On this cold, icy winter day I’m thinking about how my mind works. Over the years of being a creative thinker, I’ve learned that it is usually my first thought that is my best thought. Experience has proven this for three reasons:

1. There are no edits yet when a first thought bubbles up to the surface of my conscious mind.

2. That first thought (even if it is “off-base” or silly) can free up my brain enough to lead me to my next thought.

3. Action steps I may take on my very first thought often times lead me to my very best thoughts.

I’ve helped support myself and my family on my creative ideas for decades, I’ve learned to trust my first thoughts and to let them lead me to where I am going.

Creativity and wellness message for today: Allow your first creative thought to lead you to the next.
