We are starting another half of the year with a smile. Happy New month sweetheart and thank you for being there. For 6 months now, we have been struggling to reach our goals and target. Now we are through with the half of the 2014, we enters into another session of the year.
Whether you’re starting a business, starting a blog, creating something is one of the most delightful ways to enhance happiness. When you get ideas and combine them in an original way, you can't help stretching yourself. And when you do it with others, you strengthen your relationships — one of the best ways to increase joy.
Except, most people — busy women especially — don't take the time to be creative. For one thing, creating means pausing, playing, and sometimes failing. It doesn't always feel productive, and it's tough to justify activities that don't pay off immediately.
Instead of waiting for inspiration to strike (which can be guilt-inducing, since it looks like doing nothing), spark ideas with these techniques and watch the happiness flow.
1. Take Notes
I used to fight the urge to jot down things that weren't related to my career as a broadcaster, but now I record any bits that catch my interest, Not for the organization i am working with but for my interest alone, or I make strange lists for no reason. In fact, my books have really been ways to justify my taking the notes I most wanted to take. So grab a pen and go to it. At first, it might feel as if your notes have no purpose, but eventually you may find a use for them. Even if you don't, the process itself can be deeply satisfying.

2. Follow Your Whims
I'll devour everything that's been written about Entertainment or anything Wole Soyinka has ever said about politics, people just because I feel like it. If you let yourself wander freely, you never know what interesting place you might end up.

4. Embrace Your Failure
I want to succeed at everything. This makes me anxious — which isn't conducive to creativity. So I remind myself to enjoy the "fun of failure"; it makes me more lighthearted about taking risks. I took Blogging recently because i wanted to start creating my own kind of world i love, searching for current news, interesting news, Odd news, and getting it accorss to people to read. its challenging, costly but i am enjoying every bit of it, so, in a sense, to some, I might failed. But it was so much fun that I consider it a success.

5. Become a Collector
Reading Books online is fun and educating. I was fortunate to save some money to buy some books online to feeds into my creativity,. "But...without the time invested in getting ready to create, you can be hit by a thunderbolt, and it will just leave you stunned."

6. Start a Blog or Journal
I used to worry that blogging daily would drain me of ideas. Instead, I've found that pouring out ideas is better for creating than doling them out drop by drop. The more you create, the more you'll want to create — and the more ideas you'll have. Don't intend to start a blog to make money or to get popularity because all these can lead to your doom. Being your own Boss is fun

7. Draw a Mind Map
The idea of a mind map was developed in the 1960s by the educator Tony Buzan, and I love it for brainstorming. You start with a concept at the center of the page — say, I need more energy! — then draw curvy branches from it with related thoughts that help you see new possibilities.
