The forgotten friend...

Exercise our body is part of a healthy routine that must be used to follow, but if you're not doing it, don’t feel bad, is never too late to start. When we are in the gym we strive to exercise parts of our body that we believe need to be worked or achieve greater agility in our activities which will be reflected in our lifestyle. In my case, I'm not as tired as I was before when I walk a block or two, excellent, isn’t?

But, what can you tell me about that part of our body which we are unaware but nevertheless manages everything we do? That poor mass treasured in our heads and sometimes we too lazy to use. Yes! I mean our brain!

These are some exercises that can be used to exercise our brains:

1.       Set a goal in the number of ideas; as well as we have a number of sets of focused exercises to do in the gym, let us resolve to have a number of ideas per day, some will seem unbelievable or something crazy and in the begging it will cost us to start but it will be easier day per day.

2.       Pay attention; not be clueless (that too is a personal wake-up call, I must admit). Be attentive to everything around you and perhaps will find inspiration where you least expect it.

3.       Have habits but no obsessions; we are all creatures of habit but it that does not mean that we feel lost if our program is affected. We must be flexible to changes. Change is the only thing that is constant., Heraclitus. For example, make new friends, take a new route to work, Dress on differently than usual, try new experiences!

4.       Feed our minds; Gore Vidal quote: “the brain that is not fed, feeds on itself”. Choose a reading that will motivate our imagination, mythical stories or police for example, and think ahead of what could happen; imagine scenarios.

5.       Keep a diary of our ideas; write everything that happens to us in the day, at the beginning will be 2 or 3 lines but then will be 6, 10 or more. The flow will be higher each time and this can apply not only to our professional lives but to our business: creativity is a powerful tool for business. That is something we should implement right now! 

      So, star to exercise this forgotten friend and keep thinking!
