Tap Into Your Genius

The dictionary defines genius as: a person who has exceptional intellectual ability, creativity, or originality, typically to a degree that is associated with the achievement of unprecedented insight.

All of us have that spark of genius within us. Creativity is not just about playing an instrument or drawing a picture. Creativity in business is used to generate new ideas, solve problems or create something new. 

Here are some tips to help you tap into your genius.

Rest

Small business owners know how to work. They often do many jobs in order to help their business succeed. Working hard is the way to help your business succeed. However, the thing that small business owners don’t understand is that rest is also important. Both work and rest are necessary to create your business. If rest is neglected, then your business will become stale.

Your creativity is the core of your genius. Inspired ideas come when you are refreshed allowing your genius to shine. Even small breaks during the day can give you time to see creative solutions that will increase your business and make it more efficient.

Visit Creative Environments

Visit places that help you renew your creative spirit. Some people look to nature for this environment. Go to a park, a wooded area, a garden to get your creative juices going. Nature has a way of slowing us down so that we can allow creative ideas to come to us. A museum  is another good choice.

Meditation

According to a recent study that appeared in the journal Frontiers in Cognition, meditation increased the ability to think divergently and to generate new ideas. Our minds are filled with static noise. Most of us rarely have a time when background noise is not present. Meditation brings you to a place of quietness so that you can be conscious of creative solutions. Spend some time listening to this Creative Visualization Meditation. In 15 minutes you can increase your level of creativity.

Break Up Your Routine

Routine can help us get things done, but if we are not flexible, it can also make us mentally stale. Do at least one small thing each day that is not in your routine.
This will increase your energy so that ideas can flow to you.
