Habits and creativity
As explained, our brain tries to adapt and look for stability. The
creativity and ability to seek new opportunities is lost when you do not
exercise the brain to adapt to changes. To do this I will talk about the
habits.
Speak of habits because they are small steps to begin to exercise
your brain. It may seem absurd, but completely stable disables your brain to
see new opportunities and be more creative.
You have five senses,
which send signals to your brain to make decisions, observe, ... But sometimes
your brain transforms the information received to make you feel comfortable.
That is relating the information received habits, memories, etc.. It is said
that the brain deceives you. For example: your eyes see in two dimensions. If
you cover one eye, your picture will move to the right or the left. It's your brain
that information to interpret changes at reality. If your reality is always the
same, for it is easier to interpret this reality. So don' t stop exercising the
ability to interpret, to observe, to imagine ...
Most
of the time you don't put attention, your brain interpret the information and
make an "mental reality "Think about an illusionists, they knew
that the senses deceive us and They found ways to surprise people with it. Now,
think about your routines, and observe that your mind reads the
information fast by habit, losing the ability to observe reality. (like Jasper Maskelyne)
Something, that happens constantly to me is that when I read some
words I relate it with one more usual.

denies you the ability to see other things, learn and observe otherwise.
