Build Borders Broader



Your environment sets the mood and tone for you. If you are living in an inspirational environment, you are going to be inspired every day. May be sometimes just playing up with your room can work towards your inspiration.  It’s not about having access to countless resources; it’s about exploiting the resources you have access to.

 Doing the same exact thing every day hinders self-growth.  If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting.  Growth happens when you change things – when you try new things stretch beyond your comfort zone.

Blasting music is a turn off in turn a judicious noise level is the sweet spot for creativity. Ambient noise gets our creative juices flowing unlike silence. In high noise levels, our creative thinking is impaired because we’re overwhelmed struggling to process information efficiently. Whereas extreme quiet sharpens your focus, making it hard for us to think creatively.

An important point to remember when you’re optimizing for creativity is that the process of creative work goes through different stages. When I’m editing a blog post, for instance, I’m less worried about generating creative ideas than I am when I’m brainstorming topics or mapping out the structure of a post.
So optimizing your environment could call for different situations depending on the phase of work—e.g silence is best for concentration?

Research published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology looked at the difference in creativity levels in brightly-lit and dimly-lit environments. The research found that dim lighting helps us to feel less constrained and free to explore and take risks. So when you’re gearing up for a brainstorming session, try turning down the lights before you get started.

Love is the greatest source of inspiration. "At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet," said Plato. When you enjoy what you do, you like to think about it all the time. Someone else doesn't have to be wrong for you to be right.
