Staying creative doesn’t have to be a challenge or hard work, and it certainly isn’t something that should be forced. Here are our tips on how to stay creative in life:
- Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, do what feels right – Creativity should never be forced, it just happens and sometimes the first hurdle is your mind, overthinking of being self-critical. Stop and just do. Creativity is often about the process and not the finished product.
- Mediate and learn to relax – my switching off your mind, through yoga or learning to mediate, you will find your mind will be more open to creativity.
- Write down your thoughts and ideas in a notebook – Carry this notebook with you everywhere, you never know when creativity will strike you.
- Have a chat with like-minded people – This sounds simple, but if you chat through your ideas and thoughts aloud with someone, it can often lead to ne creative concepts.
- Experiment – don’t be scared to experiment with new ideas (also remember number 1)
- Mix it up and change your routine – perhaps go for a lunchtime stroll, or try a new coffee place, this will naturally encourage new ideas to form.
- Get out there – explore new places, a change of scenes can do wonders to your creativity.
- Do not give up!
