We believe that every person whose mind is capable of generating innovative ideas is a creative person.
So, how many ideas do you get in a day?
On a good
day we know that your mind is flooded with tons of ideas.
But what
about the bad days, the days when you can’t think of anything; when your mind
is distracted over everything around you. It becomes more frustrating when you
are close to a deadline.
So how do
you tackle it?
Here’s how….
Lack of
focus is not a permanent state. You can change it whenever you want.
It is
natural to lose focus when you have to juggle between many things every day.
All you need to do is train your mind.
You already
do it without your knowledge. How? Remember the time when you wanted to buy a car?
What did you do? You researched extensively about it for a couple of days. What
happened after that? Every time you left the house you saw that car. You saw it
on your way to work, in the office premises and even in movies.
How did it
happen?
When you
researched about the car you trained your mind to focus on the car. In the
field of psychology this phenomenon is called ‘The Gatekeeper Effect’. You set
a gatekeeper in your mind to let only important things (in this case a car) in
and keep away the distractions. Hence, your brain became receptive to that car.
Sounds fair?
So how do
you use it to get focus on the things that you want to achieve?
How do you
intentionally set a gatekeeper?
Well,
programming your mind may sound very hard to you but it’s easy. You start with
a deep breath. You acknowledge your surrounding through your senses. You offer
your gratitude towards your senses. Then you look inside you and thank your
qualities. Then you think of the people whom you love and thank them.
This is how
you build your way inside until you reach your core. Once you are there you
think of the goals that you want to achieve.
Then you
consider that your goals are achieved. You feel the happy to have achieved your
goals. This is how you set a gatekeeper.
Wasn’t it simple?
It’s also quick. You can program your brain in just 5 simple steps which takes
around 7-8 minutes.
