🚽 Why Do Our Best Ideas Happen While We're on the Toilet?

Why do brilliant ideas often appear while you're on the toilet? It's not because the bathroom is magical. It's because your brain finally has a chance to slow down. When you're relaxed and free from distractions, a network in your brain called the Default Mode Network (DMN) becomes more active, allowing your subconscious to connect memories, solve problems, and generate creative insights. Combined with the Incubation Effect and increased alpha brain wave activity, these quiet moments become fertile ground for "Aha!" moments. So the next time inspiration strikes during a bathroom break, there's real neuroscience behind it. Sometimes, your greatest ideas arrive when your mind is finally given the space to wander. 🚽💡

Rejection as a Creative Force

"Rejection as a Creative Force" is a short essay on how a total destruction of one's ego and self-image can, and should, act as a precursor to a rebirth of sorts, a catalyst for striving towards the ideal. Written in January 2023. Now available online as both text and audio. About a year after writing this, I wrote something in my journal that could very well serve as a summary of the essay: SHIT IS SUPPOSED TO BREAK YOU DOWN SO YOU COULD BUILD YOURSELF UP. THAT’S THE BLESSING AND THE CURSE.
