Read

Reading is one routine that can help you in exploring

new opportunities and possibilities. It will give you

enough knowledge about what you are doing, what

you want and how you can achieve it.

Don’t restrict yourself from reading! From comics to

work related articles, read all…

My work and creativity is a outcome of what that happens right between reading cognitive

psychology and the latest issue of donald duck. - Ole L. Carlsen

Socialise

Step out, meet people, talk to them!

Meeting people will let you know what others think,

what are your strengths and weaknesses, so that you

can work on it accordingly.

But remember, do what you think is right. Don’t

doubt your plans on the basis of what others say.

Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes and having fun!

- Mary Lou Cook

Explore

Go for a walk in the park, observe people’s behavior

in general, come up with crazy ideas!

The more you use your mind in an open space, more

chances of you coming up with better thoughts.

Creativity doesn’t wait for that perfect moment. It fashions its own perfect moments out of ordinary ones.

- Bruce Garrabrandt

Relax

Learn to breathe when out of ideas! Nothing good

comes out of a stressed mind.

Watch TV, listen to music, meditate. Do whatever you

like to get your mind to relax.

No space for doubts

Clear your mind. Make sure of what you want first

and have faith in your idea.

Creativity doesn’t stem up from an indecisive mind.

No space for doubts
