Experiencing a clogged brain? Flush the icky gunk from your brain with Creative Draino – now more droning than ever!
I’m highly active. When I watch TV, I inhale it. I’m not the best at vegging out. Sometimes my brain gets overstimulated and it shuts down to creativity.
What do I do when my brain is overstimulated and shutting down? I find the most mundane and numbing activity I can and go for it. For me, that means mowing the lawn, showering, vacuuming a large area or driving long distances on the highway in silence.
Because all those activities involve an element of danger, I don’t allow my brain to get too distracted by external stimuli. I also don’t completely focus on the activity, leaving me a lot of creative brain space. Then the drone of the lawn mower, water, vacuum or road seems to stimulate the brain to create.
My best ideas come when my mind is droning. Try it out! Relax, clear your mind and engage in droning mundanity. See what brilliance strikes.
I have to agree. Cutting grass always gets it for me!
When I used to write songs…mowing the grass was the best. Unfortunately it's hard to remember the amazing melodies and lyrics that come to you while mutilating plants. 😛
