Creativity: How to Help Your Brain Get More of It

Creativity is the fuel of new ideas for your business. Even math teachers need creativity at least to find a better way to teach math to their students. How to increase it? Creativity is only possible after getting new knowledge. Only by knowing what is possible to do you can pick that information and apply it to somewhere else. So before going for brainstorm groups read a new book or Stumble the technology channel on Stumble Upon. The next thing to do is to exercise. While moving your body your brain will have more oxygen and glucose to work and will even release chemicals that help you think better (Brain Rules). How much exercise? It does not need to last long, it only needs to be intensive.

Resting for 5 minutes every hour is another smart move. It’s easy to lose track of time and over work. When this happens you make worse decisions, you become irritated with your work mates, you might even shot at your boss and risk your job. While you rest those five minutes, go for a small walk. Also do remember to eat and drink frequently. Your brain is 80% and powers itself only with glucose so lacking these two things makes it very prone to malfunction.

Drinking energy drinks might give you a boost but they will also reduce your energy levels for the next two days after drinking because they make the body work more and longer than it should so be wise drinking such things. Use them only for activities that require peak performance from you.
