THINGS YOU CAN DO TO BOOST YOUR CREATIVITY

Many people believe you’re either creative or you aren’t. That isn’t true. Even the least creative person can sharpen their creative skills with focused effort, and creative types can get even more creative. Following are five ways to boost your creativity, whether you feel it’s at zero or just not as developed as you’d like.

Commit to creativity. Decide to become more creative and start thinking of yourself as a creative person. Don’t shy away from creative risks, and don’t be afraid to share your creative endeavors. By doing creative things, you’ll become more creative.

Move. Physical activity stimulates creative thinking. Move your body and creativity will follow.

Mix up your human connections. Spice up your way of thinking by connecting with new people. You will feed off the diversity of fresh ideas and get your creative juices flowing.

Ask good questions. Creativity begins with questions: “Creativity begins with questions. What if? How could I? How does that work?” The better you get at asking questions like these, the more creative you’ll become.

Generate lots of ideas. When it comes to creativity, quantity yields quality. Generate ideas with no limits and play with those ideas: Put them together, take them apart, look at them from different perspectives and boil them down to the best ideas. Then do something with them. That’s creativity.
