identify them, right? I think the technique can be applied in any situations.</description>
