Some flights use mechanics of the seating in which seats recline electronically, although convert manually to a bed by flipping over the seat back to connect with ledge.

Passengers are provided with a collection of Newspaper, magazines and a variety of beverages time to time. Most of the long-haul flights have an impressive range of on-demand movies, TV and other music options as well. Noise-cancelling headphones are also supplied with on-board.

Life is full of contradictions, opposites and mysteries and yet, when you let go of analysing, dissecting and isolating everything, and look at the larger picture, mind control and creativity suddenly go together perfectly well. They are two sides of the same coin. Here’s why…

When it comes to being creative, we first reckon of letting go of limitations, restrictions and all those logical, analytical activities of the brain’s left hemisphere. Delving into the limitless world of our imaginative right brain is an vital part of entering that exhilarating state where new thoughts flow. But that alone doesn’t achieve the balance we need for creative harmony.

The last few months have been hectic as I’ve set up a new business – as a single parent, this isn’t always a breeze. Apart from making my own brand of training courses and seminars, we’ve built a lovely website containing many articles on holistic wellbeing. Even though this is the work that I’m passionate about and like to do, not everything runs smoothly all the time. Retaining the ‘creative flow’ is a must.

I’m sure many of you will know the feeling of ‘life getting in the way’ – too many errands to run, bills to pay, autumn leaves to rake and complicated homework riddles to solve – and the list goes on… So, how DO you retain the creative flow?

The answer is simple really – through mind control!

The thought of mind control might seem opposed to having boundless creative energy, but it isn’t at all.

Being creative means letting go – ‘going with the flow’ as that well worn saying goes. It’s about allowing the delicate breeze of inspiration, imagination and thoughts to tickle your fingers into a dance of many letters as the words flow onto paper (or into your PC files). And in order to let go enough for this subtle, elusive energy to come out to play, you first need mind control.

The mind control path to creativity means being able to leave behind the noise of incessant mental chatter, the harrowing images of ever growing un-ironed washing piles, the frantic pre-Christmas shopping shuffle and whatever else might be occupying your thoughts and undermining your creativity.

Take time out in the midst of the madness. Let go of the pressure of the to-do-list and the need for household perfection – and the guilt that may result from that – and take time for silence, for nature and for simply being with your Self. Once you learn to control your mind, you achieve the inner silence that allows something ‘sublime’ to happen.

Try my top three tips to quieten the mind and increase creativity:

#1 Find five minutes for yourself as early in the day as possible. Lock yourself away. Make it your time. If necessary buy some noise cancelling headphones! Sit in a comfortable chair, close your eyes, and relax. Imagine you are breathing in creative energy with each breath, and exhaling pure light.

#2 Walk. Become super-sensitive to what’s around you – bird song, traffic noise, laughter. Don’t analyse or judge, just look, listen and use the rest of your senses.

#3 Play this creativity game. Pick up the nearest book. Go to page 12. Count to the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth words. I just did this and the words were “order to achieve”. Pick, one two or three of these words, and use them to write about tomorrow. Don’t analyse, just write.

“Tomorrow I’m going to order an omelette at the shoe repair shop. It would be excellent to see the look on the face of ancient Jenkins. Maybe he’ll even crack a smile for once. You never know what you can achieve until you try.”

And then, delight in going with that creative flow! Have fun…

If you don’t really know how creativity is relevant in your life or you haven’t quite found the outlet for your own creative energies – next time I’ll share some thoughts on finding the perfect way for you to express who you are.

When on long haul flights, it’s vital to get yourself as comfortable as is possible, for you to have a kind, relaxing journey. No one wants to be on a plane, especially when there stressed and in a less than enjoyable position for any part of the trip.

I have been on many long haul flights in my lifetime, and have a number of things I usually do, in order to make my trip as enjoyable as I possibly can.

The very first thing I do when boarding a plane for a long haul flight is usually to take off my shoes. Personally, I feel a fantastic sense of relief once i take my shoes off, as I can stretch my toes, get the circulation flowing properly again, and it is just a fantastic feeling.

Talking about getting the circulation going, it is also crucial for you to stretch your legs. I do this by going on a walk down the isle every few hours. Obviously, you don’t want to keep on walking past people, as there attempting to sleep, but this really can’t be helped. If you need to disguise it, place yourself in a position on the plane in order that you ‘must’ have a small stroll to attend the toilets. Go to the toilets and give your legs a shake to get some life back into them again. Do this every few hours when possible. This also avoids the onset of DVT, or Deep Vain Thrombosis. On this note, should you need to venture to the toilet frequently, try not to sit in the seat closest to the window, as it will prove very frustrating to the passengers sitting closest to you should they have to get up for you every couple of minutes.

