10 Ways for Lightening to Strike you with Creativity

Don't wait for it. Got make lightening happen!!! What inspires you? Tweet us @thirstyfishinfo or comment below...
Waiting for inspiration?
Puh-leeeze!
You may as well wait for lightning to strike.
1. Read more stuff
Magazines, books, blogs, cereal boxes... it doesn't really matter (at least at the beginning) what you read -- just that you're reading at all. Just 15 to 20 minutes every morning and every evening is enough to feed your brain with enough new ideas to make you more strikeable. To increase the quality of ideas your reading generates, increase the quality of the writers you are reading.
2. If you have to watch TV, watch some good shows
3. Go see great speakers
4. Collect quotes
5. Listening to music
6. Play word games
7. Visit museums
8. Find heroes
9. Express yourself -- journal, sketch, paint
10. Radar up!
There's a book titled "Personal Brilliance" in which the author lists four catalysts for creativity: Awareness, Creativity, Focus, and Initiative.

  • My recommendation is to choose one of these activities, most days of the week (4-5 days perhaps). If you go out, have fun, enjoy the activity, it won’t feel like “exercise” … but you’ll be getting fit and healthy in the meantime.

    Make the workout the reward.

    I REPEAT - Anxiety, panic attacks, OCD and phobias ARE NOT illnesses. They are NEITHER mental nor physical illnesses. They are behavioral conditions which have resulted from an adjustment in the subconscious mind in the Amygdala.
    The Amygdala, like a light switch, is either anxiety ON or anxiety OFF and under normal circumstances this is only triggered when REAL danger exists. In anxiety conditions, the 'switch' gets artificially stuck in the ON position, causing constant anxiety symptoms even when no REAL danger exists.

    What fear would you like to erase?

    OK, you might not want to say it out loud publicly but wouldn't it be nice if we could erase our fears from our memories? Or should we? One research study suggests we can alter the impact that fears have on our while they are still "vulnerable" to editing. This could help us become less dependent on pharmacological treatments!

    Recalling a frightening moment or event can be unsettling as your body revisits the sense of danger and panic you first experienced, and the frequent recurrence of these recollections can even lay a foundation for anxiety disorders. Yet, according to new research from the department of psychology at New York University, there may actually be a way to rewrite these "fear memories" to extract the sting of panic and discomfort. Previous research into long-term memory has found that, with "extinction training"—which involves re-living a frightening experience in a safe environment—psychologists are able to help people suppress fear memories. Yet, even with this technique, stressful situations can still cause that memory, and the emotions associated with it, to come surging back. What researchers found in this latest study, however, was that in the period just after a memory is recollected, and before it is "reconsolidated" back into our mind's memory bank, it may be vulnerable to editing.
