>>7765462By thinking of what you desire and want to see more of. And also while you a tit you can ask yourself if you are able to really feel things or are able to think clearly.

But this will seriously hinder your ability to tap into that creative part of your brain. Identify if you have a problem like that and work on it.Meditating helps as well to get those thoughts in order. Just observing your mind letting every thought happen and see where it takes you.
