3 Easy Steps to Be Creative and Generate Great Ideas

Ξ April 3rd, 2008 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Thoughts are things |

Ever get a creativity block?

Writers block?

Can’t seem to find a solution for a problem big or small?

Feel stuck in a rut in some area of your life?

Here are 3 easy steps to help you be more creative, find solutions to problems faster and even generate great ideas.  

  1. Ask a clear question, this may seem obvious but it’s amazing how unclear, vague and fuzzy our questions can be.   Make your question the more precise the better. 
     

  2.  Mentally acknowledge and accept that you ‘just don’t know’ the answer, at this second in time, this is very important as it frees your mind to open and receive new ideas. 
  3. Now just go about your day, do something else even during your working day or though it may be more fun to paint, go fishing, or play golf.  Trust that your mind is now acting rather like an internet search engine and a solution will surface, you just don’t know when – and that’s a surprise!

Begin to see and make your own creativity a daily treasure hunt.  If it helps start with something small and just strengthen your belief in your creative ability as you go, and  like strengthening a muscle and work with it.  

 

Use this three step approach if you have a problem or where you need a creative solution, it really does work.

Recognize yourself more and more as a creative person. 
 

Have fun, your mind is alive with ideas!

Ho’oponopono

Ξ April 2nd, 2008 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Thoughts are things |

I heard about Ho’oponopono on a forum, intrigued, I did a search and I found a core story was so powerful that I thought I’d give it a go.
 
I use the powerful Ho’oponopono method as much as I can, I feel the simple approach has made a difference in my life. 

The extract that follows is from an interview by Deborah King, there is also a book Zero Limits: The Secret Hawaiian System for Wealth, Health, Peace, and More by Joe Vitale and Ihaleakala Hew, Ph.D Len

Beyond traditional means

Proven so effective that she (Mornah Simiona) has been invited to teach this method at the United Nations, the World Health Organization and at institutions of healing throughout the world.


We are the sum total of our experiences, which is to say that we are burdened by our pasts. When we experience stress or fear in our lives, if we would look carefully, we would find that the cause is actually a memory. It is the emotions which are tied to these memories which affect us now. The subconscious associates an action or person in the present with something that happened in the past. When this occurs, emotions are activated and stress is produced.”
She continues, “The main purpose of this process is to discover the Divinity within oneself. The Ho’oponopono is a profound gift which allows one to develop a working relationship with the Divinity within and learn to ask that in each moment, our errors in thought, word, deed or action be cleansed. The process is essentially about freedom, complete freedom from the past.”An extract from An interview with …

Earth Hour Every Hour

Ξ March 29th, 2008 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Thoughts are things |

I followed the Earth Hour link on Google as we put our clocks forward here in the UK tonight. It said that individuals account for 45% of over 500 million tones of CO2 per year.

It’s not just homes, I wondered what percentage of this 45% are the albeit pretty lights left on in office buildings in every town and city across-the-globe?  All the machines in homes and offices using juice in standby mode?

How can more of us remember to turn each light off?

Saving electricity isn’t really meaningful for many, but what about “I turn this light off for my daughter Andrea and her children”, or “I shut down this computer for my friend Carol and this one for Ena”?

It’s so easy to have different and contradictory measures. What difference does this one light make, but we easily remember to collect a few vouchers at a time for school computers or remember to claim the points as we pay for our petrol or gas.

If a loved one is sick we do what we can to make them better, we turn down the light, bring a cool drink if they have a temperature, or a warm blanket if they have a chill. 

This truly amazing and exquisitely beautiful planet needs us to lower the temperature for her and remember to switch the lights and power off, to turn the heat down.
