Here’s another interesting book someone sent me that I’d like to share with you, welcome to part one!

25 SIMPLE STRATEGIES TO BOOST YOUR CREATIVITY :

1 – BE DRIVEN

You can have whatever you put your mind to.  If there’s an area of your life where you want to be more creative, you can achieve it with the right mind set.

2 – STUDY YOUR SUBJECT

If you have a certain area you want to boost with creativity,  start to become an expert on that subject.  Study the subject itself and then study people who are successful in that realm.

3 – STRENGHTEN YOUR CONFIDENCE.

With greater confidence comes greater creativity.  Being confident in your own abilities and ideas relaxes you and allows the ideas to flow more freely  because you’re not as likely to automatically censor every idea you come up with.

4 – EXPLORE

Try new things.  Being creative means that you’re thinking of new ways of doing things.  Step out of your comfort zone.  Experiment with different thoughts and actions.

5 – STEER CLEAR OF JUDGING YOURSELF.

Stay away from the urge to criticize yourself or your performance.  Even if you’re unhappy with your results, they could be leading you to better results.

6 – MAKE TIME.

Give yourself enough time to be creative. 

Sometimes you need to spend a lot of time thinking before the perfect idea comes to you.

7 – BRAINSTORM NEW IDEAS.  

Grab some paper and write your thoughts down without stopping.   After several minutes, you’ll find that you’ve written down some excellent ideas.

8 – KEEP A JOURNAL.

Keeping a journal will help you chronicle your journey.  In addition, some great ideas may come to you as you reflect on your day.

9 – REMEMBER YOUR INSPIRATION.

Remember the reasons why you want to be creative.

Think about these things if you find yourself struggling.

10 – THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.

There’s always more than one way of doing things. 

You can start thinking creatively by coming up with new ways of doing even simple, routine things.

Hope you’re taking notes, part two next week.  I’d like to thank the author who unfortunately is not mentioned in this little book.  Enjoy!

My name is Michele Andree. I am an artist, I paint musicians in action. I think I’m a musician at heart, my instrument being… a brush, so I play…brush and I paint… music.
I love jazz. I call it freedom music. It promotes special values. I love intelligent people and good conversations.

Some people ask me how music relates to art. Personally I find they go hand in hand. Music is what turns me on to painting. It makes me see colours
