How being CALM can help you CREATE.
Aug 17, 2021
Creative block anyone? When we are in a state of calm, our brain is fully integrated, which means our cortex is functioning; this is the part of our brain where creativity comes from. (This is true for any sort of creativity block, i.e. - a problem you’ve been struggling to solve.)
If you are feeling stuck, it may seem counterintuitive to get quiet, but I promise you it’s what you need (if you can actually surrender to the process and allow the mind to quiet down).
Have you ever noticed that ideas come to you right before bed? Driving? Out in nature? In meditation?
This happens to me ALL THE TIME!
These are moments when you are calm (which the brain reads as safety) and are able to create (or problem solve).
You don’t need to be completely still - a walk in nature might help! Dancing in your living room might be the medicine to get the creative juices flowing! Or even belting out your favorite tune might get you unstuck!
**This works if you are feeling anxious/activated (fight or flight type responses). If you are in more of a numb/depressed/freeze response, you gotta get moving!**
What is your favorite way to get in a calm state in order to create?
