Creativity - is the prerogative of not only artists and poets. Each of us has the opportunity to develop their creative flair - offering new ways to improve neizbitye that surrounds us, to make life easier and happier.Creativity will increase the effectiveness of your natural talents, creates a greater sense of success and happiness. After all, it helps to find easier ways to what we like to do.
Happiness is not to have only the money, it is the joy of achievement, in awe of creative effort.
- Franklin Roosevelt
Place of creation is, in every sphere of life. We are surrounded by the results of creative ideas on how great and small. And little of creativity is not as important as significant. In fact, the more creativity in the minor events of your life, the greater the likelihood that you will take a creative person in something significant.
Ups and downs of the creative mood is quite expected. Today, we are full of new ideas, and tomorrow our brain refuses to work. Although it is natural, but are often unable to think creatively is fixed in our behavior, and we are increasingly demonstrating the monotony and boredom, rather than creativity. This is due to the fact that our habitual behavior is not always helpful. Most of these harmful preferences can be broken down into seven categories. I call them the "seven deadly sins of creativity."
A. Lack of knowledge and attention
The knowledge and attention - it is a prerequisite. Creative thinking can not be applied until such time until you reach a certain level of knowledge on the current situation or problem. Thus, the work depends on both hemispheres of the brain - the creative right and responsibility for the logic of the left.
The first action of the brain, when he takes on a creative adventure, in fact, controlled by logic, not creativity. This is because the work is based on the fact that it was up to him. Your logical left hemisphere analyzes the situation and all known facts, defines the problem to be solved, and then transmits the creative right brain. In other words, when there is a creative task, first you have to rely on its own logic and analyze what you already know. If you do not include logic, the review process will go in the wrong direction.
Two. Lack of enthusiasm and passion
Enthusiasm - the life force of creation. Creativity flourishes when you view their work with enthusiasm and passion. It is very difficult to initiate creative solutions for what you absolutely uninteresting. When you are spurring curiosity and genuine interest in the case, your creativity and motivation are enhanced automatically (read the article "The War of Art")
Three. The desire to do only what you have always done
There is a saying that you have to be crazy to do the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. If you keep doing what you're doing, you get what you got before. Of course, you will minimize errors and element of surprise, but it will also deprive you of the benefits of creativity.
We are all a figment of our previous experience, but we must go beyond their comfort zone and take on the previously untried activities. Of course, if we want some achievements in the future. The basis of the practical work - it's just trying to do something new, to see what works and what does not.
4. Fear of failure
The most creative adventure - it's a step into the unknown, enthralling you in the direction of what you have never done before. Any trip to the territories uncharted, carries some degree of natural risks. Many people are afraid to take risks, because of what killed all of their creative ideas before they have a chance to develop.
If you want to develop their creative flair, you will need to overcome your fear of failure. Confidence and enthusiasm for your ideas prompt decision. If you are confident and passionate about their ideas, you are more likely to take on a calculated risk, take advantage of this opportunity to overcome other factors that limit your creativity fly.After all, by and large you know that behind every success is the test failed, and that each failure leads to success.
Five. The absence of pauses and stops
Where are you when you come to the most creative ideas? I think at this point you do not sit at my desk at work and did not try hard to think creatively. Rather, it happens when you give the rest of the logical side of your brain and do something else, such as walking slowly down the street.
The most serious creative insights often come when you're a little distracted from the problems. This gives your brain a chance to reflect on the information, often unconsciously, and look at the situation from a new angle. This can be a great opportunity to get away from the logical process in the depth of creativity to get access to new ideas and solutions. After a couple of hours of continuous operation the best way to spur your creativity to ordinary jog (read the article "The power of your subconscious mind").
6. Reluctance to check what impression your creation
No matter how silly it sounds, some creative ideas have not been successful in society, simply because their creators did not understand the significance of what they create, and did not think about the impression, which produces a result of their labor. This is - a great example of that creativity belongs to both sides of the brain, the creative and logical right-left hemispheres. When your creativity to encourage you to create something, the logical part of your nature should all check to confirm and justify.
In other words, the creative process - it is something more than just come up with the idea, and one day make it happen behind closed doors. The most creative ideas, which have left traces in the world, relentlessly examined, reviewed by disinterested persons, sometimes Remade and checked again. Scientists involved in this in the lab with other scientists. Artists do it when the paint pictures and put them in the gallery. Bloggers do it when transferring their thoughts into stories and articles and spread them on the network.
7. Limiting ourselves with that other set
It does not matter what you are creative person, or how much you have done, there will always be people who will argue that what you are doing - is impossible. Or they will declare that your creative ideas are impractical and ridiculous, because they are not wanted, even if their claim is not without foundation. When you encounter such people, do not try to convince them. Instead, forget about their existence. They just spoil your creative impulse and wasting your time.
And, unfortunately, in your creative process can also interfere with those people who genuinely care about you. They see that you risk going into uncharted territory, and they will try to get you back on a familiar track. They do this to protect you - to shield against possible failures. But in reality they are just as obscure you from exercising their great ideas.
When it comes to translating creative ideas into reality, you should try to do what you want to try to go where you want to go and follow your own intuition. Do not make the wrong choice. Do not let others put your ideas into the cell.
