First off I would like to say terrific blog!

I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you do not mind.
I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing.
I've had a difficult time clearing my thoughts 
in getting my ideas out. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually 
lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips?

Cheers!
