5 Tips for Creativity
Creativity happens when we are bold enough to fail. Enjoy the creative process and be open to falling into creativity.
As an author, I use this, otherwise, I would close up, too scared to write anything! When I let the writing process take me away on an adventure, I loosen up and that’s when the ideas flow.
1. Don’t be afraid of being the first, or last, person to fail at what you are attempting. This goes for all forms of creativity.
2. Ignore what others may say while you’re stumbling and learning. Be like a child and have an endless reservoir of self-esteem and don’t give up.
3. Are you sure it was a mistake? Re-define and examine the mistake. Whose standard are we using to measure the outcome? Some things can’t work, but before you throw it out, see if it may be the beginning of something new!
4. Be willing to fall on your backside! Again, like a child, when we are open to failure, success can sneak in while we are not looking.
5. Find a community who can support you as you’re learning the ropes.
