Simple ways that can make you more creative
Simple ways that can make you more creative
Let us ask you a simple question, Where are you? Wait! Before you answer it
instantly, we want you to think more deeply. Let’s try again! Where are you? Are you ready with your answer? Most of you will respond to this by exactly telling where are they, which is what we are supposed to do, but how many of you answered this question not literally. Was your reply different from a generic one? Now, you will be amazed to know that when the same question was asked from a batch 40 students of 8-9 years of age, only three students said that they are in a classroom, rest all the answers were unusual. This simple- objective question can have more than a million answers and none of them could be called ‘wrong’. So, if ‘A’ says that she is in the classroom and ‘B’ says he is in his dream or if ‘C’ says she is in her favorite place, then all the answers are correct and most of them can be called creative response. That’s what creativity is all about, when you find different answers to the same problem or situation that’s when you being creative.
Creative skills helps us to think and act inexplicably, it also saves you from tricky situations, example If an interviewer asks you a very common question like where do you see yourself in next five years, then here everything lies on how creatively you answer this most frequently asked question.
Out of the box ideas, spontaneous response and an inquisitive mind can set you apart from the rest of the crowd. But, why some people have better creative skills than others? Well, the answer is- we are all creative but most of us do not know it.
There are some simple ways that can enhance your creativity and can in developing you mind better.
- Great sense of humor- The more humorous you are, the more creative you become. When you crack a joke your creative mind is at its peak, you develop your cognitive skills. It also helps you in becoming more familiar and friendlier with the people around you and that builds your confidence which eventually boosts your creativity.
- Be childlike – Albert Einstein famously said, “To stimulate creativity, one must develop the childlike inclination for play.” And Pablo Picasso said, “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” We are not asking you to cry or nag like a baby but to stay uninhabited and free a three year old. Observe like a child and imagine like a child. For example, notice the clouds carefully and you will be able see the shape of the cloud resembling to some object or person.
- Dance and Theatre- Any art form is all about creativity, imagination and passion. Doing dance or theatre on regular basis improves your body awareness, Keeps you focused, balanced and controlled; it develops the problem solving abilities and all together amplifies your imaginative and creative skills.
One -minute activities that can increase your creativity
Observe body language – Try do it for a minute every day, if you are a regular metro commuter you can do it while travelling, or stand in your balcony and observe that little child playing, or sit in a park and just observe any person you want , there is no end to this list. If you do it every day only for one-minute you will see a miraculous change in your own creative understanding and thinking.
- Stop and watch – another simple one-minute activity is to stop wherever you see something interesting and watch it for a minute.
- Create your own vocabulary- Spent a minute to give a new name to any object around you. For example if you are asked to give a new name to a fridge what will it be? Remember, it should be in gibberish (having no meaning in any language.)
- Rendezvous with kids- Indulge yourself everyday in talking with kids (preferably 3-6 years age) talk to them on any topic and let them take the lead, don’t correct them or advice them. You are the student here!!
