My first inspiration came when Dr. Ellen Weber, with whom I work, began to blog. She was so enthused with blogging she couldn’t stop talking about joy she found. That stirred me so much that I thought I’d like to blog, too. She invited me to post two guest blogs. Quite an honor for a newbie!

That stirred me so much that I thought I’d like to blog, too. She invited me to post two guest blogs. Quite an honor for a newbie!To share latest research on the brain and the arts in everyday language so that people can take away strategies for purposeful flow, intellectual challenge, problem solving and fulfillment at work keeps me going. I’d like to inspire others to tap into more of the rich resources of their brain. All that I share stems from the work I do at the MITA International Brain Based Center.
I like to use everyday language, link to great ideas from other bloggers and provide links to reputable research. One strategy I use is to “converse” with my readers as if they were sitting with me at a coffee house and having a discussion. I hone in on ways to interact with others in the blogosphere and learn much from tips bloggers’ share. This helps me connect more to other bloggers. Peoples’ ideas are important and as I blog, I make sure that comes across. Blogging’s not so much about me, but about others.
I like to play around with ideas in different ways. Sometimes that means using videos, pictures, math and logic, joining in a meme, sharing from life experiences, musical expressions, acrostics, and short poems or quotes. I tap into the multiple intelligences to express ideas to others. Believe it or not, when I go to an art gallery, concert or dance, ideas for new blog topics stir in my mind. Sometimes when I’m with friends or family at gatherings, ideas shared in conversations stir my thought in new ways.
Many ideas come to me when I’m golfing. I discovered ways to get out of anger or frustration that makes the hormone cortisol flood my brain. That shuts down good thinking and problem solving. Therefore, I had to find ways to increase levels of serotonin during activities that may not go well. As I’ve discovered new strategies, I share them with readers.
At first I posted my blog regularly on DIGG, reddit, Netscape and BizzBites. However, I found that as I linked to other people, they came to see what my blog was about. I like more personal ways of networking. I’ve also really enjoyed using MyBlogLog to discover new people and interesting blogs.
Blogging matters because it gives voice to new ideas. Bureaucracies control many fields today. Controllers want their ideas and ways of doing things promoted. Blogs give power to people who may not be rich in money, but are rich in ideas.
One personal high blogging points was when Anna Farmery of The Engaging Brand interviewed me on her weekly Podcast. Anna posted two Podcast sessions on negativity. Liz Strauss asked me to lead an SOB Cafe in March. My topic, “Tap More Brain Power by Asking Two-Footed Questions.” What a challenge to keep answering so many comments from interested people in such a short span of time! Many others lifted up the work at Brain Based Biz and I feel honored each time I’m tagged or others link to my work.
