TOP 10 WAYS TO STIMULATE CREATIVITY
The top 10 ways to stimulate or inspire imagination are as follows.
Spend time alone: solitude invites the mind to wonder.
Take time to do nothing: boredom triggers the mind.
Be curious: curiosity leads to exploration, exploration leads to discovery.
Allow your thoughts to roam free: get out of your head and don’t analyze or overthink.
Read fiction, play games, listen to music (classical and new age): synapses are stimulated.
Defy conformity: get that stick out of your ass and let your hair down… I dare you to fall off the edge with your thoughts and desires.
Negate reasoning and logic: they are both overrated and inprisoning. Unlock your chains. Enjoy!
Connect with your inner child: that is your true super power… wheeeee!
Daydream: even do this at work. Tell your boss I said it’s ok and a great idea.
Express and share ideas: conversation is like oxygen to a fire… avoid naysayers and haters. They will only dull the flames of innovation.
Now that your imagination is empowered to run rampant, reel it in, add strategy, do some R&D, scrape your knees from the “failures” and adjust accordingly. Wash, rinse, repeat the creative mindset process! Enjoy.
