Running

“Running allows me to set my mind free. Nothing seems impossible. Nothing unattainable.”
- Kara Goucher

Running is not only effective for a better cardiovascular health, losing fat etc. but also overall improved brain health. Regular running can help you achieve overall lower stress levels and thus freeing up mind-space to tackle problems with a creative outreach.

Additional travel time saved by working from home can be used to set a running routine, stick to it religiously and keep pushing yourself to sustained faster pace and longer distances. Since running requires immense determinations and overall coordination, the professionals who indulge in running find themselves getting better at decision making, creative problem solving and experience better motivation levels than others.

Mind Games

Work from home facilitates personnel to spend additional time with their family and friends. How about indulging in mind games that will not only enhance the fun quotient at home but also assist you to be more creative at work.

Games like Chess, Riddles, Pictionary, Sudoku, Scrabble, Rubix Cube etc. keep the creative juices flowing and prevent the professionals from facing creative blocks time and again. The practice of engaging the team members in mind games as team building activities can also enhance the overall creative quotient of a team that is working remotely.

Travel

“We travel, because we need to. Because distance and difference are the secret tonic to creativity.”
- Jonah Lehrer

People who travel frequently are observed to be more patient, accepting and overall emanate positivity. Such professionals, reportedly experience higher levels of creativity and offer a fresh perspective on identifying opportunities or suggest creative solutions depending on the situation.

Travel exposes you to new people. new cultures and a whole new set of experiences which enhances the knowledge base and cognitive abilities of a person.
While we continue to work remotely, a short escape over the weekend to nearby destinations can offer great reconnect with nature and away from week-long work chaos and home confinement. However, given the unprecedented times that we live in, it is imperative that all safety protocols are adhered to on travel expeditions.

Meditate 

It is important to declutter the mind for enhancing creativity. Meditation does exactly that! Dedicating 15-20 minutes a day in small sessions of 5 minutes apiece can go along way in ensuring that you experience lower stress levels and have a better clarity of thought.

Since Meditation can be done anywhere, it becomes a great tool for creative professionals working from home. Simple meditation exercises can help in momentarily detaching from chaos and prioritising effectively. Professionals who meditate regularly are reported to be more receptive to knowledge and are relied upon for direction by the fellow team members.
