बचपन की सहजता को गुम न होने दें…: यह रचनात्मकता बढ़ाती है, कम्फर्ट जोन से निकलें, यादगार पल मिलेंगे

Expert said- sometimes work without planning, it will be easier to be spontaneous.

My nine-year-old son jumps, skips, spreads his arms, has nothing to do with music, but starts dancing to any tune just like that… Such spontaneity is seen only in childhood. This is what health, science and tech expert Matt Fuchs says.

Fuchs says as we grow older, this spontaneity decreases. Remember, life is an adventure, and sometimes the most memorable moments are when we step out of our comfort zone. Spontaneity can give a new dimension to our life. Know how this will happen from the experts…

It is difficult to stay focused 24×7, sometimes surprise yourself; avoid overthinking…

Let thoughts wander

Go for a walk without making any plans. While walking, imagine and forget the way. Andrews Hannah, a neuroscience expert at Duke University, says, ‘You cannot focus your mind 24/7. That is why I often workout without making a to-do list and without any distraction. I let my thoughts wander. Sandeep Robert Dutta, a neurobiologist at Harvard, says that his father has Parkinson’s disease. He gets excited when I take him to the mall, beach or a new place without telling him.

Sit down to write what you want

Freewriting can also help you ease yourself, says Edward Slingerland, a professor of philosophy at the University of British Columbia. The practice of writing your thoughts without stopping and without worrying about rules is called freewriting.

Play with children

Andrews-Hannah plays with children for some time during the day, she says, ‘Instead of explaining things to them, I try to adapt to their way of thinking. This is very difficult for us, but it is natural for a 3-4 year old child. This helps me a lot in connecting with them and making my thinking flexible. This activity has opened my neural connections. I have started feeling good.’

try not to try

Sometimes, Slingerland says, effort and overthinking can hinder performance and creativity. Spontaneity can enhance creativity and problem-solving. When we stop trying, we let the subconscious mind take over. This can lead to innovative solutions.

Improv classes are beneficial

Israeli clinical psychologist Tali Maron says to get involved in activities related to acting, comedy, singing or music. This is called improv. Improv classes increase creativity by reducing depression and anxiety. According to a study conducted in Detroit, children who joined improv classes became better at tolerating uncertainty, their anxiety also decreased.
