Studies show that the way most of us spend our mornings is exactly opposite to the conditions that experts tell us to promote open­minded thinking. Take hurried wake up, for example; in a study, researchers reported that imaginative ideas are most likely to come to us when we’re powerless and not focused. The brain conditions are at their weakest in these moments, allowing unexpected connections to be made. Sleepy people’s “more outward moving thinking” leads them to “widening their search” which leads to an increase in creative problem solving. By not giving yourself time to adjust your absent mind, you’re missing the surprising solutions it may offer.

The stress hormone(荷尔蒙) can harm certain physical parts that coat our brain cells. Damage to these parts slows down the speed with which signals are transported, making lightning­quick “Find it!” moments less likely. A recent study found that subjects who watched a sorrow­making video were less able to solve problems creatively than people who watched an upward video. A positive mood, wrote professor Ruby Nadler, increases “adaptability of recognition” while a negative one narrows our scope(范围，机会).

So what should we do in mornings? We’d set the alarm a few minutes earlier and lie awake in bed, following our thoughts where they lead and writing down any creative thought.

And once in the office, one of the right things to do is to drink coffee. Caffeine not only makes us more alert but also increases the brain’s level of positive hormone, which influences feelings of motivation and rewards when we hit on a great idea.

After we get that cup of coffee --- we’d direct our computer browser not to the news of the day but to the funniest videos the web offers. Now there’s YouTube --- video of laughing resources. Laughing is a good way to start the day.
