Big Think posted an article from NeuroPsych, Derek Beres, "Being Busy is Killing our Ability to Think Creatively," in July 2017. Here's why you should try to fit less—not more—into each day.
"The idea is to balance linear thinking—which requires intense focus—with creative thinking, which is borne out of idleness. Switching between the two modes seems to be the optimal way to do good, inventive work." Read the full article here.
You may also listen to Anand Ji speak to creativity on Sattva Connect; "Creativity arise from a still center. The creativity which is truly healing, and liberating and that changes the world does not come from the mind. It comes from the transcendental self, from the field of intelligence. The mind is only used as a tool in time to apply that intelligence. The field of creativity is beyond the mind."
Find stillness and unleash your creativity with the timeless teachings and practices offered on Sattva Connect.
