To brainstorm is to come up with new and inventive ideas, not only for the betterment of one’s life, but also for difficult issues which may arise in one’s life. New inventions are often thought up during brainstorming sessions and it’s good to have other people sit at the table pitching their ideas, bringing a diversity of creativity.
No idea is a bad idea. Just let the ideas flow and choose the one that’s best for the concern you’re dealing with. If you feel you don’t have time for a brainstorming session, snatch the time when engaged in other activities which don’t require a lot of thought, such as in the shower, or walking the dog.
You might have a boring job, one that’s done automatically and by rote. While at this mundane job, perhaps you could try using your time to brainstorm concepts for wealth creation, healthier living, improved relationships, or new and better positions in life, coming up with new and exciting ideas.
Even at home there’s areas in which you work where you can utilize your mind to become more effective: While you exercise, hang the laundry, mow the lawn. Even a 20-minute meditation can be of value.
Mostly our life comes into 7 categories. These areas are often referred to as the “7 F’s.” Faith, family, fitness, finances, friends, fun and function (employment). Each of these areas can all be improved upon and some need more work than others. Each area will be at a different level, for different people.
If your job is pretty mundane; i.e., doesn’t take a lot thought to do, make use of your mind. If you work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, that’s 40 hours of automatic action. That’s 40 hours every week you could be using your mind more effectively to think up new ways to improve your life.
Some jobs require using the mind a lot; accountants, lawyers, areas of interaction with others and the like. There are jobs though, like dishwashing, or lawnmowing, which don’t take a lot of thought. You can put this kind of job to better use by making better use of this time while you’re at it. That’s not to say these are bad jobs. You don’t have to be unhappy with your chosen vocation. All you need to do is be wise with that time.
Perhaps you’d like to work on a different issue than vocation. Perhaps this time could be used to consider ways to improve relationships, or perhaps learn a new language. What I’m saying is, don’t waste valuable time in mindless activities. Put that automatic rote to your advantage.
Let’s face it, we all have areas in life we could improve upon. If we begin to make the best use of our time, when the mind isn’t engaged in other activities, our life can be improved enormously. To do this, we need to be asking the right questions.
It’s no use worrying about why you don’t have any money. Instead, ask yourself how can you get more money. Or; what can I do today, to improve my relationship with … (insert name)?
Perhaps it’s another issue in life you may have. Ask yourself the right question and expect your mind to bring forth the answer, because it will, if you ponder the question long enough.
Did you know if you spend only 15 minutes once a week studying wealth creation, in a year you’ll have more knowledge than most people on the planet about the topic? That’s because hardly anyone does it.
Most people complain about not having enough money, but hardly anyone studies why. It’s the same for other avenues in life: building a business, maintaining relationships, having good health. If you spend just 15 minutes a week, you can become an expert in any field, in next no time.
Perhaps instead of lamenting the status quo, you could question and educate yourself on the topic so you can find the right answer and overcome the issue you’re facing.
Put a spotlight on the problem and laser focus on the issue, drawing out all the colours, until you have the big picture in mind and come up with an answer. And then act. Action is the key to great results.
Many people believe earth is the learning school of life and we are meant to be overcomer’s in whatever area we find ourselves lacking. Once you know your area of weakness, find a way to strengthen yourself. Turn your weakness into your strength. Learn how to overcome and then be
the best version of yourself, that you can be.
And remember the spiritual side of life. Life is more than what we see, feel, touch. There’s another element which can’t be ignored if you want the very best results.
