3 Habits that Destroy your Creativity

There are many habits that can destroy your creativity, but finally I pick 3 of them that really need to avoid... or you need to realize right away

1. Watching TV/movies too much
Watching tv is a fun thing to do, especially when we watch our favorite tv program/ channel/ movie, I like watching movies too. But when it comes to the level of too much which means watching tv is part of your life, is a must or you could die if you don't watch it, man, you have just created a brain wash machine to your brain.

It's ok if you don't agree with the term of brain wash machine, but the point is this, if you spend time too much watching tv in a day and you do it every single day, it means that you just let your brain get influenced by something you watch. maybe you would say "I know how to filter my self when watching tv".

yes, as an adult, we can filter the information that we receive when watching tv/movies, but do you realize that you still get influenced by them?

Let say you watch horror movie or something scary . Try not to be afraid by telling your self like this "I knew he's going to die, he's not a hero here" or "haha, that knife is fake, that blood is fake, and all scary faces are fake, you can't fool me". 

now, at night, turn off the tv, turn off the light, turn off the phone, make sure there's  no sound and no body around you. Stay there not doing anything and listen to the clock ticking. How do you feel?

if you feel no fear, at least you still remember the movie you watched right?

if you open your eyes, it means what ever you see, recorded inside of your subconscious mind, no matter how smart or genius you are, you still get influenced by what you see around you, moreover the movie you love to see.

2. Talk too much
 the more you talk, the less you listen. open minded people love to learn and grow, that's why they listen more than talk. if you are busy talking about something, it gives more pressure or Resistance to your sub conscious mind and when sub conscious mind meets high resistance, it won't do the creativity process there and of course, hard to make fresh ideas in that moment.

3. No Break moment
Maybe I'll explain tomorrow, it's midnight here, but the point is sometimes you need to stop what you are doing and try to get rest and relax for a moment. Doing this will help your body to rest and of course, when the body is taking a rest, your mind is following too. Stress is going down and at the same time the resistance is low as well in sub conscious mind.

but if you always get busy, busy and busy. even you take a rest but your mind is still thinking about work work and work. It's going to be difficult I guess for your subconscious mind to produce fresh ideas in a long term.
