Practice Improvisation to Become a Faster and More Creative Thinker

improvisation


We can’t completely plan out everything that happens in our lives. Instead a lot of the situations we find ourselves in we have to respond to spontaneously – which requires a certain amount of fast and creative thinking on the spot.

When we try to plan too much, we often over-think and over-analyze, which leads us to hesitate and not take action. For example, if you’re having a conversation with a new girl or boy you like, you may often find yourself thinking in your head, “What should I say?” which takes you out of the moment and usually ends with you not saying much of anything at all.

For some people, it’s really difficult to get “outside of their heads” and into the moment. However, one way we can practice being more spontaneous is by practicing improvisation exercises to make our minds think faster and more freely.

How to Get Over People Always Judging You


All of us go through events in our social life where we fear being negatively judged by others. Perhaps you have made your own judgements throughout your life about certain people and what you think of them.

Making judgements about others is something the human brain likes to do. From an evolutionary standpoint, we had to judge others as “friends” or “foes” to protect ourselves from people who might be a threat to our tribe or community.

Those who were disliked or viewed as a threat were eventually ostracized, punished, or killed. So most of us have a hard-wired response to try and be liked and accepted by others, which explains many fears and anxieties associated with our social interactions.

Despite this tendency, we can find ways to get over the judgments people will make about us on a daily basis. We learn to become less sensitive to them and not let them so easily get under our skin or make us upset. This article will cover these different aspects of how to let go of people always judging us.

Make a Complete List of Your Daily Routine

routine


What you do on a daily basis is what creates the life you live.

However, we often take these daily activities for granted. They become a routine that we repeat over and over again without even thinking, and we rarely take the time to reflect on these daily patterns and how they might be influencing us.

In this article, you’ll write out a complete list of your daily routine, categorize them based on different aspects of your life, and then use this list to become more aware of your “positive” and “negative” habits.

Don’t Wait to Express Romantic Interest

romantic interest


Have you ever had a romantic interest in someone, but you waited a long time to finally tell them?

Often this is a recipe for frustration and disappointment. You spend time with someone, you share good times, you grow more and more fond of them, but you never come forward about your true feelings until it’s too late.

What happens is the other person begins to think of you as just a friend, and then when you finally do express your romantic interest (weeks, months, or years later), the other person isn’t capable of thinking of you in the same way.

For any relationship to work, you have to be honest about your intentions. And the sooner the better.

Mind Is A Verb, Not A Noun

mind


When talking about our minds, we have a tendency to take complicated processes and treat them as simplified things. For example, we say we want “happiness” or “confidence” or “motivation” but how do we know when we really have them?

These things aren’t something you can see, hear, touch, taste, or smell, they aren’t something you can buy at a store, and they aren’t something you can carry around with you in your pocket wherever you go.

So what do we mean when we talk about “happiness,” “confidence,” “motivation,” or other aspects of our mind? What are we really referring to?
