It's one reason why I try to write something every day to keep this skill ongoing even though I am already 77 years old.
Especially as we age there is this "Use it or lose it" kind of thing going on.
For example, if you can walk you should walk some every single day.
For example, if I feel well enough I will get on my treadmill every single day. I have mine next to a sliding glass door that I can open for fresh air.
Mind will set to many different speeds but I think the minimum you should do even if it is raining outside is likely 5 minutes. From 5 minutes in the morning I find I sometimes have energy to do other 5 minute sessions during the day because you don't want to lose your ability to walk.
And I also don't want to lose my ability to write either.
Also, I'm trying to get psyched up to return to playing the piano which I did regularly from 1956 to 1985 when my father died. I found I couldn't deal with my emotions when I played music after my father died so I pretty much stopped playing the piano in 1985 pretty much except maybe Christmas Carols to sing with my mother on Christmas because she lived until 2008.
So, I'm realizing I can start to return to playing both Piano and keyboards and guitar (which I taught myself and the flute (which I also taught myself).
I began taking piano lessens in 1956 when I was 8 years old and I continued with these lessons until I was 16 years old. However, I never liked the stress of recitals in front of large groups of people so I stopped playing in piano recitals at age 12 but continued to take lessons.
However, at age 12 I also began playing in church and on the Baldwin Organ in church and eventually learned also to play a pipe organ in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Later I also learned to play keyboards and synthesizers and electric Guitar as well (even though I'm more of a rythym electric guitarist more than a lead or base guitarist.
I considered becoming a professional musician but decided against it because I didn't like playing in smoke filled rooms with people drunk or stoned.
I think this is partly because I played in my families churches in Los Angeles and Santa Fe, New Mexico. So, I liked the spiritual vibe of playing music and didn't like smoke filled rooms or people drunk or stoned to play for.
I didn't mind listening in all sorts of different venues I just found that playing music sort of opened me up in ways I didn't like in some environments especially because I'm a clairvoyant.
So, I decided against becoming a professional musician for this reason even though I have good friends that became professional musicians and did quite well at this.
Writing I think should be spontaneous if possible always in order to heal you and the people around you and your own soul from the difficult experiences everyone has at times trying to stay alive and to keep their families and friends alive too.
