We are all working in different industries. Some of us are entrepreneur;
some of us are serving companies or some of us are having different
means for our survival. In whatever field you are, the love for the work
is imperative to survive and grow in your career. In this fast moving
world, everyone expects that you will be hard-working unless your
intelligence is far beyond the average men. But what really makes the
difference, is thinking in a creative manner.
Some people call it smart work. Whatever be the name, no one can deny
the immense power of ideas or more specifically creative ideas. We have
read many books on
creative ideas. There are number of strategies that have been evolved to
boost your creative ideas. I feel and strongly believe that creative
ideas come from your true love of your work. You have to have indigenous
love towards your work. Make shift profession based on demand of money
cannot make you immensely successful in your career. Of course, there
are other factors associated in your success. One among them is your family support. Without a support from your family,
you will never be able to concentrate and give 100% to your work. I
would like to elaborate on this particular point in detail.
Family support and peace
of life are imperative in your career growth and as well as to your
health. These two factors must walk hand in hand and one cannot exist
without the other one. All creative ideas come from a relaxed mind,
which is not possible without a peaceful life. And here we can correlate
the science. The brain cells or neurons are always producing
electricity. A specific device called Electroencephalograph can measure
these electric waves. It has been observed that this electricity
produced by neurons follow a particular cycle. Based on the cycle’s
rate, the scientists have segregated the brain into four different
states i.e. Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta.
Beta State – The cycle rate here is 12-30 Hz. This is the state,
when we are wake and conscious. As you can understand, we generally
remain in beta state during our daily routine work. Where beta is
required to work meticulously, too much of beta makes us tired, restless
and anxious. This is the reason that why people are so much stressed
now a days. A very good example of this is driving in a very crowded
road in a city for long time. This makes the cycle frequency high making
the state as Beta. And this is why we feel very tired after a prolonged
drive in a crowded city.
Alpha State –The cycle rate in this state is lower than Beta i.e. 7.5 to 12 Hz. This state is achieved in relaxation, light meditation and day dreaming. During this state, we achieve high imagination
and concentration. In this phase, our memory power gets increased. In
this phase, the outlook for life gets changed and it brings higher
possibility of getting success in life. This state is also the source of
creative visualization.
Theta State – In theta state, the cycle rate is 4 Hz to 7.5 Hz. Theta
is called to be the doorway towards our unconscious state or Delta
state. This is a subconscious state. Before sleeping or just after we
wake up from sleep, we get into the state of theta. This is the state,
where we all come out of profound creative ideas. This state is also
achieved in our dream. This is the reason that we can remember a dream
just after we wake up and thereafter we forget the same.
Delta State – The cycle rate in this state is 0.5 Hz to 4 Hz. This
state is arrived in our deep and dreamless sleep. This is the state of
unconsciousness.
Keeping the above four states in mind, Alpha and Theta States are the
most important ones. If one can achieve alpha state, he can get rid of
much of his\her stress in life. This also allows him to concentrate and
succeed in all works. There are number of ways we can get into the state
of Alpha. The most famous of all is meditation.
At least 15 minutes of mediation daily can keep away your stress,
increase your perseverance power, concentration, imaginary power and in
turn possibility of getting success in life. The well-known Silva Method
is also based on the power of Alpha state.
Theta is another state where the seed of success is hidden. If you
can sow it properly, no one can stop you from getting success in life.
Accessing extra-sensory information is possible in the state of theta.
For example, if you are lost in parking space to find out a vacant slot,
you can get into the state of theta to get this information. There are
numerous ways suggested by different people to get into the state of
theta. Deep mediation also can achieve theta state. Remember that theta
is a state of deep relaxation and only can be arrived with a proper mediation technique.
Overall, the alpha state is much easier to arrive than that of a
theta state. Theta state needs some guidance and practice. Thus all of
us should strive to get into this state as frequently as possible to
make ourselves successful in life and live a healthy life without much
stress. Hereafter if you are trying to take a nap in your office and get
caught, explain the benefit of it to your boss!
