beautiful day

What a beautiful day today!
Putting things behind you and looking forward really makes a difference.
The world brightens and your view on things becomes more positive - hopeful even.
Last week was half good/bad. Went on a "date" (not even sure if it was a real date or not) Wednesday, had fun anyways. But then, to finish off the week I got some pretty bad news and criticism from work and also lost a tournament. Creativity and productivity went down dramatically.

When you're held back with negative emotions and thoughts, creativity and insight is hampered. When stressed, or bummed out, try to do something relaxing; try to do something you enjoy. It'll help take your mind off issues that are dragging you down.
For me, I often just hit the gym. When it's me and the weights, my mind is completely blank. After my workout my body and mind feels refreshed; ready to tackle any problems thrown at my way.
This also can help improve brain chemistry and brings more oxygenated blood into your brain.
Taking your mind off negativities will help you refocus on problems and you'll find more innovative solutions. This is a great way to come up with creative, innovative ideas.
