Make sure to spend some time consuming the content of the greats. Choose consciously who’d you want to read/watch regularly. Let them inspire and influence you.
Or don’t, if that works out better for you.
Space & time for reflection
Slow down to speed up. I know I’m also learning.
If there’s not enough space and time for reflection, you wouldn’t get new ideas. Allow your mind to be empty sometimes.
Meditation or journaling — whatever works for you.
Work on your physical fitness
When you move your body and make it sweat, magically you become more creative.
Don’t trust me? Try it yourself.
Allow your body to be in movement and sweat.
Eat better
Your gut dictates how your mind works.
Eat light and experiment with different food items and meal times. See what works for you best.
