Daydreams at Work: Wake Up Your Creative Powers
by Amy Fries

Read Amy's blog on PsychologyToday.com

For Ideas. Energy. Solutions.
Use the creative power of daydreaming to problem solve, brainstorm, find energy and motivation, and come up with the next big idea.

Isn't it time you found out more about your most creative state of mind?

Daydreams are not just wishful thinking! They are your source for ideas, energy, and motivation. When daydreaming, you can visualize, simulate events, free associate, and access stores of knowledge in uncensored and creative ways to come up with solutions and ideas that are not accessible when you're struggling for the answer.

Though many of us have sensed the connection between daydreaming and creativity, recent scientific studies are combining with an abundance of anecdotal evidence to establish that when daydreaming, we are literally in our most creative state of mind, tapping into and connecting the most complex regions of the brain.

The beauty of daydreaming is that it's a process available to every one of us. Yet many of us know relatively little about it.
