Creativity Mind set

Basicly,we are creative. And while some people are naturally more creative than others, we can all have very creative ideas. The problem is, as we grow older, most of us learn to inhibit our creativity for reasons relating to work,acceptable behaviour and just the notion of being a grown-up

Often the only difference between creative and uncreative people is self perception.Creative people see themselves as creative and give themselves the freedom to create. Uncreative people do not think about creativity and do not give themselves the opportunity to create anything new.Being creative may just be a matter of setting aside the time needed to take astep back and allow yourself to ask yourself if there is a better way of doing something.

Exercise your minds. Minds, like bodies, need exercise to keep fit. If you don't exercise your mind, it will get flabby and useless. If you want to expand your creativity, then learn a new skill. It can be anything you choose. Learn a new language. Learn to water ski. Learn to play an instrument. Pick up photography or even try a new sport. All of these activities get your mind working outside of its regular patterns..

Mind mapping has been used by some of history’s greatest brains, including Michelangelo, Mark Twain, and Leonardo Da Vinci. Mind mapping is a whole-brain activity that will awaken your creative side as well as your analytical side. Mind mapping will also help you to generate new ideas when needed. It doesn’t matter whether you’re using it for personal goal setting, problem solving, or simply to become a more creative, whole-brain thinker. Our mind works in pictures, associating one idea to the next. Mind mapping allows you to continue this natural thought process on paper. Mind mapping is one of the most powerful tools for awakening your creativity.

Anyone with normal intelligence is capable of doing some degree of creative work. Creativity depends on a number of things: experience, including knowledge and technical skills; talent; an ability to think in new ways; and the capacity to push through uncreative dry spells. Intrinsic motivation people who are turned on by their work often work creatively is especially critical.
Let your mind wander and you will be surprised at all of the connections you begin to creative.
