5 Techniques You Could Use To Be More Creative

Am I creative? what is creativity actually? Is creativity inherent or it can be developed like other personal traits? If it can be altered, what are the different techniques that can be used to increase the creativity level of any individual? 

In this ever-changing world, there are many questions related to creativity that need to be answered. If you work at any place which requires you to think out-of-the-box, or if your profession needs you to be more creative than you are, it is almost certain that you will be encountered with the above-mentioned questions. 

Be it a student, be it a job seeker, be it an engineer or be it a writer, everyone in this world desires creativity. Creativity has nowadays transformed from being a desire to a requirement, that everyone desires. 

So how does one alter one's creativity? Here, let's make you aware of some techniques that could be used to boost your creativity level and help you solve your daily life problems using this creativity.

1. Be Random

Whenever you find yourself in a situation where you need your creative thinking to derive a solution to your problem, pull your mind out of the actual topic for a second and think as random as you can. Well, it may look rubbish to you, but being random actually helps you be more creative. 
Think random and write down your thoughts on a paper. The result may be vague scribbling but it will eventually give you free up your mind and look at the problem from many angles.

2. Be in A Group

It is always better to be in a problem in a group rather than being in it alone. As the saying goes, 'Two heads are better than one.' When you encounter a difficult situation, face it as a group instead of facing it individually. The useless random idea of evolved in one person's mind may generate a useful idea in another person's mind if the former share his/her idea with the latter. 
It also says that you should connect to as many people as possible. Different people come with different mindsets, different ideas, and different skill sets. This will help you get more knowledge and help you create a solution more creatively.

3. Educate yourself

When it comes to solving a problem or just increasing your arena of creative thinking, a person must be knowing of some angles from which ideas may come to his/her mind. Higher the number of topics the person is aware of, higher the chances are of him/her finding a creative answer. 
However, it may be noted that awareness here, does not refer to expertise. It has been observed in some recent studies that the creativity level of individual decreases, after it increasing with the expertise till a certain level. 

4. Rest Enough

The modern lifestyle gives almost no time to an individual to rest. The work nowadays requires an individual to give his 24x7 time devoted to his/her productivity. In this constantly revolving clock, we have changed our way of living in such a way that we hardly get a chance to sit peacefully and think about ourselves. 
But our human body is not designed to work like a machine. It needs rest. It needs some time to process the information given to it. It is often said that sleep of 8-10 hours is optimal for an individual working 8x5 hours a week. If this is not available, the sleep of 6.5 hours is an extreme necessity for a human body, 
To help your mind function clearly, and your body to give it's assistance to your brain, take the proper rest. It will help you make all the creative and divergent thinking decisions in your daily life.

5. Be in a Silent Place

Doing everything as mentioned above but not being in a peaceful or silent place, is not going to help you bring in more creativity to your mind. A silent environment gives your mind directions to expand its thoughts in every direction. As the Indian saying goes, 'A full pot cannot be filled', a mind distracted from noises and unnecessary thoughts from all the directions, isn't going to think creatively. 
Being in a silent place does not mean that you need to completely isolate yourself from the world, but it just means to be in a place where your mind is able to think. You may think of going on a walk or maybe a trip to a hill-station may help you in it.

So here, we presented 5 useful techniques that could be used to enhance your creativity. Practice them in your day by day life. Tell us how they turned out for you in the comments section below.

5 LAWS OF LOVE: Laws that love always follows...

HEY CREATORS!!! HOW ARE YOU ALL I hope you all are doing good... This week I tried to take a random topic to write on... Although it might not be in the arena of this blog's description, it is a general topic that everyone can relate to... As we can all read above, the title of this post is 5 laws of love, I would really like to draw your kind attention to a quote that is maybe the best quote that we can hold on to in our life... There is no greater calling on the Earth than to love and be loved... Anything other than that isn't really living...  Really, we really need love in this world and believe me, nothing, I repeat, nothing , can't benefit us more than love in this world. This reminds me of a Mother Teresa quote which says, The most valuable thing that we can adhere to in our life to be happy, is nothing else but love because at the end of this life, looking back, anything which is actually going to matter to us, are our relationships.
