Think

Did you ever notice when we make time to think creativity blossoms. Sales ideas come out of nowhere when we make time to think. When you want to create a new business, or a product, or you’re trying to determine how to increase your sales and revenue, it is important to find a quiet space or time frame for focused thought. In today’s world of high tech and always being connected it can be hard to find that elusive quiet or down time to think.

Here are some ideas of how creative thinkers find time to think of new ideas:

Turn off your devices and eat a meal by yourself. Your mind will then be free to unload any stress, relax and incorporate new ideas. Play a game and let your mind wander. Games such as Sudoku, other word games or even card games get the creative side of your brain moving. Create short breaks into your daily routine. I call them mental health breaks and they can be as little as one hour or can be a whole day. Find that place of solitude where the daily grind strips away. If you are a work out person go early when it is empty and combine your workout with music and watch the creativity flow. Make time for yourself by taking a vacation or at least a long weekend.

Why is it essential to create time to think? Thinking is what our brain does all day in our subconscious. The ideas are already there however we must create the downtime for the ideas to come to our conscious mind. When we allow the time to think and our ideas start flooding our thoughts we become innovative and we see our sales increase.
