Schauer Thoughts How to Be More Creative: Abstraction and Improvisation (Part 3)!
Here we are, the third and final installment on how to be more creative! What a wild and winding journey it’s been, hopefully everyone is forever changed. Just a reminder: the essence (aka timbre - a unique quality of a sound that distinguishes it from other sounds) of a shower thought is a rambling (divergent) musing while in the shower - an environment where sound and heat are taking ego (fixedness) offline and allowing you to make more fluid connections. Water is also a fluid, which is a substance that can flow and take the shape of it’s container aka your body, your brain - which btw are constantly changing so best to keep a lot of things fluid, moving, lest some solids clog flow. Anywho, I hope you enjoy the neuroscience, the lateral movements, the abstractions, the improv, but most of all… I hope you dance.
To the beat of your own drum.
Don’t fall in line, or do, it’s up to you! Talk again soon, toodles!
Edit: I meant to say “IAF does RC circuits, not currents” - I was speaking so fast that I flubbed that.
Also, second edit: for an electrical fire, always disconnect the power source first.
Third edit at the end: Delight is surprise + happiness, not happiness + sadness - I was speaking too fast.
