Come to the calm of a well functioning brain.
This is part of the information I found about becoming more creative and working with habits.
The fourth habit is, be more prolific. Thomas Edison, 1090 patents. Picasso 20,000 paintings. Bach one composition a week. They kept producing until it worked. Many believe that it is a trade off between quantity and quality. However, we need to practice to get to the right place. The fifth habit is, to give yourself permission to suck. Here is a quote from Stephen Pressfield, from the book The War of Art, "Resistance wants us to stake our self-worth, our identity, our reason-for-being on the response of others to our work. Resistance knows we can't take this. No One can. The professional blows critics off. He doesn't even hear them. Critics, he reminds himself, are the unwitting mouth pieces of Resistance." WOW! People will in the long run remember the good pieces that are created and forget about the other stuff that just didn't work. More tomorrow!! This is very much about how the brain works. We keep working to get the stuck places unstuck. We keep the good parts and get the parts that aren't working more flexible and yes, creative. Try LENS neurofeedback is works.

Here is an article from Louis Chew. The title is, "Become the creative you've always wanted to be by embracing these seven habits."
First let me interject. I love finding information the internet. It is full of creative possibilities. We usually think that creativity is limited to a select few. But we can get around this concept and investigate how to open this world up. The first habit is to steal like an artist. A good artist knows that nothing comes from nowhere. Ideas for inspiration comes from many different sources. Good work, takes time and repetition, comes from many different sources, and this is made into what we create individually. So the world is up for grabs with ideas to steal from. The second habit is always be researching. I have been doing research for these articles. I have found it fascinating. So to find something worth stealing, we need to look in the right places. So keep looking until you find the best ideas. When you find a good thinker, keep researching this person. And then when your looking, find the people that like this way of thinking also. Get up into the branches until they are thin. The third habit is to enter new domains. Be open to new ideas and responsive to changes. As Abraham Maslow observed: He that is good with a hammer tends to think everything is a nail. Keeping open to new ideas and things, can keep you on the up side of creativity and keep your business going. Enough for today. More tomorrow. LENS neurofeedback can open up those creative neurons and keep you open to new ideas. Try it!! Okay, I'll do it:
sing longer songs tonight because sometimes you're just so damn hard to please, and I guess I am still courting you, trying to get into your soul's knickers. What makes you like that---grouchy around the edges? What classrooms have you lounged in; what nonsense have you traded your gold for? How can you look so needy, God is growing in fields you own. He hangs from trees you pass every day. He is disguised as that peach and pine cone. Every sound I hear---He made it. I have been walking with two canes these days--- guess why? It is because of His beauty and that blond peach fuzz floating everywhere like dust--- it has made me so drunk. Here is some information from Amy Morin from Psychology Today. These mistakes can limit your happiness.
Denying how you feel. Emotional wounds are harder to admit, then say your broken leg. It is not a good idea (guys) to minimize your emotions. This way of being is limiting and downplaying who you are as a human being. This will not make the emotions go away, they usually just sit in the brain and cause problems. Avoiding uncomfortable feelings. Fear, sadness, embarrassment and disappointment are uncomfortable. Don't limit your life or let others limit your life. This is part of the story or journey, accept it, express it. I crave having people around me that can be honest and real with how they work life. Chasing happiness. Happiness is like a butterfly, it comes around when it pleases and only lands for a few seconds. Everyone seems to be chasing this butterfly these days. This only puts pressure on yourself to find the thing that will make you happy. There is only this moment in time. Learn to understand that instant gratification does not always make way for long-term contentment. This is the key contentment. LENS neurofeedback can help the brain to calm down and be content with the present moment. The flexibility is there to calm down and enjoy. Brain powers fluctuate over the span of years, with some peaking into elder years. This is contrary to what scientists have thought in the past. In a study of 50,000 people, from teens to the 70s this is what they found. The processing speed of the brain peaks around the age of 18. Vocabulary skills continue developing into the 60s and 70s. Remembering things we see peaks around the age of 25. Short term memory develops at about the age of 35. The ability to read other people does not take shape until we are in our 40s and keeps maturing until we are in our 60s. We all have different talents and at different ages. We can honor and respect these differences in all age groups.
LENS neurofeedback will help to keep the brain in a good working state, no matter what age. We are having an open house on 6-22 in Colorado Springs between 4 and 7. The address is 224 E Willamette. Come and learn, and just have fun. |