Drink sufficient fluids, obviously being careful to avoid alcohol, as this would have the opposite effect to what you want as this may cause dehydration. The body needs fluids at regular intervals. It’s incredible the number of people reckon, just cause there sitting down on a plane and not moving around too much, they don’t need to take on water. The body is mostly comprised of water, and if you don’t get enough you’ll feel terrible, and even worse could end up in a life threatening condition. Not just water, but it’s smart to also bring some snacks aboard the plane too. I’m not a fan of plane food, so I’ll aim to bring on healthy foods for myself to eat when possible. Normally, I’ll bring a large pack of cashew nuts, as I really like the taste, and they normally fill me up and keep me going for long lengths of time. Sandwiches are a excellent suggestion, as are biscuits, although there obviously not too healthy, dependant upon the type.

Yet another thing helping to make the time glide is to bring along some type of entertainment. No one wants to be on a plane twiddling their thumbs for a 8 hour journey. Hopefully, if you’re lucky, your flight may have a movie featured, either with a screen on the back of the chair in-front of you, or on the movie wall. If not, and if finances permit, bring your own film, which you’ll have the ability to watch on your phone or personal media player. If films aren’t your thing, listen to music. Personally, I get tired of playing music before too long, so I’ll take along some comedy mp3s which never get dull. People around me may reckon there is a weirdo near them with me laughing every minute, but at least I’m enjoying my trip, and I’ll try not to laugh too loud.

If you lack the ways to watch a film or hear mp3′s, why don’t you carry a magazine, newspaper or book. I’m a huge fan of reading, so I’ll bring a myriad of literature which I’ve got especially for this reason.

Even the best of us can struggle to entertain ourselves for lengths at a time, so another option is to simply catch up on some rest, and fall asleep. To allow yourself maximum comfort, buy a neck support pillow. For people with distress sleeping a result of the noise made by others around you, buy an eye mask to close out the light, and buy some noise cancelling headphones which will help out with minimizing the noise pollution near you. Who would have thought you could be this comfortable on a plane?

If a person suffers from motion sickness, it’s best if you let the steward know in advance to enable them to keep watch over you, and also so that they’ll be prepared in case you do need attention. If at all possible, it is also a excellent thought to obtain motion sickness patches or take the motion sickness pill.

Few individuals have much choice about where they sit on the plane, as there assigned a specific row on the flight, but if you kick up a huge enough fuss, and the plane isn’t completely full, you might be able to go. This can be perfect if you’ve got a crying baby in close proximity to you, not what exactly you need on a long haul flight.

Also, attempt to avoid sitting to near to the toilets as stated earlier in this article. The reason behind this is because it’s a congregation area. People will gather around the toilet whilst they wait for their turn, they may start a conversation, lean against your seat, all of which are irritating if you are attempting to relax.

Lastly, if you are sitting on the seat closest to the isle, you should keep your arms and legs away from the isle, the very last thing you need is a trolley to the kneecap like which happened to me on my last flight, ouch.

Many of us have experienced the nightmare of a long flight, a full schedule upon arrival at our destination, and no ability to get any sleep on the airplane.  A full day at our destination with no rest makes for a miserable day.  Let’s face it, an airplane is not the best place to get your z’s.  These secrets will help you get better sleep and fight jet lag or even avoid jet lag.

There are several things that you can do to help yourself.  Most just take a small plotting and forethought because once you are on the plane, it is nearly too late to implement these things.  These small secrets will make a huge difference in your ability to sleep on the airplane, and will make for a much more pleasant experience.

Window Seats

When making reservations, make sure you reserve a window seat.  This gives you a nice wall to lean against, and provides you with a small more privacy.  After all, it is much more comfortable to lean against the wall, than wake up and find you are napping on the shoulder of a weirder.

Neck Pillows

At first glance it may seem a bit corny, but neck pillows are a wonderful thought.  Airplane seats are not designed for comfortable sleep.  Having your head bob up and down as you drift off does not make for excellent rest.  Nearly any airport shop sells neck pillows.  They are not expensive, grab one.  It will be a fantastic investment.

A Excellent Meal

Get yourself a excellent meal a few hours before take off.  It is much simpler to sleep on a full stomach and you won’t need to eat any of those airline snacks.  Hopefully, while everyone else is munching on those wonderful pretzels, you will be comfortably dreaming.

Avoid Caffeine

Stay away from caffeine for obvious reasons.  You are plotting to sleep, so don’t counter that by putting a stimulant into your system.  Remember that caffeine not only comes in coffee, but in most soft drinks as well.  If you are thirsty drink water, it is the best choice as it hydrates you (which is vital on flights).  Colas really act as a diuretic which causes you to make more frequent trips to the bathroom, and dehydrates your body (causing headaches, jet lag, muscle cramps, etc.).

Sensory Blockers

Two essential items for sleeping on an airplane are eye masks and noise cancelling headphones.  Even on nighttime flights, you can count on someone sitting next to you that keeps the light on to read, talks to someone across the aisle the whole flight, or worse – engages you in conversation about world politics, their award winning rose, or their newest grandchild.  Eye masks block out the light, and noise cancelling earphones do a wonderful job of providing you with astonishing silent.  Besides, it sends a fantastic message to the person next to you that you are to be left to your sleep.

These five secrets will allow you to arrive at your destination well rested, and in many cases will even help you avoid jet lag or at least fight jet lag.
