FEAR -- THE GREAT ENEMY OF CREATIVITY


Fear has stopped people dead in their tracks – inhibited their abilities to grow and live life more abundantly. When we're fearful, we freeze up, stress out, withdraw from social events and end up living a life of lesser fulfillment.

Creativity brings about a sense of joy; happiness and balance into ones life. Look into the face of two young children drawing pictures – one won’t draw, for fear that everyone will laugh and the other, completely uninhibited and playful as though he/she hasn’t a care in the world. For both children creativity has a lot to do with their willingness to take risks – simple little risks that help us overcome procrastination, fear of rejection, fear of failure and fear of change.

Creativity is life altering. However, for many it becomes life threatening by bringing about change and we are terrified of change. But, it is creativity that allows positive change in the world and in our personal lives. It is what great leaders, business owners, and innovators bring to a prosperous and adventurous life that we are all entitled to enjoy.

Creativity comes from accepting that you have to let go of control. You need to let go of old world ideas -- not values. Businesses die everyday because of the fear harbored in people whose creativity has dried up because they are locked up in their little cocoon of false security, false fears and fighting the inevitable -- change.

Creativity comes from accepting and seeing things from a different perspective and stepping outside the normal channels of doing things. You can’t be creative while conforming to everything. You have to realize that what makes you different also makes you creative and creativity comes from our desire to play without fear of rejection, fear of failure and the fear of losing control.

The business of today is obsolete tomorrow -- A large part of innovation, in companies today, is welcoming differences. You have to be open to the unusual and understand that difference is often more positive, than negative. Overcoming the fear of change enables creativity and the ability to see something unusual and to recognize that the answer may lie in its difference.

Two keys to creativity that spark innovation are the ability to think beyond relatively conventional paradigms and to examine traditional constraints using nontraditional thinking. The second is to be able to go outside your own frame of reference and find another way to look at a problem.

Rekindle your creativity -- stop fighting the inevitable by embracing change. Work with these suggestions for making positive changes in your personal and business life.

1. Creativity comes from having an inquisitive mind --. It is the inquisitive mind that is asking, how can I, do it different with better results.

2. Creativity comes from letting go of control. If you are a traditional and “good old days” thinker – let go and move your thinking into now and the future.

3. Creativity comes from looking at something from a different perspective. As an exercise, recreate all of your business or company’s brochures – color schemes, typeface, themes and copy. Experience and appreciate the different.

4. Creativity comes from moving outside your industry norms -- challenge the status quo and statements like – this is the way we have always done it or this will not work in our industry. Look for alternatives for solving business and personal problems

Creativity comes from an active mind – positive self-talk and use of affirmations will stimulate the inactive mind.

Mind Upgrade -- Face Value of Visual Communication Dynamics


In your face marketing and selling, visual communication dynamics overwhelmingly influence our thinking and behavior. We are dynamically visual beings by nature. The eye is the most powerful information conduit to the brain -- continually feeding us images that create our perception of the world and shapes how we think behave and respond.

We think and dream in picture and images and the words we hear are processed and transformed into mental pictures. Images and sounds dominate human communication and as consumers we have come to expect media rich, entertaining dynamic visuals in advertising and marketing materials. What was once a trip to a shopping mall to purchase goods and services has turned into a visual entertainment event.

Thinking the Pain Away; Patients can use imaging technology to control paincenters in the brain


The American Association for the Advancement of Science has released the following news article:

Researchers have developed a potentially powerful new tool that allows patients to fight pain by literally thinking it away. Volunteers put inside a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) machine were able to control the activity of a brain region responsible for pain perception, suggesting that the technology may someday provide a drug- and side-effect-free way to calm troubled nerves.

People have been using a technique called biofeedback for decades to control automatic body functions such as heart rate and muscle tone. By focusing on their pulse rate on a monitor, for example, people can actually lower it, in an attempt to relax. People have also learned to modulate their own brain waves, say, to move computer cursors. Christopher deCharms, the chief executive of Omneuron, a Menlo Park, California-based company developing clinical applications for functional brain imaging, wondered whether people could learn to dial up or down activity in a particular brain region to produce a therapeutic effect.

To find out, deCharms teamed up with pain specialist Sean Mackey and his colleagues at Stanford University. The researchers placed eight healthy volunteers one at a time in an fMRI machine, which maps the brain by region, and had them hold a very hot metal cube. A virtual reality display inside the machine depicted a flame whose intensity reflected the activity of their rostral anterior cingulate cortex (rACC), an arc-shaped brain region that previous studies had implicated strongly in pain perception.

Using the fiery feedback, the subjects learned to raise or lower the activity of the rACC by alternatively focusing on or away from the pain, or thinking of the heat as neutral or frightening. The better they controlled their rACC activity, the better they controlled the self-reported intensity of their pain. By contrast, volunteers who were asked to change their rACC activity without fMRI feedback, or with sham feedback from another brain region or from another volunteer's rACC, could not effectively do so, and also failed to control their pain, the researchers report online this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "We feel this is very strong evidence that the real-time fMRI information was necessary for this effect," deCharms says. The team also saw improvement with eight chronic pain patients who were taught to control activation of their rACC.

