How a few minutes’ exercise can unleash creativity – even if you hate it

Can exercise boost creativity? Illustration: Tim Bouckley/The Guardian

If you often find yourself dawdling away the day, frustrated that your brain won’t click into gear, then the answer to your mind’s logjam may well actually lie in your legs. Need to get your creative juices flowing? Get moving. A long line of influential thinkers have instinctively moved their bodies to open their minds, from Darwin, who advanced his theory of evolution while accumulating laps of his “thinking path”, to Nietzsche, who in 1888 warned: “Do not believe any idea that was not born in the open air and of free movement.” And now scientists are not just confirming the link between exercise and creativity, but unpicking precisely how it works. In this investigation, Sam Pyrah speaks to the experts drawing ever-stronger links between physical exercise and creative output. “Even a single, brief bout of aerobic exercise can ignite creative thinking,” Dr Chong Chen of Yamaguchi University, Japan, tells her. Creative thinking can be divided into two aspects – the drawing of associations between unrelated things that is the creation of ideas, known as divergent thinking, and the weighing up of the value of such ideas, known as convergent thinking. Studies have demonstrated that the former is stimulated by everything from dancing and running to simply walking up stairs. As Amir-Homayoun Javadi, a reader in cognitive neuroscience at the University of Kent, explains: “When performed regularly, aerobic activity can trigger structural changes, such as increased brain volume, particularly of the hippocampus, which benefit many aspects of cognition. This gives the brain more potential to be creative.” + Read more: All it takes is a quick walk’: how a few minutes’ exercise can unleash creativity – even if you hate it

Lose Our Fear

Are you creative? Do you live a creative life?

Not exactly convinced we get this question asked of us very often, but “are you creative?”

Personally, I believe that we are all creative. That each one of us has the ability to create “works of art(you can define that however, you like)” that the world and universe desperately want and needs to be part of existence – to be seen and savoured.

Many of you will argue that point.

I’ve often heard people say of themselves, “well…I don’t have a creative bone in my body.” Rubbish – I don’t believe that for even a nanosecond.

Perhaps we’re stuck on the phrases “are you creative?” and “do you live a creative life?” There are more articles and papers on the definition of those two phrases than one might care to look at. But, consider this.

Although we perceive creativity as being…

Obediance 😎

Try to get it!

Obediance is against creativity
Our Minds create our reality
Following others kills identity
Every finger has a unique print
And this is definately a clear hint
We can Not accept others
Unless we accept ourselves
All societies suffer from a social disease
Which can diminish Or increase
Some societies reject discussion
Others accept argumentation
Allah accepts to hear
He has a kind great ear
But some humans refuse to hear
Except only for their cheer
Hearing others is an art
Bestowed only by the smart
Hear and fiter what you receive
You May refuse Or believe
Sohair
Allah says
This is a blessed book which
We have revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of understanding would be reminded
كِتَٰبٌ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَيۡكَ مُبَٰرَكٞ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوٓاْ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُوْلُواْ ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ

The meaning of life – Finding purpose

To remember

• When little feeling unless I was there to perceive it, the world did not exist => ended & was created anew every time
• thought myself to be creator + center of the universe
• when child > feeling so much more important than a rational thought.
• India > Landing in multicultural & multicolored chaos = landed on a different planet =>. India must surely seize to exist when I am not there.
• consecutive conclusion that every single human being must feel the same way > each & every one of us = universe all on our own, made up of silently verbalized thoughts, feelings, mental images, and subconscious impulses.
• Charles Dickens = master of tapping into all these different universes > each human being that lives, has lived and will live, is a story, a uniquely fantastic story with a unique plot and characters.
• all made up of the same stardust => one = beautiful human paradox > both sameness, oneness, unity, + absolute + irrevocably unique.
•  all of us relevant to history of life of human kind
• When there is not two of the same in a circumstance =>each part important + unconditionally valuable => all have unique creativity, thoughts, imagination, insights +  talents, => important to human kind + its history => gives meaning
• individualism = selfishness + self-centeredness = opposite of cooperation, generosity +  compassion.
•  Abraham Maslow psychologist who gave us famous pyramid of human needs > bottom solid foundation of life > cannot live without (food, water + shelter) > top > self-actualization.
• learned to pin-point our strengths + weaknesses, explore our talents + analyze our personality traits + learned to use this self-insight to expand our empathy =>mental health determined by outer circumstances = key to why individualism is not just a big ego-trip <= believe in oneself & value of one’s life in the world 1°learn to trust  something valuable to bring = self-actualization.

=> the more uniqueness = the more difference to make in the world.
