(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 28, 2012 ) Goshen, MA – This time of year, when people talk about breaking habits in the coming year, they usually mean things like quitting smoking, curtailing debts and not overeating. However, creativity coach Marcia Yudkin suggests breaking habits like always taking the same route to work or maintaining long-held attitudes in order to have a more fulfilling 2013. Her new book, Inspired! How to Be More Original, Insightful and Productive in Your Work, offers a wealth of reasons and ways to get out of a rut (http://www.yudkin.com/inspired.htm ).
“Habits box us in,” says Yudkin, a noted marketing mentor and the author of 16 previous books. “Faced with an obstacle, your mind may fill with the strategies you always try - and only those. In 2013, try separating the habits that really serve you from those that are just well-entrenched.”
Just a few of the ways suggested in Inspired! for breaking out of habits:
* Vary your daily routine. Take a different route to work. Sit in a different chair when meeting with visitors. Use a fountain pen to sign letters. Have curry or felafel for lunch instead of soup and a sandwich. Even small changes make you mentally more flexible.
* Practice paying attention. Instead of zoning out, try what Buddhists call “mindfulness.” Whether it’s appreciation of the snowflakes on the windows, the accents of one’s coworkers or the radiance of the air near the heat registers, getting in touch with surroundings sparks creativity and inner peace.
* Cultivate opposite pastimes. If you sit most of your work day, adopt a hobby that gets you out and about. If you spend most of your time with people, take up a pursuit like woodworking in your basement. Such balance maximizes the odds of inspiration.
Inspired! How to Be More Original, Insightful and Productive in Your Work includes research, anecdotes, tips and suggestions on creativity, problem solving, idea generation, motivation, time management and many similar topics, all from the point of view of learning how to tune into oneÂ’s unique inner preferences. The book is available in paperback for $19.95 at Amazon.com or BN.com and for $9.99 in AmazonÂ’s Kindle store or Barnes & NobleÂ’s Nook store.
