Creative Meditation

You are creative.

If you are not familiar with how to tap into that force of your nature, then try what I call “Active Creative Meditation”.

What I have learned is that if you establish a playground for your creativity, then your brain is free to connect dots that you may not have even known were there.

So what you need to do is quiet yourself on a regular basis and then give your creativity permission to go wild.

This is a simple yet powerful tool for your business, and as a small business owner it’s your responsibility to make space in your life for creativity and the reimagining of your future.

Traditional meditation can be a great way to quiet your mind and focus on the challenge ahead. It is a fantastic tool for well being, and a great thing to weave into everyday life – but that doesn’t personally work for my own creativity.

Here’s what does work, and why I call it “Active Meditation”: Any repetitive physical motion that does not require a high level of mental engagement.

Examples include:

1. Jogging on an empty road

2. Cycling on a stationary bike

3. Fly fishing a slow section of river

4. Swimming laps in a pool

These are all activities that engage your body, but release your mind from any burdens. It’s a safe place for your mind to go nuts.

What is a way that you can engage in Active Meditation, rethinking your business?
