3 Easy Steps to Be Creative and Generate Great Ideas

Ξ April 3rd, 2008 | → | ∇ Thoughts are things |

Ever get a creativity block?

Writers block?

Can’t seem to find a solution for a problem big or small?

Feel stuck in a rut in some area of your life?

Here are 3 easy steps to help you be more creative, find solutions to problems faster and even generate great ideas.  

  1. Ask a clear question, this may seem obvious but it’s amazing how unclear, vague and fuzzy our questions can be.   Make your question the more precise the better. 
     

  2.  Mentally acknowledge and accept that you ‘just don’t know’ the answer, at this second in time, this is very important as it frees your mind to open and receive new ideas. 
  3. Now just go about your day, do something else even during your working day or though it may be more fun to paint, go fishing, or play golf.  Trust that your mind is now acting rather like an internet search engine and a solution will surface, you just don’t know when – and that’s a surprise!

Begin to see and make your own creativity a daily treasure hunt.  If it helps start with something small and just strengthen your belief in your creative ability as you go, and  like strengthening a muscle and work with it.  

 

Use this three step approach if you have a problem or where you need a creative solution, it really does work.

Recognize yourself more and more as a creative person. 
 

Have fun, your mind is alive with ideas!
