The original Mindfulness was written for those struggling to cope with the frantic pace of modern life. Mindfulness for Creativity is written for those who want to optimise their life, work and overall wellbeing. The simple mindfulness techniques at the heart of the book have been proven to enhance creativity, problem solving and decision making. They also dissolve anxiety, stress and depression while enhancing mental resilience and overall wellbeing. The four week programme takes just 10-20 minutes per day. How does it work? The easy-to-follow programme clears your mind and allows innovative ideas to take form and crystallise. It also soothes the mind and dissolves stress. This, in turn, allows your mind to work more effectively so that you can begin to solve problems faster and more intuitively.
Mindfulness helps decision-making largely by dissolving anxiety, stress, frustration and depression. Even if you have none of these problems you will still find yourself feeling happier, sleeping better and becoming fully engaged with life once again. Mindfulness also creates a mental vantage point from which you can observe just how much of your life is controlled by habitual ways of thinking and approaching the world. Such renewed clarity will help you tackle the habits that constrain creativity and effective problem solving. Habit breaking is as simple as taking a different route to work or spending a little time walking round the park soaking up the sights, sounds and smells. Such simple things broaden awareness, spark curiousity and open the doors to serendipity. The accompanying CD contains 6 meditations that you can use to build an ongoing practice, mixing and matching meditations to suit your circumstances.
