In a world of technology and social media we are able to reach out to people across the world, share ideas and discover the true essence of different cultures.  AuthorsDen is a great example – our members span the world and our content is global.  I love all that technology has to offer.  However, with the amount of data our minds are receiving daily and the speed at which we are moving, we need to retrain our creative minds.

The conference focused most on mindfulness, awareness, and meditation.  I love the idea of meditating but my over-thinking mind works against me, which is why I've decided I probably need to give it a try.  I downloaded the Headspace.com app at the conference and have forced myself to use it daily. Headspace won an award to present at the conference so I figure it’s a good place to start.

The conference made me realize how important it is to put ourselves in new setting, explore new avenues, and meet new people. I came away completely rejuvenated.   There’s a writers group in downtown San Diego that I’ve been wanting to join so I think I’ll do just that.  I’m organizing my notes from the conference and will share more soon. What do you do to remain inspired and creative.  Please share in the comments section below so all can see.

Wishing all a wonderful day!
