Slow down you're thinking too fast**. Can you relate to "thinking too fast" or maybe "thinking too much"? Sometimes it seems like we just have to talk or our minds will explode, and often the need to talk happens while someone else is already explaining or sharing what's important to them.
Daily writing in a journal may be the best exercise for growing your creative side there is. Journal writing tunes you into yourself while at the same time taking you outside of yourself. ## Dive deeply into the paradox and let your creative side shine.
Many of the world's great cites have huge parks either surrounding them or right within city limits that offer hiking and scenery that can't be beat. Hiking not only expands your experience while visiting these jewels of civilization, but can also reinvigorate a flagging spirit and help you reinvent how you see things.
We can now catch fire in a bottle (smart phone) Finding the right documentary film or the perfect book for the creative person can be like finding a portable muse.

I'm late, I'm late for ## A very important date. ## No time to say hello, good-bye, ## I'm late, I'm late, I'm late ## I'm late and when I wave, ## I lose the time I save. ## My fuzzy ears and whiskers ## Took me too much time to shave.

Simplicity takes work, there I said it. It's easy to live a complicated life but to live and think simply means paying attention to your choices. And attention is one of those things that most of us don't find to be a natural skill.
Finding a direction or path to something new or finding something long ago forgotten often fails unless we Suspend Judgment. Think about walking into a room and seeing two people you know you disagree with on most subjects, what's the chance of discovering creativity or innovation when you've already marginalized people and their ideas.
