15 Top Tips to Enhance Creative Thinking
“There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns.” – Edward de Bono
Many people experienced blocks to creative thinking. If you are engaged in work or in an environment that encourages repetitive work for instance, there is no opportunity to be engaged creatively. In the old economy, creative thinking is not considered as important as getting the task on hand done. You are rewarded based on fulfilling numbers, following guidelines and rehashing the old. You do not gain extra points for thinking out-of-the-box.

Your Guide to Daydreaming
You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say, “Why not?”
– George Bernard Shaw
(Min’s Secret World)
Daydreaming is a form of using your creative imagination. When you daydream, you go into an imaginary world. You imagine yourself as capable of being, having and doing all that you desire. You imagine an utopian world. You imagine a world that has wondrous innovations, superb technology or advanced creations. You imagine living a life without a single worry.

Book Review: The Fire Starter Sessions
The Fire Starter Sessions: A Soulful and Practical Guide to Creating Success on Your Own Terms, a book written by Danielle Laporte, arrived at my doorstep last week at a time when I needed it. I was feeling miserable from being ill. I had sulked because I disliked being stuck in bed. My hopes for an early recovery had been dashed as the days wore on. Numbing fever and excruciating tension headaches that originated from a throat infection struck for 5 straight days.
The book had arrived early in the week but at first, I just did not feel up to reading an entire book. Then, mid-week, after waking up from a restful afternoon nap, I decided to tear open the courier package. I proceeded to read the complimentary copy sent to me by its publishing house.

Law of Attraction: How to Tell a Better-Feeling Story
“There is no right or wrong way to tell your improved story. It can be about your past, present, or future experiences. The only criterion that is important is that you be conscious of your intent to tell a better-feeling, improved version of your story. Telling many good-feeling short stories throughout your day will change your point of attraction. Just remember that the story you tell is the basis of your life. So tell it the way you want it to be.”
– Abraham
When you tell a better-feeling story, whether to yourself or others, you are more likely to attract better-feeling events into your life by virtue of the Law of Attraction. The problem with many of us is that we tell our story based on what-is rather than the way we would like it to be. And so we continue to attract the same circumstances that we have already been manifesting all along. Invariably, we find that our situations do not improve.

Law of Attraction: Activate with Joy
One excellent way to activate the Law of Attraction powerfully is with joy. Since the Universe operates on vibrations, joy is a positive-feeling state that can help magnetise more joy into your life.
“You are joy, looking for a way to express. It’s not just that your purpose is joy, it is that you are joy. You are love and joy and freedom and clarity expressing. Energy—frolicking and eager—that’s who you are. And so, if you’re always reaching for alignment with that, you’re always on your path, and your path will take you into all kinds of places. We will not deny that you will not discover miracles and create benefits and be involved in creation, and that you will not uplift humanity—we will not say that you will not find satisfaction in so many things that you create, but we can’t get away from the acknowledgment that you are Pure Positive Energy that translates into the human emotion of joy.” – Abraham, Abraham-Hicks
To be joyful, you can focus on your blessings, visualize for a brighter future, address your emotions and to let more laughter into your life. These are the very tips that have helped me make a shift from feeling poorly about things. Feeling joy mostly keeps me be positive all day.
Law of Attraction: Find Vibrational Alignment
To leverage on the Law of Attraction, you will need to find vibrational alignment.
Allow me to explain.
“You can’t cease to vibrate, and Law of Attraction will not stop responding to the vibration that you are offering. So, expansion is inevitable. You provide it, whether you know you do, or not.” – Abraham
The Universe exists and operates by vibration.
Like everything else, you are also vibrational energy. When your outer circumstances are less than what you desire them to be, there is something within you creating those undesirable circumstances, while at the same time keeping other, more desirable circumstances at bay. You attract the circumstances based on the vibrational alignment of your thoughts and feelings.

The Meta Mirror Model: View Life From A New or Higher Perspective
“Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.”
~ Arthur Schopenhauer
(Mount Fuji Japan: Let’s view things from the top)
I have found the Meta-Mirror Model useful in reframing the mind. The Meta-Mirror Model allows you to break down what it means to see things from a higher perspective into practical steps. By going through the steps, it is easier to shift from being ego-centered to one operating from higher consciousness. In the eventual position, you gain a helicopter and macro view of things.

Disallow Criticisms From Stifling Your Creativity
If you hear a voice within you say “you cannot paint,” then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.
– Vincent Van Gogh
Once upon a time, I dreamed of being a fashion designer. I filled my sketchbooks with pictures of women wearing clothes that I have designed.
I imagined what it would be like to have models walking down the catwalk, wearing my designs.
I imagined what it would be like to be popular because of my beautiful work.

25 Labels in Your Negative Self Talk
Labels used in negative self talk can restrict you from being your fullest potential. They are the names you mentally call yourself in your head. Unfavourable outcomes result when you identify who you are with these labels.
Labels can be positive or negative. While it helps to use labels for describing something, they can also be rather restrictive. By identifying yourself with them, whether positive or negative, you prevent yourself from discovering your true essence. Still, it is the labels in negative self talk that create the most problems for us.
