UNIQUE WAYS TO BOOST CREATIVITY

If you want to boost creativity, show up to build momentum.

For example, the more I stay consistent with the act of being creative, the ‘easier’ it feels to keep my creativity alive.

Therefore, taking action is one of the important ways to boost creativity.

Sometimes, we wait until we feel inspired to do the thing.

Whereas, I have found that creative momentum is bulit once you start doing the thing. Thus, showing up is a helpful way to boost creativity.

What creative action do you want to take action on today?

Listening to music is one of the great ways to boost creativity. Research has found that listening to music can help stimulate the brain’s right hemisphere, which is responsible for creativity and imagination.

Another study states that listening to happy music facilitates divergent thinking. Further, divergent thinking involves more creativity.

Here’s a Spotify playlist I’ve created for you to inspire joy and adventure!

Not only that, but I have found that music helps me gain motivation and inspiration. So, I am listening to music a lot!

Overall, listening to music is one of the enjoyable ways to boost creativity.

I believe that travelling and changing your surroundings can be one of the amazing ways to boost creativity.

When we travel we broaden our horizon and perspective. If we are open to it!

Or simply, it can be a great way to see things differently, have a change of scenery or hit the refresh button.

I personally love to travel!

Furthermore, you actually don’t have to travel far to boost your creativity.

Simple ways that you can change your scenery in your everyday life:

• Work from a new cafe
• Try out a workout in a different workout studio
• Go for a walk in different part of your city. Explore!
• Meet a new friend
• Go to a botanic garden or a new park
• Do something you don’t usually do
• Go to the beach
• Experiment in the kitchen. Try a new recipe
• Switch up where you eat your meals i.e eat a meal outside or on your balcony

Overall, changing your scenery means mixing things up from your usual. And maybe stepping out of your comfort zone a little!

Taking breaks when necessary can be just important as the other ways to boost creativity.

A break to simply be can be a great way to boost your creativity.

Making space in your life and mind can allow room for more creativity to flow!

Simple ways to take a break:

• Take a long bath or shower
• Practice your self-care routine
• Go for a walk
• Stop scrolling on your phone
• Sleep or take a nap
• Listen to a guided meditation
• Give yourself a self-massage
• Relax

Spending time in nature is one of the ways to boost creativity.

Not only can spending in nature be self-care but it can also help you spark creativity.

Nature can inspire creativity as it helps you slow down and decrease stress levels, thus creating more calm. Additionally, spending time in nature can boost your happiness. Thus, creating the perfect foundation for creativity to boost!

Furthermore, one study has shown that spending time in nature can help us restore our attention, thus relieving mental fatigue and leaving more room to be open to creativity and problem-solving.

In what ways can you add spending time in nature to your weekly routine?

When you have ideas come to you write them down! This simple, yet effective tip was a game changer for me!

I used to leave my ideas in my head. And just think I would remember them later.

Writing your creative ideas down can actually help you be more creative, rather than waiting until the right time to be creative.

Be creative when the moment is there.

Writing down your ideas just does something.

Instead of leaving your creative ideas in your mind and saying “Ahh what was that idea I had again?”

Therefore, this tip is about getting in the habit of writing down your ideas when they come to.

Allowing yourself to brainstorm is one of the ways to boost creativity.

I find brainstorming helpful in getting your creative juices and inspiration going.

Write down your ideas like no one is reading or watching them!

Ways that you can brainstorm include:

• Drawing pictures
• Writing
• Journalling
• Mind mapping
• Collecting images (& gaining inspiration) on Pinterest

Overall, brainstorming can be an important piece of your creative process.

Dancing is one of the fun ways to boost creativity.

Dancing can encourage you to express yourself through your movements.

Additionally, dancing can support imagination.

You don’t have to dance to any choreographed moves. It can simply be you, grooving to your fave tunes the way you want and having fun!

Do you like to dance?

Try this:

Pop on your favourite music and dance in your room like no one’s watching! And, have fun!

Not only, does dancing boost my creativity but it almost always improves my mood too.

Your creativity can be expressed in many different ways.
