Mind block. Feel the word – blocking the mind, the horror!  Deadlines are being chased and you have achieved total meltdown, perfect timing of course. No creative ideas what so ever. We have all been there. It feels like your brain is stuck like an old LP record and you are slowly sinking in quicksand. What to do? Here are some of my best tips to get started again;

  • Get moving

Recent studies show that children learn more and faster with exercise and improves their memory skills. A good heart rate and fresh air makes the blood flow go.

  • Change location

Changing your location can also help you change your perspective. Seeing things from another angle can promote new thinking. Simple and most effective.

  • Clean your office & work area from clutter

Clutter can hold you back. Just by looking at it makes your mind wonder off and makes you think about all the things you should have done but haven’t.  Clutter free makes more space even for your mind.

  • Boost your brain

Eat for your brain. Most likely you have read all about the benefits of Omega 3 but did you know that the brain loves Zink? A handful of pumpkin seeds per day are all it needs. Especially under times of stress and flue seasons you might need more of it as the body doesn’t store it.

  • Boost your mind

Beautiful scenery can make all the difference. Go to botanic gardens, read a book or solve a Sudoku game. Sit at your favorite coffee shop a whole day.

  • Boost your heart

Helping someone else is a great gift to others as well as yourself and can make you forget your own problems and worries. Seeing the world through someone else’s eyes can be powerful.

  • Try something new

We are all creatures of habit. We do what we have always done. We chose the same thing over and over and therefore the brainwaves are already there, same old familiar patterns. Nothing new comes in. In order to grow new brain wave patterns we need to do things we have never done! It can be as simple as eating something new, trying out a new way to work or why not a new form of exercise?
