There are a lot of ideas revolving around my head of what this first post should be about...travel, awareness, music, photography, cryptocurrency, finance, media, consciousness, altered states of mind, the nature of reality...all things I currently think a lot about and probably will end up posting about, however I think an example of why this post has come into existence would be the perfect segway for things to come. Recently I moved to Canada, recently as in 6 months ago...not actually too recent and I definitely will be posting about the first 6 months of being here soon, but that it not the basis for this post and I will visit that idea at a later stage.

So since embracing the amazing climate, people, mountain culture, snowboarding and mountain biking and truly mesmerizing panoramic views and feeling all the opportunities this side of the world has to offer, I have been opened up to a thought provoking part of my brain that only really comes out when I do things that I consider to be autonomous and boring. Now before the criticism of 'How the hell are you bored in Canada??' let me explain....

This part of my brain and the thoughts that are conjured from it are subjected by doing something that I absolutely know exactly how to do. Not only that, but when you know something from back to front it then becomes autonomous. When something is autonomous and I am able to listen to something else that takes away that sense that I am busy doing something (or thinking as I'm doing anything), vivid ideas and a creative mindset is pronounced to my external thoughts and idea process that is extremely fascinating to me. Basically I find myself thinking about things A LOT while I'm working and these ideas seem to stick really well.

I always thought that getting into a thought provoked state of mind was due to being alert and active and maybe brainstorming (which is still true for the most part - everyone is different), but I have found that for me subjectively the opposite is much more apparent. Now don't get me wrong, I am not shutting the door on other ways that this idea state comes into perception in everyone's brain, as it is certainly pronounced in other ways due to many varying things and maybe I'll touch on that in other posts as well ....this is almost specifically work induced.

During my latest job in my new residence of Whistler British Colombia, a job in which I am able to listen to Podcasts, Music, Youtube and basically whatever form of media I choose to listen to, for approximately 8-9 hrs out of my 10 hour shifts every night, I am subjected to a lot of different types of information from Joe Rogan Podcasts to Egyptology to name just two. I have since thought that being in this position has opened up my brain into ways of thinking that I have often only tuned into during other jobs in the past which have ultimately had similar attributes to the role, even though the roles themselves are vastly different.

In Australia one of my many office jobs with Queensland Health led me to writing a tonne of lyrics of which I would love to write guitar songs to one day. I also used to draw a lot during meetings, minutes and other extremely mundane tasks that I would have to endure for nothing more than simply being in the same department as the subjected meetings took place. I'm certain every office worker knows what I'm on about here.

The more I thought about this example the more I was met with the same pattern of thought; being in a task that I knew how to do, back to front, and could complete with ease. Now I guess I could only draw or write in my spare time from work which is a huge no no in the eyes of superiors, but the whole thing is, as soon as I had figured out how to do something with ease...other thoughts started springing to my mind in a way that I felt compelled to assist with in the fundamentals of that idea. Maybe boredom isn't even the accurate word to use, maybe the combination of autonomous and ease would be a better suit, although I still credit boredom to being a huge influence to taking an action.

Personally, I cannot just keep thinking about things and let them go unaccompanied for fear that I will be letting go of an idea that was great and right there in front of me, ready for an action......but taking no action. This stream of idea-to-action occurrence could be described as a flow. The flow of certain types of information melding with you, creating waves of possible outcomes for those ideas that are able to be drawn on or disregarded as 'whatever'.

The whole point of this post is to introduce myself to blogging in general but this post has a point. Whenever you find yourself thinking 'God my job is boring' and you have a bit of spare time, try to let your creative juices flow. Maybe write down what you're thinking, maybe draw something that you think of if you're art inclined, maybe tell a story about how your boss is from a superior dystopian futuristic universe that is dead set on destroying the natural world and everything you know...I guarantee you'll draw parallels between the two....but anything that can make work not feel so much like work is, I think, what I'm getting at.

These states of mind and idea flows have led me to the need to openly express and present my 'research' that I perceive as valuable and interesting. In turn, this has led me to this post. The thought provoking ideas that I have been having nightly have finally been manifested to a platform that I think is a good first step in my journey of actioning great ideas, discussing great topics and raising awareness to thought provocation, states of mind and hopefully...the nature of reality.

I hope to build on this fundamental idea and keep bringing more concepts, information, value and hopefully gain insights from people in similar stages of life, mentality and consciousness.

So here we are at the end of my first post. I hope it was a good read, I hope you gained something from reading it as I did for writing it.
