Tuesday Tip: Stretch

Posted by Jen on March 4, 2008

We are creatures of habit.  We don’t really like to do things that are outside of our comfort zone, physically or mentally.

Physical stretching isn’t necessarily comfortable.  Neither is mental stretching.

Creative stretching is even less comfortable, but just as necessary, if not more so.

Get out of your comfort zone and try something new.  It could be the spark you need to re-start your creativity.

    Great post! I just saw a show on Sunday night about the brain and they were saying how reading, and doing crosswords etc are all well and good but to really build the brain you need to do NEW things. That and being extremely focussed! That’s what I need to try.

    Thanks for a reminder! I think I’ve grown roots in the comfort zone.
