When people talk about creative thinking, they sometimes assume it starts and ends with art. This is obviously not true. Creative thinking is our ability to think outside the box and come up with innovative solutions and ideas. It’s that X factor that allows even the most tough situations to be viewed as a challenge and not another obstacle in the way. I don’t think I can overstate the usefulness of creative thinking in this day and age. I like to believe the more we work on our[...]

Sometimes with everything that will be going on we start to neglect our own needs. I cannot overstate how important it is for us to tend to our mental and physical h[...]
What is Flow State? “Flow state” or as I like to call it “Goddess mode” is a mental state in which a person is completely absorbed by a single task or activity. You’ll often hear people call it as being “In the zone.” You can think of Flow State as having similarities with mindfulness. Both of them need us to focus on the present -- to be in the moment.

It’s something many high achieving individuals are familiar with, feeling like they’ve achieved everything in their life from luck and no skill. A lot of people feel like impostors, and that often leads them to think they are alone. Many people struggle with this feeling, so in the spirit of helping I decide to write a post that shows some of the ways we can overcome impostor syndrome. It[...]
It’s getting increasingly difficult to finish all of our tasks these days. Doesn’t really help that we have an ongoing pandemic that I believe is going to stay with us for a long while. Highly driven people can often be seen juggling multiple projects, sometimes not having the time to finish a single one. So how do we manage our life and get work done productively?