"It's a really interesting and potentially important finding," says Robert Dowman, a pain researcher at Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York. "This gives us another possible modality for [chronic pain] therapy that doesn't involve drugs." But don't expect a home version any time soon. Dowman notes that the $2 million price tag of fMRI machines will likely limit the method's practicality for the foreseeable future.

NOTE: At Hypmovation Inc. our 38 years of case studies and results have proven that the techniques we use with clients through hypnosis produce a therapeutic effect of pain control.

    The Secret of Weight Loss!

    Lose Weight NOW!


    In the medical community, "obesity" is generally said to be present in women with more than 30% body fat and men with more than 25% body fat. "Morbid obesity," a more serious condition still, occurs when a person is 50-100% or 100 pounds above his or her ideal body weight or has more than 39% body fat. Medical problems commonly associated with morbid obesity include diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, certain cancers (including breast and colon cancer), depression, and osteoarthritis.

    Obesity among the American population is a serious epidemic. The results of a 1999-2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey indicate that an estimated 64% of U.S. adults are either overweight or obese.

    Millions of people approach weight control, focusing on the symptom. The symptom being the weight itself. These people put all their energy into baking it off, working it off, starving it off, or all kinds of fad diets.

    They all experience the ups and downs on the weight charts and scale. This makes for a lot of upset and depressed people who think that they will never solve the problem of eliminating, permanently, those excess pounds and inches.

    The only time that anyone has to be concerned with weight control is when they are eating. The fact of the matter is that people are concerned with weight before they eat and they beat themselves up after they eat. While people are eating there is no concern.

    We spend a small amount of time each day eating and that is the only time that people have to increase their conscious awareness and focus on developing proper eating habits.

    If you are overweight, you may be so because you formed a habit of eating improperly.

    By re-educating your eating habits, you will find that you still enjoy eating and for much more positive reasons. You'll eliminate weight -- and you won't regain it.

    The plan is very basic, simple, and easy. Every week, for a period of six weeks, you are going to practice a new and different mental exercise to help you change your eating habits.


    WEEK ONE: Sit down to eat and drink. Even if it's only a piece of gum or a sip of water, sit down! This will help eliminate the unconscious snacking that is so much a part of being overweight. This also eliminates tasting foods for those who cook.


    WEEK TWO: Relax! Take a minute to breathe comfortably and be thankful for the food in front of you. This will help you become aware of the foods that you eat and the way in which you eat them.


    WEEK THREE: Chew your food well. Sip your drinks. Take small bites. Depending on what you are eating, chew from 25 to 40 times with each mouthful. By consuming small portions and eating more slowly, your taste buds will have a chance to get the full and wonderful flavor from the nutritious foods you are eating.

    Your stomach will have a chance to tell your mind that you are full and satisfied and that you require a smaller amount of food than before. It can take the same amount of time to eat a small amount of food as it does to eat a large amount.


    WEEK FOUR: Get rid of bad emotions and frustrations. if you have a problem or transaction that you are working on, clear your mind before you eat. Eating out of frustration is a very common bad habit.


    WEEK FIVE: Think about the food you eat, especially the flavor.

    WEEK SIX: Leave something on your plate (besides your fork). We’re conditioned to clean everything from our plates and programmed to believe that cleaning our plates will help starving children elsewhere in the world or that it’s a sin to waste food.

    OTHER ATTITUDES TO CONSIDER

    1. Refer to diets as menus.

    2. Refer to losing weight as eliminating weight permanently.

    3. Use smaller plates and glasses.

    4. Serve yourself smaller portions.

    5. Use one room in the house in which to eat, perhaps even one chair.

    6. Keep a diary of the food you eat.

    In addition to these exercises, it is important that you utilize the techniques learned in altered- states (hypnosis) to effect habit change and visualize exactly the way you want to look.

    Imagine yourself standing on your bathroom scale and looking down at the weight you want to be.

    Some sample weight control suggestions:

    1. I weigh ___ pounds and am slim, healthy, and attractive.

    2. I eat only those healthful, nutritious foods that allow me to maintain my weight at ___ pounds.

    3. I eat my meals slowly and enjoy every bite. I taste and savor my food better than ever before.

    4. The desire to eliminate fat from my body is stronger than ever before. I am, on a daily basis, eating less and enjoying food more, and the desire to eliminate weight is stronger than the desire to eat.

    5. I see myself as being slim, trim, firm and solid. I think thin.

    6. I am staying satisfied for longer periods of time. The desire to eliminate unnatural fat from my body is stronger than my desire to eat. I see fattening eating behavior and I have no desire to indulge in such behavior. I enjoy being slim, trim, thin and slender.


    By utilizing these behavior modification suggestions you will completely re-educate your eating habits and will have formed a successful pattern for creating and maintaining a slim, trim, permanent new shape.
