Monday Mindset 💪 : Be silly, use your sense of humor! A creative mindset is probably best compared with playfulness. The reason we assume kids are more creative than adults, is because they play. Everything is play and imagination, pretending as kids. They will give it a go, when they don’t know something, which is most things. If being silly is a step too far out of your comfort zone, you can practice lightening up a little, by doing something just for fun. For no reason at all, but just because. Have no goal, no intention to it well, don’t show it anybody, just do something random, because you feel like doing it. Play “I spy with my little eye” when you’re driving. Make up fun stories about random people you see on the street, draw with your non-dominant hand, or upside down. Apart from filling you with light and joyful energy, being silly relaxes the fight/flight/freeze part of your brain, which gives you access to the more creative part of your brain. If you need a science reason to have fun, there it is! :) Question to ask: What is one small way I can make this work more fun? Have a great week!
