Your brain works with stimulus. If you don’t stimulate it, he will wait until something append. If you always stimulate it in the same way, then, he’ll, most of the time, always answer in the same way.

Given this, the trick is to stimulate it with as many sort of stimulus as you can think of. It will force your brain to compute on the same idea, differently.

Take this example: you are working on a piece of writing. What will stimulate your creativity to write it is the environment around you: the place where you are writing, the pencil you are using, the paper you are writing on. It’s not only the environment around you that will stimulate it, but also your pass experiences, you knowledge, etc. Everything will act on the final result of your writing.

Remember, we try to work differently to stimulate the answer given by our brains to a specific problem. We need to stimulate it in different ways, to try to force it to enter in other dimensions.

In the current example, you can change many things in your working environment to stimulate your brain differently. Change the place where you are writing: go to a coffee shop instead of your bedroom. Use paper of different colors: it will play on your moods. Write with your sheet in landscape and not portrait.

It’s important to stimulate your brain to find answer to questions. It’s how it works: by stimulation. Most of the great scientists of our history understood it: Eisenstein, Gödel, Diffie and Hellman, etc.

The idea is to see things differently, with another angle, to redirect our minds in other dimensions.
