in 2015?

Having just returned from a great family holiday, I've been contemplating this:
 'how do you step out of relaxation mode and into the feeling of being creatively productive?'
 Tuning in to your 'Pitta' dosha can help...
What is Pitta dosha?
Your Pitta dosha is made up of the qualities of fire and water which create 'heat' in the body
Pitta represents: your body's metabolic system. It governs digestion, absorption of nutrients, assimilation, nutrition, metabolism and body temperature.
How can Pitta dosha help with transforming your ideas into action?
Just as Pitta dosha creates heat in the body for metabolic function, it also governs the functions of mental digestion, courage, visual perception and igniting our motivation to 'transform ideas into action'.
Here are my top 5 tips for getting creatively productive:
  • Morning clarity - make the most of the clarity of early morning when the mind is clear. Get in touch with your creative ideas by writing them down before the activity of the day begins.

  • Put a spring in your step - if you are feeling sluggish (after all that holiday relaxation) put a 'spring in your step' by firing up your exercise routine. Start with a walk and build up from there. Do something that you enjoy that makes you feel exhilarated - Yoga, dancing, water aerobics, swimming, kicking a ball in the park with the kids. Do whatever you can do that gets you moving. Exercise sparks your metabolic fire - your Pitta energy.

  • Eat at midday - a nutritious midday lunch will help to fuel your productive energy well into the afternoon. Keep your food generally light and fresh during the summer season so that you don't overload your digestive fire. Avoid large meals in the evening as this can lead to feeling sluggish the next day instead of motivated.

  • Make the most of 'Pitta time' - 10am - 2pm is a peak Pitta time of the day (related to the energy of the sun) which helps to fuel our productivity. This is a great time to focus, structure a plan and turn your creative ideas into action.

  • Replenish - your focus with rest, meditation or a walk in nature all of which help to harmonise the intensity of Pitta dosha. Often, it is when we are in our most relaxed state that new ideas come flooding in. Look for inspiration in art, writing, reading or try a change of scene to stoke your creative interest, because:
'Being productive is easier when we feel inspired towards action'
