1. Stop telling yourself you’re not creative.
2. Spend time contemplating your navel and the deeper meaning of the world and how we’re all connected to one another.
3. Turn off your computer, TV, radio, PDA and anything electronic and revel in the silence.
4. Clean everything off your desk in your office and put it in a big box and keep it all there for 2 weeks. Don’t open the box. Sometimes freeing your space completely frees up your mind.
5. Play Vivaldi for a whole work day.

Nettie, this is very good to hear, and very practical advice. (Except maybe for the “navel” part — ewww — although I do understand what you’re trying to get at.
; – )
I figured out at some point — and yet I have to keep reminding myself, or be reminded, as you have here — that if I start my day by checking my e-mail or reading news on the web, that I’m allowing other people to set the tone of the day for me. Ideally, first I need to hear the voice of my own thoughts before I start to consider everyone else’s.
In other words, I need to Act instead of just React. The only way to do that is to find and start from some mental/emotional place of your own, like in the ways you’ve suggested here.
Thanks for the reminder, (and my regards to Mr. Nelson, there,)
