Increase Creativity With Simple Techniques: Positive Thought BlastOne of the most challenging aspects of maintaining a consistent creative output is to remain positive and to keep moving forward even in the face of creative resistance.This resistance comes in many guises, and most of it from within our Once negative thought patterns do take hold and become habits, they do their destructive work in a stealth-like way, and we hardly realise their presence and the damage they do, so familiar do we become with them. An effective way of combating this is to stay in touch with the positive elements about our creativity, and in particular about ourselves. Here?s a great technique that helps you to do this in less than 10 minutes a day. Positive Thought Blast The secret to the effectiveness of the ?Positive Thought Blast? technique is to be consistent and regular in doing it. Once or twice a week won?t make a lot of impact. But get into the habit of doing it 3 times a day and you?ll notice Set a timer for 3 minutes. Take a blank sheet of paper and write out all the positive things you can think of about yourself. These can be about your personality, about your creativity, about past achievements, about projects you?re currently working on, anything you can write down as a positive part of your life right now. Don?t worry about spelling and grammar, just blast you thoughts down on the page, and don?t stop writing until the 3 minutes is up. Repeat the above 3 times each day, without referring to the previous lists. After a week so you may want to review the lists you?ve written to notice the most common positive aspects you?ve noticed. But the more you do this, the more natural and easy it will become anyway and you?ll notice and appreciate positive elements in your self and your creative life far more. Experiment with the technique, try it more often and for longer periods of time, and see how this makes a difference. And remember, the repetition and regularity of the technique is the key to it working. 3 minutes, 3 times a day for 3 days will be far more powerful than a one off session of 27 minutes? © Copyright 2006 Dan Goodwin Article Directory: http://www.articledashboard.com Want to learn more about how to increase creativity?
