Creative thinking can work wonders to human mind and activities. People have been looking out for various methods and measures to boost creativity. Experts believe that creative thinking is directly related to the energy level of human brain. The article below offers you methods to boost your creative side of the brain via utilizing five vital senses.
My fears are most powerful when they’re simmering just under the surface of my awareness. I’m resistant to a new idea, I’m defensive about holding on to my old ways, I feel excited and panicked at the same time – these are sure-fire signs that there’s some fear under there.
Being creative is not limited to those in the arts. You can add everyday creativity to your life. Doing so will inspire your whole life, not just those occasional times when you chose to indulge your creative side. There are simple ways to bring creativity into your life every day. Explode your surroundings with vibrant colors. Find the color or colors that make you feel your best. Different colors can have a different effect on your mood. Red can make you feel more powerful and inspired, so on those days when you feel a little out of touch with your creativity, wear red. Perhaps just throw on a red scarf or put a red hankie in your suit pocket. Lavender is good for stress. Set a pretty candle on your desk even if you can't light it. The color is soothing and the scent can be very calming.
Take a look around you right now. Look away from the computer screen and scan around you – the surface of your desk or table, now scan farther to look at the rest of the room. Close your eyes and imagine the rooms you can’t see from here; particularly the space where you most often work on your creative projects. Take a deep breath and really take in the image. What’s the impact?
There are many myths around creativity. These are general beliefs that are thrown around by people often enough that others start to believe them, just because they’ve become familiar and heard often, not because there’s actually any truth in them.

“Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me” goes the familiar rhyme. Hmmm...


Words in fact can do more damage to your creativity, confidence and self-esteem than any physical pain.

Let’s be clear: You Are Creative


The number of definitions on creativity available in the market cannot be compared to the wealth of definitions that people like you and me espouse, understand and live by.

What stops you creating more?


What’s prevents you from realising your creative potential, today and every day?

In my life, sleep is the number one way that I can either enhance my self-care and nourish myself or defeat my self-care and deplete my energy, peace of mind & productivity all in one shot.

Most of us as creative people like to feel free from any restrictions or boundaries.


One of the reasons we are creative, and we continue to explore different ways of expressing that creativity, is because a regular non-creative life where we do exactly the same thing day in day out is our idea of torture.

Bring the outside in. Flowers are nature's most beautiful gift. Get creative with flower arranging. Your home will be prettier and smell nice too. Take a small arrangement to work with you a couple of days a week. Get even more creative by picking up several small arrangements and create your own. Another great way to bring some outdoor beauty into your home is a miniature fountain. Dress it up with some pretty river rocks and listen to the peaceful sound of trickling water.


Can you imagine a world without music? How much duller life would be without the music we love. Add music every chance you get. Driving in rush hour traffic is a great time for good music. Add a little spice to the mix by exploring different types of music. Do a workout DVD to heavy metal music. Now that would be different and who knows, you may like it! Dull chores can certainly be livened up with the right sounds. Music makes the time seem to go faster and can stimulate your creativity.


Change your diet. If you're in a rut when it comes to meal planning, spice it up a bit. Do you get tired of the same thing day after day? You just run out of ideas for dinner sometimes. If you don't often cook or don't know how, take a cooking class. Get a new cookbook and try some interesting recipes. Go ethnic with the recipes. I love Chinese and Mexican food. A friend has offered to teach me how to make REAL eggrolls. That would be fun to share with all my friends. Try new things on the menu at your favorite restaurant. I noticed lately that I usually order the same thing every time. I have decided that I am going to be adventurous on the next round.


Change your daily routine. Try a new coffee shop on your way to work. Get a muffin instead of the usual bagel. Leave the house early enough to stop for breakfast instead of just skipping it. Drive home a different way. I know at least ten ways to get to my house, most of them scenic.


The more of these tools you use, the more creative and richer your life will be.
