Mind Gone Blank? Here's What To Do! 

Has your mind gone blank just when you really need a solution to a problem?
You rack your brains, trying all sorts of gimmicks that promise the secret of how to get a good idea. But you come up with nothing. Your mind might as well be a frozen wasteland with not a single thought on the horizon.
Just when you think all is lost, you happen to meet a friend or colleague. You talk things over and the other person suggests a great solution. You say to yourself, “Why didn’t I think of that?”
You’ve just seen the power of collective thinking.
Sometimes the best cure for ‘mind gone blank’ syndrome is chatting with other people. Each person has a different perspective that might shed some light onto your problem. When it comes to individual vs collective thinking, individual isn’t always better.
You don’t have to be a collective thinking mastermind to benefit from the power of collective thinking. Simply sharing your thoughts with others can jump-start new ideas for everyone concerned. An idea team harnesses the brain power of the group to produce new concepts that no one person could have thought up alone.
When you keep your idea inside your head you don’t necessarily have a realistic view of it. Maybe it seems stupid. Maybe it seems fantastic. You’ll never know for sure until you open it up to the scrutiny of others. They may point out flaws you didn’t notice, or praise a concept you thought was simple and obvious. Saying your idea out loud validates and cements your thought in your own mind. What’s obvious to you might be brilliantly original to someone else.
Don’t stress about how to get an idea out there. Just get together with someone you trust and talk about it.
The power of collective thinking is a strong stimulant to creativity. When dealing with a mind gone blank, sometimes the best thing to do is ask for help.
