1. Breathe and get into state!
You are a genius. You have a human brain that is more powerful than any known computer.
2. Draw a mind-map!
Grab some coloured pens and paper. Draw a circle in the middle and write your challenge inside it.
3. Get some ingredients!
To cook a tasty dish, you need to mix different ingredients together. It's been said that all creativity is the act of putting old things or old ideas together in a new way. For ideas within a specific field, look at the old ideas within that field or related fields. Ask how you can put them together in a different way, a new format or perhaps the opposite way.
4. Grab a friend!When you combine minds, the "computing" power grows exponentially and is more powerful than the sum of its parts. The truth is that you only need 1 brain to get creative - yours!
5. Don't be yourself!
Take on a role. Do your thinking as James Bond, Napoleon Bonaparte, Martin Luther King, Albert Einstein or Dolly Parton! You are an immensely creative being. By acting as someone else, you free yourself to access other parts of your mind.
6. Close your eyes!
Shutting your eyes immediately transports you into the world of the subconscious and you can tap into its extraordinary non-stop thinking power. Allow yourself to relax, make the journey down and think about your challenge at a deep inner level. Return when you are ready, feeling refreshed, renewed and ready to fire up your ideas.
7. A little Divine Inspiration!
Here's an energy exercise much favoured by the hottest Hollywood stars. Imagine that there is a golden circle of light right in front of you - this is your spotlight - your place to shine! Step inside that circle of light and feel the energy and confidence that it gives you. Ask your Higher Self to fill you with energy, inspiration and ideas.
8. Rob a bank!
Grab sackfuls of quality ideas from an ideas bank and run with them! There are various idea banks on the Internet, as well as thousands of blogs, message boards and chatrooms where ideas are mooted.
9. Milk your brain!
Milk will only flow from a cow when its teats are squeezed under pressure. It's the same with your brain! To milk your brain for a bucketful of creme-de-la-creme ideas, you have to squeeze your brain and put it under pressure.
10. The Inquisitive Inquisition!The brain is a stimulus and response bio-machine. The best way to stimulate it is to ask questions. Questions awaken your creative responses. Remember, the meaning of your communication is in the response you get. So, if you are getting lousy answers, you need to ask better questions. Interview and interrogate your brain to get the flow of ideas you want.
