Change shouldn’t be by chance

According to Google, "How Do I Change?" was the top search for 2022. I believe that. The answer is by tapping into your #creativity. Here is a path to do that.

1. Intentionally listen to music (more below).
2. Watch Bob Ross paint anything
3. Exercise, even if for only 15 minutes a day
4. Actively read or listen to ANY book
5. Take a class in anything requiring your hands and attention, such as woodworking, cooking, pottery, etc.

Hopefully, you notice these gradually build and move you from your comfort zone to an area of discomfort. That is how you change. It is the only way we #change.

We start with music because it has a strong emotional connection that can influence our mood, thoughts, and behaviors. It has the ability to evoke a range of emotions, from joy and excitement to sadness and melancholy. This emotional connection to music is what makes it such a powerful tool for creativity.

One way that music can unlock creativity is by evoking emotions that inspire us to think and create in new ways. For example, listening to a joyful and upbeat song may put us in a more positive and creative frame of mind, while a sad or introspective song may inspire us to tap into our emotional side and create something more introspective and heartfelt.

Music can also help us to understand better and express our own emotions. When we listen to a song that resonates with us on an emotional level, we may feel a deeper connection to the music and be able to relate it to our own experiences and feelings. This can help us to better understand and express our own emotions, which can, in turn, inspire us to create.

When we have that emotional connection, it is easier to take action. A point of fact that many people fail to recognize is that all decisions that we make, even ones that we feel are extremely logical, are based on emotion. 99% of those are subconscious, but they are still there. Making a connection through music to unlock creativity, therefore, seems to be the only 'logical' choice as you begin the journey of change.

After all, remaining the same or changing is a choice; it doesn't happen by chance. It is a choice you make every single day. What is your choice?

Happy New Year to all.
