1. Stroll barefoot in nature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you feel as though you\u2019re reaching burnout, you know it\u2019s time to head to nature. Regardless of where you are in the world, there\u2019s bound to be a hidden gem of undiscovered raw beauty nearby. Perhaps it\u2019s a body of water, rugged mountains, mystical forests, barren deserts or tropical jungles… Perhaps your local au naturel scene is far more exotic than these… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of location, leave your shoes by your doorstep and let your feet soak in earth\u2019s bounty. By connecting with the earth, you let go of your current energetic charge, releasing negative emotions to the earth. You\u2019ll feel the energetic shift for yourself as the earth\u2019s electrons are transferred from the ground to your body<\/a>. In order to receive this, the body\u2019s electrical potential becomes equalized with the Earth\u2019s electrical potential\u2014which occurs when grounding barefoot. The body then becomes an extension of the Earth\u2019s gigantic electric system. Research shows that the concept of barefoot grounding in the earth is as integral to human health as sunshine, clean air and water, physical movement and a nutritious diet.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Lose yourself to the sound of H2O<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t stress if you find yourself in a rut… There\u2019s a simple solution, as there always is in life. If possible, heading to a body of water is often one of the best creative resets out there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"the<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Natural bodies of water are known for their healing properties. But, don\u2019t feel discouraged if that\u2019s not an option. Head to a nearby pool, or start a bath in your own home. Whichever you choose, take time to focus on your breath and listen to the calming sound of the water. If you can, submerge yourself\u2014it’s a total system reset, guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spending time in or surrounded by a body of water is beneficial to restarting the creative genius that lies within. This is because since the dawn of time, humans have associated water with healing properties. Thousands of years later, and you\u2019ll find your closest kin vacationing near bodies of water. Water can induce a meditative state; you\u2019re tuned in to the lulling sounds of lapping waves, yet not overwhelmed by distractions found in modern society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marine biologist Wallace J. Nichols believes we humans collectively have a \u201cblue mind\u201d<\/a>\u2014a mind which sees and feels blue, triggered by a mildly meditative state, when resting near bodies of water. Feeling blue? Worry not because being in a blue state of mind releases you from the creative rut you\u2019ve been in all week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of being overstimulated by screens or stress, the mind switches itself to the default mode network\u2014the network associated with imagination, insight and introspection\u2014allowing you to make new connections in the brain. If you\u2019ve ever wondered why you have the best thoughts in the shower, now you know why. It\u2019s all about the infinite power of the sound of H2O.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. It\u2019s all about meditation and self-reflection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale. It\u2019s all about the stillness of the body and focusing on the breath. Meditating, even for just fifteen minutes every day, can help you reconnect to yourself, to others, and help you visualize your dreams. It\u2019s time to generate creativity, baby!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only will you reduce stress by releasing negative emotions stored in the body and mind, but you can also shift your mindset to vibrate higher and draw in positive energy. As you reconnect with yourself, you\u2019ll have a clearer notion of what best suits your interests and can then begin to visualize showing up in society as your highest self. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"meditation<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, meditation counteracts symptoms of anxiety disorders<\/a>. It\u2019s incredibly difficult to visualize your highest self when you\u2019re anxious and stressed. But, by removing the internal stressor through the power of breath, not only will you visualize your best self, but clarity and creative ingenuity come to you\u2014effortlessly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through meditation, negative self-beliefs and emotions are diminished<\/a>; by releasing negative thoughts, you\u2019ve created space for positive ones. The new space created in your mind can then welcome self-loving affirmations, universal gratitude and mental clarity. Meditation is so powerful that it holds promise for treating depression<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Mark Your Social Calendars…<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Though it\u2019s important to regenerate and recharge through more introverted measures, meeting new people is also a fantastic way to recharge. Sometimes there\u2019s nothing more healing than a steaming cup of joe and engaging conversation. Moments like this may be few and far between, but if your gut instinct is telling you to mingle away at your cozy, local coffee shop then you know you must go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feel the endorphin rush as you meet and greet new people, engage in new conversations and exchange ideas. The potential behind the exchange of ideas is unlimited and infinite; consider conversation revolutionary when nurturing your creative spirit. You never know what dots you may connect in your own mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Dance and stretch your worries away<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Physical movement allows you to release emotions stored in your body. The more you stretch and move your body, the more stagnant energy is released and the proper flow of energy is restored. Plus, who doesn\u2019t love sweating out toxins? It\u2019s arguably one of the best resets for the body. Cleanse the body, cleanse the mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"dance\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Through dance, not only do you release emotions, but you also unblock your chakras. When you unblock your chakra<\/a>s, especially your sacral chakra, unleashing your creativity becomes so much easier. Instead of trying to force out creative ideas, the words just flow, the pictures are drawn and the vision is clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the best results on nourishing the spirit of creativity, incorporate these life hacks into your daily and weekly routines. By implementing small, habitual changes like dancing, meditating or socializing at your local coffee shop into your routine, you\u2019ll notice a positive shift in your mental state. The shift towards positivity greatly impacts your quality of life; and thus, the ability to get those creative juices flowing just became so much easier.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
