Everyone can be creative

Everyone can be creative

20 Mar 2020 by Ted Escobedo   2 min read

While some people are naturally creative and easily overflow with ideas and ways to express themselves, others may have different path to their ‘Eureka!’ moments. One thing is certain though: We are all creative.

The book, Building Your Creativity: Tools for Having Ideas and Bringing Them to Be, argues that creativity is hardly a fixed trait. Rather, like any other skill, creativity is something you can train yourself to cultivate with the right kind of practice. In fact, it's more of a science than an art.

Here are some quick takeaways to get your creative juices flowing:

  • Push past your first ideas. Use the spark of your first idea and grow into something.
  • Don't self-edit (especially at the beginning). Once you get going, keep going – do not top to ponder – power through and silence your inner critic.
  • Take a break. Our best ideas often happen during what scientists call the creative pause. If you are faced with a situation that requires a creative solution – walk away. You’ll be surprised what comes to you in your down time.
  • Personalize your space. Sometimes channeling your energy into creating a small space that reflects your personality will get you to start thinking with your mind, hands and heart – all keys to great ideas!
