The Benefits Of Mindfulness Creativity

Theres a lot more to mindfulness practice than simply boosting your creativity. So the benefits Im going to describe, while very real, are really side effects of doing the mindfulness practices on a daily basis. If you are looking to get cerrtain things, youll probably be disappointed. On the other hand, if you just practice it for its own sake, you may be pleasantly surprised to discover yourself experiencing some or all of these.....

Focus - Concentration is essential to outstanding creative execution and performance. The simple act of focusing on your breathing day after day, will gradually improve your powers of concentration.

Patience- Meditation can be incredibly boring. For once in your life, youre not trying to do anything or think anything, just sit there and pay attention to your immediate experience. And you will encounter all kinds of resistance to doing it. If you can get past resistance to meditation, nothing else in life will be an obstacle.

Calmness- At first, youll be surprised, maybe even horrified, to discover how busy your mind is! Oh yes a non-stop stream of mental chatter. But if you stay with it, you should gradually find that your mind settles down as the months go by.

Clarity- Like calmness this can be gradual and intermittent to begin with. But you are likely to notice moments and even periods of mental clarity, when you see things clearly and your mind is sharper than usual,which makes problem-solving and decision-making easier.

Insight-. Youve probably had the experience of suddenly realizing the solution to a problem, even though you havent been consciously thinking of it. Or you may have experienced a moment of inspiration when a new idea flashes into your mind unbidden. If youre practicing meditation regularly, expect this to happen more often.

Perspective- When you spend time just being present and observing your breath, thoughts, feelings, and moment-to-moment experience, you start to realize how trivial most of our daily worries really are. Even in the midst of the daily grind, you can let go of the small stuff, and keep the big picture in view.

So, you see ALL thoses wonderful benefits you can gain with mindfulness practices? And all that peace, free open mind you can have for some creativity? So what will you do now? How will you become more creative in your daily lives?
