• What protocols are recommended for improving creativity?

  • Sources:

    To enhance creativity, discusses several approaches based on different principles:

    1. Work Environment Adjustments:

      • For brainstorming and creative work, consider a high-ceiling or no-ceiling environment, possibly without a brimmed hat or hoodie, which has been supported by the peer-reviewed literature to foster creativity 1.
    2. Neurochemical Foundations:

      • Understanding your brain chemistry is crucial, as all protocols for improving things like sleep, focus, and creativity, leverage a core set of biological mechanisms. Knowledge about the four major pillars of neurochemistry enables you to select appropriate protocols for your goals 2.
    3. Science-Based Protocols:

    4. Narrative Training:

      • World building, perspective shifting, and action generating are components of narrative training to enhance creativity, tracing back to Aristotle's ideas 4.
    5. Non-Sleep Deep Rest:

      • Implementing non-sleep deep rest protocols can enhance and accelerate plasticity, leading to creative states of mind that involve rearranging existing knowledge in novel ways 5.
    6. Emotional Regulation:

      • Proper emotion regulation supports the brain functions related to affect and emotions. A daily investment in the six core pillars of health can build up a 'brain body budget' to have more resources for creativity and mental health 6.

    Remember to consider context and personal needs when choosing and combining these protocols.
