Modulate your emotional state to perk up your creativity!

1. Write down 3 emotions 3x/day x 7 days, get to know your daily patterns

2. Movement, gentle stretch or a walk can help increase the positive emotional state

3. Recalling a time someone helped you, gratitude changes the neural state to a more positive state and therefore the creative part of the brain can be more active.
