Getting Creative

To get creative we have to start by thinking creative. Like with most things in life, the best way to learn this is by practice. The more practice, the better we get at it.
5 tips to start with: (as mentioned on Flanders DC 2008:)


1. Look at things from a different perspective:
We are all used to look at everything in the way society has taught us. But why are things the way they are. The next time you look at something try to imagine what else it could be, or could do. You can start by applying this to objects we use everyday.
Look at the picture attached to this post for example. You can wear clothes, but you can also use them as a lamp.


2. Don’t judge too fast:
Each day we say or think things like: ‘Impossible’, ‘That is too difficult’, ‘We will never make that’. Who postpones his judgment and refrains from immediately saying ‘What a crazy idea’ and/or laughing will discover new lines of approach and new solutions more often.
Think of somebody who annoys or frustrates you and then write down five positive things about him or her.


3. Associate in a flexible way:
What do we mean by associating? If we think of ‘the sky’ for example, we automatically think of other things like ‘blue’ and ‘bird’. This is what we call associating. It is like letting go off, or loosely linking the concepts discussed in our previous blog. It is a technique that is often used in brainstorming. By practicing this time after time, we learn to associate quickly and flexible.
Take the first word that crosses your mind. Take one minute to write down all the words that are aroused in your mind by this first word. Do the same thing with another word and try to write down two times as much.


4. Think of alternatives:
It is rare for your first idea to be the best one. Try to think further. Think of alternatives. Don’t be satisfied with just one solution.
Think of ten ways to surprise your best friend at his wedding.


5. Use your imagination:
Our minds are filled with treasures of images, smells, tastes and sounds. Try to recall these to practice your imagination. Creating a ‘picture’ surrounding an idea makes it stick better, also with others.
Imagine your supermarket. Walk through the aisles and see the products. Imagine the smells and the sounds you hear along the way.

HOPE THIS ARTICLE ENLIGHT YOU GUYS :)
