How to think of good ideas

How do you think of good ideas? Well its simple really, think of something that is missing from the everyday equation.  Your idea could really be worth a million bucks but how do you transform the tingling neurotransmitters in your brain and actually start to construct something successful?

 First, a good idea can always be better.  For example, if your idea is a boat, make sure you know where everything is and how it works.  Once you understand how to drive and steer the boat grab your scuba gear and go exploring.  There could be a whole new industry just waiting to be discovered.  You should understand the core of your market but you can always find new ways to innovate and ways change the status quo. 

Be inspired by nature.  Go outside and enjoy Mother Nature.  She has plenty of ways to help you cultivate good ideas.  Whether you’re hiking in the forest, walking in the desert or swimming in the ocean, nature has colors and shapes that can’t be replicated or found in our daily life.  Those types of things get your brain juices flowing and can give us the extra boost we need to get to the next level.

Have an open mind.  Most people have a stressful life, unfortunately that’s just the way life operates.  The good part about stress is that it stretches your mind and makes you think.  Once you learn to eat stress for breakfast and open your mind completely to let everything in, your brain can work at connecting the dots of ideas instead of being tainted by your brains stress level.  A happy brain is a happening brain.

Quantity over quality.  It’s good practice to think of as many ideas and variations as possible.  Having too many options will never hurt you.  Even if some of your ideas are far-fetched, just remember someone has to be the dreamer, which leads me to the importance of dreams.

Dreams come true.  If I were you I would keep a note pad next to my bed just in case my subconscious wanted to send me message.  I understand that some messages can come as dinosaurs, or endless falling, but some good ones can get through.  Remember quantity over quality.  I would place all these ideas in to an ideas folder and if you ever need any inspiration you can always look through your folder.

Conclusion: Ideas can come from anywhere; the trick is to be ready to receive them.  If you only learn one thing from this article it should be to clear all the clutter from your mind so that you can be inspired.
