Creative thinking is vital to achieving your potential and seeing the possibilities that are around you all the time. But we have to prepare our brain to see new patterns and ideas. As natural creatures of habit, this applies to our thinking habits as well as physical habits.

Social Proof your brain is Amazing

Let’s illustrate the power of your brain. Can you identify the person below?

Even though the image is broken and not a true reflection I’m sure your brain was able to rearrange the pieces in fractions of a second and come up with the name of this person almost instantly. Ok now take a look at the second image below. Can you identify this person?

NO!!! Sure? Hmmm…. Why not? The photo is clear and a true reflection of a human person. Yet again your brain knew in fractions of a second that you were unable to name her. The reason is because you don’t have any brain cells containing information about this person. Our brain can only see what it has been prepared to see! 🙂

Sometimes we find ourselves stuck in life, mulling over problems, unable to find solutions. This can lead to lack of confidence and self belief. We may find ourselves spiralling emotionally because all we can see is the problem. Energetically problems and solutions vibrate at completely different frequencies, so the answers to your problems cannot reveal themselves to you until you take your focus off of the problem. What can you do? How do you unstick yourself? 🙁

Creative thinking is vital to achieving your potential

Creative Art and Self Development make the perfect partnership.

Doing craft work enables you to refocus and reignite your imagination. My work involves combining recycling and craft so each project becomes a metaphor for transformation as well as a visual trigger for a self development topic. As you literally change something you previously thought of as rubbish into a beautiful craft project you open your mind to the potential in things and yourself.

By preparing your brain to look at things differently, with new perspective, you gain self confidence and self belief. The familiar experience of play helps your mind and body absorb new information and process things easily. We literally learn by doing.

Solutions reveal themselves as you take your attention away from problems in a fun, inspiring, uplifting environment. I have seen this happen time and time again and clients are amazed at their own ability to be creative again. They reconnect with a part of themselves they’d forgotten about and literally re-mind themselves of who they really are.

How can you help yourself get more of what you want in 2019?

Join an art class, walk in nature, play more sport, meditate, keep a gratitude journal. Do anything that uplifts your heart, refreshes your mind and spirit and takes your thought away from the problems. Creating a Vision Board or Gratitude Jar are great ways to focus on the positive aspects of your life. Focus on what is going right not on what you believe is going wrong. As you shift your vibration internally so your life externally will begin to change too.

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”  (Dr Wayne Dyer)

Reading this sentence in the first person changes the way your brain understands and accepts it.

“When I change the way I look at things, the things I look at change.”

Now read this sentence over and over placing the emphasis on different words within it.

WHEN I change the way I look at things, the things I look at change.

When I CHANGE the way I look at things, the things I look at change.

When I change THE WAY I LOOK at things, the things I look at change.

When I change the way I look AT THINGS, the things I look at change.

When I change the way I look at things, THE THINGS I look at change.

When I change the way I look at things, the things I LOOK AT change.

When I change the way I look at things, the things I look at CHANGE.

No one can see things from your perspective no matter where they stand. Your view, your feelings, your beliefs are unique to you. The only person that can change the way you see things is you. Are you ready to open your mind to your own potential, reveal the possibilities that are all around you and get more of what you want in 2019?
