Capital is a scare resource. It is created internally when we increase revenues or save on expenses.
Two years into the recession, most businesses and individuals have cut every expense possible and work hard to squeeze every dollar of revenue. Bank loans and financing are difficult to obtain. The best way now to create more capital is with new processes, new services, or new or modified products.
This means we may have to step out of our every day thought process.
One of the common by products of recession is stress. We spend a lot of time worrying about the need to be better and more competitive.
Creativity is an activity that has to be outside the normal mind/brain thought patterns. Creativity is not a left brain logical or analytical exercise.
It is more right brain with connection to the spatial and emotional centers. The right hemisphere of the neo cortex is directly connected to the limbic brain which is our emotional center.
The left brain thinking side accesses principally Beta waves while our right side emotional center is powered by Alpha waves. The real creation centers are the Theta and Delta waves which are slower and accessed in sleep or meditative exercises.
Fewer people can slow their mind/brains down in an over caffeinated world with too much information, too much agenda, and too little time. This syndrome is one of the reasons businesses have retreats.
But individuals can access these creative centers with practice and intention. Two things that help us clear our minds and power our alpha centers are exercise and reduction in stimulus.
Even when we have down times we are texting, putting some sound device in our ears, or surfing the internet. Programming in some boredom helps increase brain capacity by giving it a rest; sort of a mini retreat.
The next thing we could do is find a time when nothing else is on our minds and we are refreshed. I find that time very early in the morning and unfortunately in the middle of the night.
I frequently get up at 2 a.m. to write when I feel rested because my nervous system has had four hours to shake itself out. By the way, tests have shown that man’s ideal cycles are four hours sleeping and four hours awake.
But being more practical, we can access peace by getting into locations that stimulate connection such as the beach, the mountains, or maybe a park or a hike. If not, you may have a quiet place where you can escape.
If you want to revolutionize your work, you need to revolutionize your refreshing process. The mind/brain synchronicity allows us to move in and out of the physical. We can access revelations, epiphanies, and ahas by giving our selves the freedom to dig into our emotional connections.
Inspiration is different than motivation. Inspiration is the love of an activity while motivation is activity for a reward.
If you can be inspired by expressing who you are through your play or working process, you will tap a deep emotional reservoir that yields never ending fresh approaches.
It’s a big step for the average “hard at it” executive or entrepreneur in this world, but without more capital, it is the most efficient process to new capital.
