Can you become a creative
person? Can you learn to come up with great ideas or learn to create new things?
The answer is yes.
The first step to becoming
creative is to remove the words "I am not creative" from
your vocabulary.
Seriously, do not say them or do not say them even
inside your head.
Now you need to start looking
at what other people are doing. The more you see what they are doing,
the more you can get a feel for how they think, and how they come up with creative
ideas.
Find a way or a place where
you feel totally relaxed.
This is important and you can let your mind come
up with ideas there.
Write them down as you get them. For
me a relaxing place is outside in nature where it is quiet and sunny, or when I
take a long drive in my car by myself.
The last step is to write
down a few ideas every day.
Repeat the process of reading
and observing what similar people are doing and how they are being creative, finding
a relaxing place to write down your thoughts, and writing down a few ideas every
day until you start seeing the kind of results you are happy with. It
may take a few weeks to a few months, but this is the training process you need
to put your mind through to become creative.
Remember, looking at things
from a different angle can also make a big difference to creativity. Question
the way that everyone else is doing something using the same method and see if being
different and doing it another way will produce something cool.
