Habits


Develop new habits. Studies have shown they stimulate creativity and innovation. A while ago I read an article in the New York Times that inspired me to be a little more conscious of my own habits and regimens. Why do we tend to develop habits? For some complacency and laziness may trigger a certain tendency, others stick to their habits because they feel safe and comfortable with familiarity, and still others because due to addiction. Try something new. Be conscious and mindful of your seemingly unbending routine and stimulate your brain. If you're right handed, try eating with your left hand. Take a different route home from work. Commit to running or doing yoga before work in the morning. No matter how significant or trivial the action seems, it sends vibrations through your brain triggering greater awareness and fostering creativity.


So play a little.
