Whether learning to play the violin, training for a marathon, or practicing meditation,&#xa0;</span><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-style: italic;">all</span><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">&#xa0;positive outcomes are derived through planned and repeated effort.&#xa0;Bad habits, you might say, are the poor cousins of higher discipline.&#xa0;&#xa0;</span> </div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">So, assuming all it takes is practice to achieve your highest goals, how many of you listening to this now feel woefully deficient? Don&#x2019;t worry, you aren&#x2019;t alone. Type the word &#x201c;discipline&#x201d; into the Amazon search field for books and you get over 100,000 results. All to say that people everywhere hunger for ways to better regulate their lives, but find it difficult, if not impossible, to achieve it.</span></div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Now, what if I told you that one of the best things you can do, is to let your mind go free. Relinquishing control as a means of training the imagination is proving one of the best things you can do to relax, restore a sense of calm, instill curiosity, and&#x2026;wait for it&#x2026;enhance creativity.&#xa0;&#xa0;</span></div> <div><br></div> <div> <span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">A well-spring of new scientific research suggests that the overworked mind is a dangerous one.

For centuries, images conjured in our unconscious state informed our biggest decisions. Indigenous people even to this day describe the dream state as a gateway to the divine. Science put an end to that. For centuries dreams were discounted as nothing more than nighttime nonsense. Breakthroughs in neuroscience say that was a mistake. Time to get it back!</span></div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Tony reminds us that Sleep is just as essential to our physical well-being as food, water, and exercise. Yet, most people view sleep as a secondary function. You might even say we take sleep for granted. But should we?&#xa0;</span></div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">The brain is an organ like any other. It serves a function and like the liver on too much alcohol or the heart on too much cholesterol, the brain on too much stimulation can become overtaxed. It&#x2019;s the reason why so many people are flocking to meditation. Training the mind to find calm through breathwork and mindfulness has offered millions a much-needed reprieve. But if you, like me, find it hard to &#x201c;empty the mind,&#x201d; day-dreaming, or what Carl Jung use to refer to as &#x201c;active imagination,&#x201d; can offer another means of a mental holiday without the required control.&#xa0;</span></div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Dreams = Imagination = Creativity</span></div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">I&#x2019;m simplifying here, but the point is this: For too long the mind has treated as a biological equivalent of a computer processor. We churn through information and do our best to retain and regurgitate what&#x2019;s deemed important or meaningful. In so doing, we&#x2019;ve denied the brain access to other corridors where seemingly uncorrelated thoughts or ideas, mysteriously generate new meaning or insight. The author, James Joyce, famously wrote about the power of the &#x201c;epiphany&#x201d; &#x2013; defined as &#x201c;a moment of sudden and great revelation or realization.&#x201d; It comes with a touch of euphoria and on occasion, the creative realization can be profound.</span></div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">As Tony points, out Covid-19 &#x2013; to the degree that it&#x2019;s given us pause for thought &#x2013; is a gift. What we chose to do with the time we&#x2019;ve been given is up to us. Tapping into our mind&#x2019;s inherent capability to be imaginative, playful, and creative could be just the thing we need to innovate our way out of this global mess.</span></div> <div><br></div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Where to begin? Sleep, for starters. After that, let the mind wander. And if you so happen to dream the big dream &#x2013; maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow &#x2013; try to write it down. You could be the next Paul McCartney.&#xa0;</span></div> </div></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="galileo-ap-layout-editor" style="min-width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td class=" editor-col OneColumnMobile" width="100%" align="" valign="top"> <div class="gl-contains-image"> <table class="editor-image editor-image editor-image-vspace-on editor-image-hspace-on" style="min-width: 100%;" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" style="padding: 10px 20px;"> <div class="publish-container"> <img alt="" class="" style="display: block;
