Bipolar disorder — sometimes
called manic-depressive disorder
— is associated with mood
swings that range from the lows
of depression to the highs of
mania. When you become
depressed, you may feel sad or
hopeless and lose interest or
pleasure in most activities.
When your mood shifts in the
other direction, you may feel
euphoric and full of energy.
Mood shifts may occur only a
few times a year, or as often as
several times a day. In some
cases, bipolar disorder causes
symptoms of depression and
mania at the same time. Bipolar
disorder is a disruptive, longterm condition.

39. Experiences play one of the biggest roles in creative
thinking. The more experiences you have, the more past
ideas you have to pull into the present moment.

40. Fearlessness is another big factor of creativity. If you don’t think you’re
creative then you won’t be. If you’re worried about success of an idea (or
whether it’s feasible or whether you can make it happen on your own)
then you’re cutting yourself short. Be fearless with your creativity and
you’ll open more doors for new ideas.

41. Desire is an often overlooked factor of creativity
that is vital to growing as a creative individual. If
you simply don’t want to change things (or solve
problems or inspire others or do new things) then
you won’t.

42. Gamestorming is a set of practices for facilitating innovation in the
business world. A facilitator leads a group towards some goal by way of
a game, a structured activity that provides scope for thinking freely,
even playfully.
