3 Creativity Exercises
Listen to Theta wave music to get into a flow state of mind where tasks are completed with ease and calmness
Blindfolded yourself and draw something. Think of an image like a shoe, a pencil or a fan and try to trace the vision in your mind onto the paper. No peaking. This will help to let go of hyper judgement and performance anxiety. The result can be funny and even surprisingly identifiable.
Dance or move your body in a fluid manner similar to interpretive dance. This may look and feel strange, however it is an incredible release of stagnate energy in the body. Do what your body allows without overtaxing joints and muscles. You’ll find your movement just be patient.
Calibrate Your Body

Every body needs calibration from time to time. Deep breathing and various meditations lowers oxidative stress and quells the release of stress hormones. Fasting, eating raw natural foods and consuming healthy juices are ways to calibrate the body and balance digestion. Plan the meals for the day carefully and intentionally so hunger doesn’t impulsively choose low value, easy to grab foods.
To get started, here are meditations to calibrate or reset the mind and body.
Design Your Own Experience

Have Gratitude For Your Freedom to create your own experiences and the lifestyle you want. This is your life, how do you want to live it? NOTHING is stopping you but yourself. Get planing and be your own divine creator of your dreams. Keep good company around you and stay focused every day. Make a list of the most important things you want in your life. Write them on a small piece of paper or in the notes on your phone. Read those goals as soon as you want up and before you go to sleep. Stay with it, the transition happens gradually so don’t expect a big bang experience.
