Self Motivation - Many people seem to have the misconception that only a select few are able to unleash a steady flow of creativity. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, creativity is very similar to a muscle that needs to be exercised in order to consistently give great results.
If you don't practice creative thinking, this skill will very likely wither into non-existence. So how do you unleash your creative thinking? Well, here are four ways to unleash your creative juices flowing within you:
1. Become a human sponge. Creativity breeds creativity, so you should take in as much - and varied - knowledge as you possibly can. Read everything available -- good and bad, and keep your mind open to the infinite possibilities of the universe. The more you know, the more you'll want to know, and the more your faculty of wonder will be exercised. Prepare to be amazed at little facts that seem to pop up out of nowhere and seem to take a life of their own.
2. Focus on a creative activity everyday. It doesn't have to be anything extraordinary. Even doodling is a creative activity. Don't let anything hinder you. Practice drawing for a couple of minutes each day. Bring out your old camera and start snapping photos like crazy. Keep a journal and make a point to write in it religiously.
Who knows, you might actually take to liking those things you do everyday.Pretty soon those things will become a part of you and you'll be addicted to these exercises.
3. Don't be afraid to think out of the box. Being creative means being different. And being different can be very scary. When you think outside the box, you're in new territory that you're unfemiliar with. But just remember, so was every other explorer who's now known throughout the world.
4. Try something different every day or two, and let your experiences broaden your perspective. Explore a new district in your neighborhood. Spend an afternoon in a museum you've never been to before. Open up to the people around you. As you reach out of your comfort zone more and more each day, your sense of adventure will grow.
Think about it. When was the last time you did something for the first time? It's probably been a while. If so, then you've been missing out on a whole lot of experiences that could have added to your mental and spiritual growth.
Why don't you try bungee jumping today? Not only will you learn, but you will also have some unique stories to share, enabling you to practice your storytelling skills and making you the life of the party.
Whatever you do, always remember to think beyond your "limits." If you follow these four steps pretty soon you'll be living a life full others look at with envy. Unleashing your creative thinking will bring about a new zest for life.
