Mind Pumping

When reading mind pumping it made me think of different ways that you can use to help your creativity grow. They talked about ten topics some that i really enjoyed where the set an idea quota, Create a Brain bank, and be a travel junkie. When you set an idea quote what you are doing is different things to help your brain work each day like think of five new ideas each day for a week and then try and do some of the new ideas. Doing these things will help your mind grow to become more creative. When you use the Create a Brain bank all you need to do is when you are reading a magazine, book, or just looking at pictures if there is something that triggers your imagination you just write it down or tare it out. Then you put it in a box, when you need a good idea you go to this box and you take out your different pieces of information. I used to do this with quotes and photos i have a couple binders and a box. I would use the pictures and quotes to help me trigger my imagination to start a story or writhing pieces i would do. Another fun thing to do they mention in the article is being a travel junkie as they call it. You just pick yourself us and go somewhere, go to a store, park, go on a hike, go anywhere. I used to do this with my older sister when she would come home from college. We would get in the car around midnight and go to Wal-Mart, go all around the store pick up random stuff and pretend like we were buying stuff for a new house or apartment. We would pick everything out and then put everything back where it belonged. But the whole point of the event was going and having fun it would bring are inner child out and that’s just what you want to do with creativity. To be as creative as we can be i think you need to look at it as you are a little kid and when you had no care in the world you had the biggest imagination you could think of.
