\u00a0Selflessness,\u00a0self-centeredness or selfishness?\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/h3>\n

When your existence here and your perception of people and the world around you is rooted in yourself, IS IT possible to be selfless?\u00a0\u00a0If you try, will you only be pretending to be selfless?\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>\u201cI want all of you to be blissed out\u201d<\/em> \u2013 even this statement is selfish hence<\/span>\u00a0the term\u00a0<\/span>\u201cI want”.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

A mother takes care of her child not just because of selflessness but also because of deep selfishness. That is what also gives her joy and happiness.\u00a0 A soldier may be willing to die for his country out of perceived selflessness but there is also a very strong sense of selfishness. This act is what is going to fulfill him \u2013 that is why he also does it.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

There is nothing right or wrong with being selfish in this way because it is the nature of how we function, at least in your selfishness you can want the best that you want for yourself but also make the connection for the entire Universe.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>This is not about ego it is about the design of life.\u00a0 <\/span>When people become non-judgmental\u00a0about their selfishness this becomes obvious. So on with really enhancing Self to be the best for all!<\/span><\/p>\n

Below are some tips to help you get started in cultivating Self further to unlock the Uniqueness within.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Listen to music<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Jamming out stimulates the part of our brain that controls motor actions, emotions, and creativity.\u00a0 Classical music might give us an extra boost: for <\/span>example,\u00a0listening to Mozart can increase creativity, concentration, and other cognitive functions.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Dance<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Dance can be\u00a0a fully-fledged art form, belonging to the “performing arts”<\/em> – a goal in itself and a means of allowing a human being to express his inner feelings, thoughts and experiences.\u00a0 Dance is a natural form of self-expression; the body expresses itself naturally and so, therefore, does the spirit.\u00a0\u00a0We are all free-willed beings, no matter what our personal situation may be.\u00a0 Through dance, our body expresses how free we actually are, while also highlighting the restrictions our minds impose on it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3. Meditate<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n

Stuck in a mental rut?\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0When panic strikes, try meditating: it\u00a0promotes divergent thinking, a state of mind in which we\u2019re able to generate new ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

4. Get someone else’s opinion<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to ask for help.\u00a0 A friend might mention something that sparks a whole new stream of thought.\u00a0 The more ideas and perspectives, the better.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Write by hand<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Skip the Word doc and pick up a pen instead.\u00a0 Sometimes the whole experience of writing by hand\u2014the ink on our fingers, the smell of a fresh notebook\u2014is all it takes to get creative juices flowing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

6. Daydream<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

What was I saying?\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>Oh, right.\u00a0 We tend to take a more creative approach to problems when our mind is\u00a0wandering\u00a0(less so when we\u2019re hunched over a computer with a deadline looming.)\u00a0 So don\u2019t worry about zoning out for a few minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

7. Look at something blue or green<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

These colors tend to enhance performance on cognitive tasks.\u00a0 Researchers say that\u2019s because we associate blue with the ocean, sky, and openness in general, while green signals growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know there are Chakra colors<\/strong><\/a> for the days of the week?\u00a0 Wearing a certain color or carrying a certain stone with you on a particular day will help you to <\/span>raise your vibration<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

8. Gesture with two hands<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Odd but true: one study found using two hands to explain something prompts the brain to consider issues from multiple perspectives.\u00a0 (It\u2019s also possible that using the left hand stimulates creative <\/span>thought since left-handed people tend to be more creative\u00a0in general.)<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

9. Lie down<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Research found people were better at solving anagrams when they were lying down versus sitting up.\u00a0 It might not fly in an office meeting, but test it out during the next solo brainstorming sesh.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

10. Rethink labels<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Pick an object and break it into parts.\u00a0 (So a flower becomes stalk, leaves, petals, and pollen.)\u00a0 It\u2019s called the \u201cgeneric-parts technique\u201d<\/em> and people trained to think this way were better at solving problems through creative insight than people who weren\u2019t given the training.<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Laugh a little<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

According to some studies, a positive mood can facilitate creativity because it boosts activity in the prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex (areas of the brain associated with complex cognition, decision-making, and emotion).\u00a0 Even if you\u2019re not feeling cheery, letting out a hearty chuckle can actually trigger a positive mood\u2014so get silly to get creative.<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Spend time outside<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Remember the thrill of being a kid running through the playground, making up games and adventures?<\/em>\u00a0 Bring that feeling back simply by getting a dose of green.\u00a0 Being in natural settings is like playtime for adults: it taps into all five senses, energizes the body, and, most importantly, stimulates the imagination.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

13. Create with your hands<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

High-five!\u00a0 Thumbs up!\u00a0 Those ten fingers are the tools for expressing our mind and interacting with others.\u00a0 Making something by hand can be a huge creativity boost.\u00a0 Producing something by hand also means getting information from multiple senses at once, which can stimulate creative thinking.\u00a0 Try\u00a0cooking, knitting, or a DIY home decorating project.<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Get Social<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n

When we spend time with people we trust, we tend to have deeper conversations.\u00a0 These chats often lead to creative thinking because we\u2019re able to be ourselves and talk freely about our passions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

15. Exercise<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

When we\u2019re physically active, the body loosens up and our mind is a little freer.\u00a0 So it\u2019s easier to come up with solutions to problems and think of new ideas.\u00a0 Plus one\u00a0recent study\u00a0found regular exercisers performed better on creative tasks than their less active peers did.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

16. Don’t stress about perfection<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

It\u2019s okay if that painting doesn\u2019t make it to the MOMA.\u00a0 Putting pressure on yourself to produce something outstanding can actually make it harder to create anything at all.\u00a0 A lot of people secretly feel, “I\u2019m not creative”.<\/em>\u00a0 But everyone is creative to a certain degree, just try your best and see what happens.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

17. Make a creativity room<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Designate a physical space for creativity in the house and include objects related to hobbies, mementos from favorite memories, and vision boards featuring possible projects.\u00a0 Not enough space?<\/em>\u00a0 Try a \u201ccreativity corner\u201d<\/em> in a single room.\u00a0 The brain will get into the habit of being creative every time we\u2019re in that area.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

18. Free think and write ideas down<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Instead of worrying about remembering ideas (what\u00a0was\u00a0that brilliant story idea again<\/em>?) you\u2019ll have room to come up with new ones.\u00a0 It\u2019s called brain dumping, (also called \u201cfree-association<\/em>\u201d) or writing down everything that comes to mind without worrying about revising.\u00a0 Then later, if you feel so inclined, go back over your ideas and consider which ones are worth keeping.<\/span><\/p>\n

19. Improve your diet<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

What we eat can affect our creative energies.\u00a0 Processed foods high in trans fats, excessive sodium, <\/span>and sugar, as well as artificial ingredients, can drain us of creativity.\u00a0 Those foods can leave us feeling foggy, uninspired and downright bored, not to mention lethargic, sick and disease-prone.<\/span><\/p>\n

20. Cleanse stagnant energies<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re feeling stuck, negative, sluggish, or even downright depressed, it may be due to some stagnant energy in your field.\u00a0 This\u00a0field can include your emotional, energetic, mental, spiritual or physical body, and your environment\u2014whether it\u2019s your home, office, or other physical space.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stagnant or negative energy can have extremely detrimental effects on your mental and physical state and is even believed to manifest into things like a lack of happiness and success as well as pain and disease.<\/span><\/p>\n
