5 Easy Ways to Be More Creative Each day

Many of us have lives that are focused on all BUT being creative. We all have got obligatorythings we just have to do, meetings, chores, commitments and ongoing demands that attack us from every direction.  Who has time for creativity, and who has the energy for it, even when we have the time?

Luckily, even occasional amounts of time spent in a creative way can increaseyour creativity,and in the processaddan imporved feeling of happiness to most parts of our lives.  If you’ve lost touch with your creative side and are wanting to recapture it again, there are some veryeasytechniques you can employ to do just this – even if you only have limited spare time and motivation available.

Try something new as frequently as you can. It’s so simple to let oursevles drop into a boring rut in in life. We travel the same way to the same job and spend the day doing the same thingsday after day.This puts our minds into a trance of sorts, because people can accomplish most everything on autopilot.  Carry on long enough like this, you could forget that our livescould be any other way.  Promise to add at the minimumanew activity to your life weekly. Something as easy as trying a new recipe, shopping at a different shop, or takingan alternatedriving route. Experiment with your your normal patterns and you wake up  your mind – and your creative inspiration.

Look at life from a different viewpoint. When was the last time you really LOOKED at the people and objects surrounding you?  Are you really seeing them, or do they disappear away because you’re so concentrated on other things?  For a couple of minutes daily, take time out to truly SEE all that’s around you.  Notice your friend’s dazzling smile, the way the rays of the sunplays on the clouds and landscape and the odourscarried in the breeze.Lie in your garden and gaze up at the clouds, or flipround and examine the grass and insects. Look atall around youin a bit more depth and you’ll realize you’re SEEING so much more than ever before.

Find creative outlets more often.  A reason many people avoid creative pursuits is because we believe we litlle time for them. You don’t have to spendloads of time to benefit from a lot of happiness from using your creativity. Youmay not be able to escape from all your “the necessaries of the day” but you can absolutely fit in 10 or 15 minutes to write, paint, dance, sing, or stitch each day.  You may believe that such a tiny period of time would not make adifference, but those few minutes can feel like hours when you’re spending time doing something you genuinelyenjoy.  You might even get the inspiration to allocate more time to be creative by reducing your TV watching, stopping an activity you no longer enjoy, or even changingemployment to enjoy more creativity time.

Discover the streak of creative inspiration in all things. Everwanted to know how ideas for common products and inventions were conceived? Look at all the items in your house, from pictures to kitchenware, and think about the process that the creators used to bring these items into your life.  Who thought up that nifty little gadget that lets you open bottles and jarsmore safely?  Who got the idea to put paper towels on a roll for easier storage and use?  Can you think of any great inventions that would make people’s lives easier?  Can you think of ways to improve on the products you see around you?  Whether you take action on any of these ideas isn’t important; just by thinking more creatively, you will be tapping into your own creative inspiration.

Open your mind and let good stuff seep in.  One of the reasons we feel shut off from our creative vision is because we don’t spend enough time feeding it with positive ideas.  Take time to open and expand your mind.  Read more, learn more, and open to the possibilities in your life.  Focus more of your attention on positive, uplifting material.  Read books that inspire you, visit an art gallery and look closely at the beautiful creations on display, or listen to music that stimulates your senses.  Before long, you’ll be itching to express your creativity.

Remember that there is no right or wrong way to tap into your creativity; go with whatever works best for you.  Use these ideas as they are, adjust them to better suit your circumstances, or use them as jumping off points for your own creative ideas.  Simply focusing more on creativity alone will help you to tap into your natural creative flow.
