There is no breathing space when a room is cramped with too
many people. People inside the room cannot freely move & cannot enjoy the situation
out there. The immediate reaction for every individual out there is to get out
of the room as soon as possible to stay free. We are all in the similar situation when our
mind is occupied with too many thoughts. Fully occupied mind does not have a free
space to generate new creative ideas.
Free Space: There
are too many centre points to the mind when mind is occupied with too many priorities.
The mind starts to revolve around those centre points. Too many revolutions
with too many centre points add up chaos in the mind. Ideally, one centre point
at a time gives the mind lot of headroom for revolution. So, take one thing to
the maximum priority at any given time to have enough headroom.
Self-awareness:
There is yet another way to create this free space in the mind. Just become
aware of the mind to understand the characteristics of your mind. You may do
this exercise right away now. Stop
reading this blog & simply close your eyes. Take few deep breaths. Simply
become aware of the mind and watch your thought patterns. Watch the thought
patterns nonjudgmentally for few minutes. Do not get involved in the thought
patterns. Watch like a third person viewing your own mind.
Such a simple practice done five minutes daily provides an
opportunity to understand your own mind characteristics.
Creativity: There
is a space deep inside & when one reaches there, he develops the ability to
generate new creative ideas. Even if you look back your own life, most of your
creative ideas would have happened only when you stayed relaxed. Otherwise, we
are trapped by our conditioned mind & hence, start to think & act based
on our own past experiences. We have to surpass this conditioned mind. For this,
stay relaxed & perform the self-awareness exercise as prescribed above.
FOR CREATIVTY, BUILD AN EMPTY SPACE IN THE MIND
