Fleeting creativity or dour details –what’s your approach??

You have a brain storming session coming up --- so what’s the agenda of the meeting?
Have to come up with some creative ideas or willing to delve into details? What’s the need of the hour?? Choose the much needed music accordingly.

It’s not musing of devil’s workshop whose fingers are certainly much more nimble these days, oh home does weird things to crazy people!!. It’s a new study by a Canadian research firm. Firm has dug deep into human minds to know how mood affects our mental processes. Good mood breeds lateral thinking, those out of box thinking we prefer to call comes naturally to people who shun foul moods and prefer to be in good humor. So anticipate next bright idea leaping up from the jocular one sitting right next to you .. oh and did I say something about detailed approach . This is what the firm has to offer –“Tunnel vision associated with fear and anxiety leads a person to look for details.” So what I was taught in primary class has been reinforced yeah “once bitten twice shy”, “a burnt child dreads fire”. All are seemingly very correct, as somber faced ones are the ones searching for hidden meaning , may be increased apprehension makes them look at each facet, each aspect which may escape gaze of those jolly good souls.


If attention is like spotlight, good mood widens it while negative mood will focus it narrowly.
So if you want creative juices to follow put on some uplifting music and if you want sharp focus, well you are better off scared.
