Creativity is a phenomenon whereby something new and somehow valuable is formed. The created item may be intangible (such as an idea, a scientific theory, a musical composition, or a joke) or a physical object (such as an invention, a literary work, or a painting).
There are certain days in your life which are dull and you find that your creativity has hit a wall and you feel unable to find the solutions to your problems. If you want to progress in this world then you need to make sure that you have the ability to think out of the box. Most of the people like to blame a lack of time for not being creative but it is important to understand that you can only produce best results when you are happy and full of energy. To be creative you need to have motivation and energy. You need to understand that creativity is not a skill. It is a lifestyle and you can adopt it by making little changes in your life. Here are some useful tips for staying motivated and creative in your everyday life. It will improve your domestic and professional life.
1. Get some alone time and make the best use of it
Life has become hectic and the stress of everyday life can have an adverse effect on your creativity. The mind can become overwhelmed and it may hinder its ability to think clearly. One of the best ways of getting your creativity back on track is to get some alone time. You need to have a place that you can claim only for yourself and make that place your safe haven. Make sure it is a place where you can have alone time and there is no one to disturb you there.
If your mind is wayward then it will not be able to think clearly and clarity is essential for creativity. If you want to think out of the box then you need to create an environment where there are no distractions. Alone time will help in clearing your mind and it can give you a new perspective on things.
2. Document your life
The best way of keeping a record of your life is to keep a journal. Creative ideas do not come out of the blue. There is always a basis for the origin of an idea. Whenever you find something inspiring or come with a mind-blowing idea then you should make sure that you note it down. If you do not record it then you will end up forgetting it and it will stay just a passing thought.
If you want the idea to materialize at some point then you need to make sure that you remember it. You can think about the cause and effect of the idea over time. You can use your imagination to look for solutions that can help in making the idea a reality.
3. Do not stress yourself out
Human beings are not infinite. They have their limits. Energy is an essential factor of ensuring focus. Once you have spent all of your energy you will find it impossible to focus. When you are out of energy you should take a break because if you try to continue even when your energy is down you will only stress yourself out. Stress is not good for creativity at all. Focus and concentration require a fresh mind so make sure that you get enough rest to make your mind fresh.
4. Get inspired
Inspiration is the key to creativity. It does not just come out of the blue. Different people have different sources of inspiration. Some people find it in music, some in art, and some in movies. Inspiration can come from simplest of things like walking, looking at nature or reading a particular book. Whatever your inspiration is, you need to make sure that you give it some time. You should never be too busy to give some time to the things that you enjoy and things that bring out your creativity.
5. Do not be afraid to step out your comfort zone
If you want to open new horizons then you need to make sure that you are not afraid of stepping out of the comfort zone. You need to understand that change is not a bad thing and it is not possible to plan every moment of your life because life is uncertain. So if you find yourself facing a problem you cannot solve, you need to step out of the comfort zone so you could find a solution. You need to be brave and ready to embrace change if you want to be creative.
These are some of the simple practices that will make sure that your creativity is kept alive and you can use it to live a happy and successful life
Висновки
Let’s start with the dictionary definition, however brief and limited, it covers the basics: Creativity: the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc.; originality, or imagination.
To this definition let us add the following: Creativity: an act of transformation by which we turn one idea or thing into something else by way of intellectual, chemical or manual alchemy.
And this: Creativity: life as a gigantic erector set. You can put anything together in new and original ways–the most immaterial with the most concrete, the most esoteric melded to the most down to earth.
Albert Einstein referred to this thinking process as “combinatory play.”
We humans have a precious tool called ‘creativity’. We are practically born with it and with it we can do what any reasonable person would believe was impossible. So why do so many of us give up using this priceless asset as adults? Intensely creative people do not give it up. It’s not as if they have more creativity, but they certainly use it more. Creativity is like any muscle, the more you work it, the stronger it becomes. Einstein once said: “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost.” Martha Graham
