Every
human being has an innate creative ability. Most of the interesting
things in our lives that are innovative and important are the result of
this creative ability. Creativity makes us feel that we are living a
life that is exciting and fulfilled. From the
great works better
of
some artists, writers or musicians we perceive that this innate power of
imagination and genius are highly developed in certain people while
remaining dormant and untapped in others.
According to M. Csikszentmihalyi, creativity is inseparable from
enjoyment and comes when we reach the state of flow that can be reached
when:
-
There are clear goals every step of the way
-
There is immediate feedback to one’s actions
-
There is a balance between challenges and skills
-
Action and awareness are merged
-
Distractions are excluded from consciousness
-
There is no worry of failure
-
Self-consciousness disappears
-
The
sense of time becomes distorted
-
The
activity becomes autotelic (enjoyable)
Your
personal and professional successes rely on your ability to create, to
generate new ideas, to solve problems with ease and to innovate
successfully. WithYourVoice Ltd
helps you overcome mental blocks and liberate your creative power. Free
your intuition and imagination, shake your mind out of the routine,
exploit this enormous potential of your brain and experience the
excitement of a creative life.
Most frequently observed barriers to creativity are:
-
Insomnia,
a symptom more than a disorder. You may be unable to sleep because of
restless legs syndrome, cramps, sweat, impatience, ruminations,
negative talk and obsessions. What is important in order to benefit
from the restorative powers of sleep is to process the events of the
day. This is accomplished during the so-called paradoxical phases of
sleep when our brain is most active (production of α
alpha
brain waves on EEG). At these moments we are dreaming. We have roughly
six such phases that last twenty minutes each. If we do not have these
we become nervous and our creativity is impaired. Besides balancing
the body-mind, sleep allows our parasympathetic
parasympathetic system
to work its restorative function to erase the ill consequences of
stress thus boosting our immune system.
-
Limiting Beliefs and anxiety as consequences of stress,
due
to hard pressure. In a negative self-reinforcing loop, anxiety
aggravates loss of confidence, generates self-doubt and interferes
with the free flow of ideas through the brain, blocking further
creativity. Worse, chronic release of stress hormones directly causes
atrophy in the hippocampus (a part of the brain essential to memory
processing) and harms the recall of recent memories. At its onset this
atrophy is reversible if you eliminate stress. Then you can be free
from these negative emotions, enter the flow state, and stay calm and
focused in front of your work - conditions leading to creativity.
-
Substance abuse:
usually linked to toxins and initially taken as a booster for
creativity or a treatment for depression.
-
Incapacity to mobilise the energy and enthusiasm inside you.
Creativity requires your participation and commitment. This is an
active process and you cannot be creative while you are inert, hence
you must get involved. Since creative people usually have excess
energy, we help you compartmentalize your mental energy and identify
domains in which to invest.
-
Incapacity to set clear, realistic and challenging goals.
Challenging goals are motivating and stimulating. They give you the
desire to achieve them because it is through these nearly unattainable
goals that you can measure and display all your skills and potentials.
The feeling of constantly swinging between success and failure gives
you the thrills and pleasure to generate innovative ideas.
-
Loss of confidence
that makes you feel powerless and unable to create. What is poisonous
for creativity is the negative inner talk such as “I look
silly” or I’ll lose face” that comes to contaminate your thoughts.
-
Fear
engendered by procrastination and reluctance. Fear hinders
creativity. When fear overcomes your life, you are bound to miss out
the best opportunities and doomed to dismiss ideas that would have led
you towards creation and innovation.
-
Inability to focus or concentrate, feeling distracted,
are
more than often problems related to toxins, especially when no other
reason is apparent. As the problems linger, you will feel even more
anxious or sometimes depressed because your work is not up to your
potential. Application of VT will erase anxiety and depression,
allowing the return of focus and concentration capacities. VT can also
be used to identify which toxins are interfering, and offer you
efficient ways to get rid of them.
-
Mental morass, inertia,
torpor, omphaloskepsis, languidness, sluggishness, procrastination –
these forbid learning, curiosity and interest
in
things around you, leaving you closed to new ideas and propositions.
Using
Voice Technology and NLP tools you can learn how to face
criticism and handle attacks and pressure from your peers,
family, team-mates etc. You will become an expert at reformulating
your own negative inner talk and others’ petty criticisms, and
transform these into positive thinking. To be creative means you’ll
have to stand out from the crowd. There will be pressure to force you to
conform, or criticism to tell you that your invention is silly.
Accepting with grace what is relevant and making humour out of negative
or hostile remarks will disarm your adversaries so that your energy will
go only to flow and creativity.
You will learn how to redefine
your past mistakes and make yours the NLP motto: there are no
failures, just feedback. Your past mistakes will turn into deposits
of creativity that you will be eager to tap. Past mistakes, evolving in
new resources, will now only define your future in a positive way.
We’ll
help you foster a creative environment, allowing you to enter and
experience the state of flow in which you can achieve your goals
effortlessly. You will then fully enjoy the process of creating
something. You brain will become clear and bright, totally permeable to
new concepts and ideas and apt at spotting what it’ll generate,
seemingly magically, in golden opportunities.
