Jake Burhans explains how a positive mood before work unlocks creativity and energy, while stress and fight-or-flight responses shut down the brain's creative capacities. Ideas flow more easily when you're in a good mood, and execution becomes smoother.
going to work and you're in a good mood, right? You're in a good mood, you're happy, you're going into work. I bet you notice that everything is so much easier. You have more energy throughout the day. You're able to execute better. Ideas come to you out of nowhere. It's because you're in this creative state, this elevated state. You're not in that fight or flight that's just shutting off your brain and shutting off your ability to tap into these other things.
