Working on a personal project at the moment, "A Guide for Creative Thinking." We all have a magic recipe for getting our creative juices flowing. Meditation, walking in nature, taking a nap (10 or 15 min ๐) or reading a book are some of the several techniques I use when generating ideas. ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ถ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ณโฐ๐ด๐๐
Meditation stands at the top of my list for generating new ideas at the moment. What if you are working on two, three or even more creative briefs simultaneously? It for sure can be stressful, right? We live vibrant and busy lives and are constantly bombarded with information, but you will be surprised to get to new ideas we need to find a way to quiet the mind. Mindfulness helps to train the mind to be quieter and be more focused at the present moment, and instead of finding distractions, it sharpens your concentration. It helps to deal with a stressful situation calmly by accepting the storm and moving through with grace. ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ
Walking in nature is another way to restart the brain to help with problem-solving and discover the well of creativity that lives inside you. ๐ถ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ณโฐ
Before I discovered meditation, I used to nap for 10 or 15 minutes after receiving a creative brief, and it was one of the best methods to see the project's result. It would always come right before or the second after you get up. ๐ดย ๐
I love books and reading a good book not only can help you to solve problems in your creative brief but improve the quality of your life by making you rich on a much deeper level. ๐๐
How do you start your creativity to shine? What is your magic recipe? ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ถ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ณโฐ๐ด๐๐
