7 Rules of refreshing your creativity
How to Find New Ideas
It can happen to everyone. One day you are full of creativity and ideas, and the next day you are empty. You can’t invent anything. What can you do? How to find your muse? How to blow up this wall that disturbs you to create?
1. Assure yourself that you’re not really out of ideas
Firstly get calm. Don’t panic. Your brain possesses endless storage of ideas. You just need to fit a key to a lock of this storage. Your brain not only stores the ideas, it invents them. As long as you feed it with new information it creates. You can’t stop this process. So don’t worry. Know that this break is temporary.
2. Reduce the stress
The main enemy of your creativity is stress and anxiety. Do not block yourself with the thoughts that you can’t create anything; it makes your stress stronger. Relax. Reduce your stress.
3. Go for a walk
Let your brain rest. Don’t think about your task permanently. Switch to something else. Do nothing. Go for a walk. Phone your friends. Look at the clouds. Listen to the birds. Go for a walk and look around. And your brain will be refreshed with new information. Who knows, may be your return with some new ideas.
4. Feed Your Brain
Your brain needs “food”. Watch good movies, listen to great music, read the awesome books. Do something extraordinary and unexpected. It gives to your brain new bricks to build up new ideas.
5. Gather information about your topic
Know everything about the idea you try to invent. Looking for all facts you can find. Read the articles. Talk with specialists. Think like potential client of your idea. Plunge into your topic.
6. Enlarge the field of your searching
When you think that all has already invented in your topic, look outside. Look in the other domain. You can borrow some good ideas and bring it to your domain.
7. Be ready for the inspiration
The great idea can born in any time and any place. So be ready. Always keep some notebook and pen to write your thoughts.
Don’t panic. Be calm. Blow up the brain blocks. Be ready for the inspiration.
