Improv Techniques
Improv And Increased Imagination
Visualization is the process by which you create images with your mind. When you hold an image in your mind there is a total effect in your body and environment. Coaches and athletes as well as mystics and gurus know this and use this to affect desired outcomes in their life. To hold a thought of what is not actual in your physical experience is referred to as imagination… imaging the real as a potential. So just by the very act of desiring more creativity and imagining that you already have it, you start to open that door to that opportunity.
Creativity is the process by which you create another “something” with your mind. Creativity can be either something completely new or a change for the better on something current or just the ability to see something differently. Great minds and noted celebrities of the past used creativity to be exceptional and not to be confined by what was assumed to be the norm.
So some tips to increasing your creativity and therefore your success in your desired outcomes in life.
Creativity is all about using the mind so doing things where you think more is a great way to increase your ability to be creative.
* Do some Improv exercises these stimulate the mind and are a lot of fun as well as being healthy (see Health Benefits of Laughter).
*TV relaxes the mind while reading engages and activates the mind. Doing some reading each night before bed will both exercise your brain and lead to some interesting dreams, for your last thoughts can get contemplated as you sleep.
*Take a word and see how many other words you can make from it. For example LAUGHTER… contains HAT, RAT, LAG, HAG, HUG, GREAT, EAT, HAT, HEAT etc. This is training your mind to see things differently.
* Randomly pick 3 words from the dictionary and then create a mythical animal, or a sentence that uses those three words, or a title of movie or anything you like. Have some fun and play it as a game with some friends. Spin a bottle and who ever it points to has to make up a song with the three words or a limerick.
* Take a walk while you ponder a situation. Walking is great as it stimulates blood flow to the brain and a change of environment gives you more stimuli for creative ideas.
* Listen to some classical music, there has been a lot of studies for how Mozart and other classical composer’s music affects and opens the brain to new activity.
Remember what ever you are doing have fun with it, life is a great thing to be experiencing when filled with joy.
