Creativity: Unleash Your Creative Genius
When we think of creativity, most of us think of fine arts, musicians, and authors. But being creative isn’t just about oil paintings, sculptures, poems, and heart wrenching songs. Creativity is a key skill across almost everything we do. We rely on creativity to solve problems in our work lives as well as in our personal lives. From managing households to maintaining healthy relationships, all require creative, innovative thinking.
LinkedIn called creativity of the mind the most valuable “soft skill” in the world. Unfortunately, our high-tech, plug-and-play, and consumer focused culture tends to challenge our naturally creative minds. Each day, we face an endless stream of information and ideas. This makes it very difficult for us to find the kind of space that promotes our own creative thinking.
Many of us think of ourselves as uncreative, and we may even feel stuck in a rut, repeating the same old habits again and again. But creativity is within everyone’s reach.
The first step is to figure out why creative thinking matters to you. Are you an author, struggling to come up with a new idea? Are you an executive, trying to solve a business problem? Are you stuck in an unhealthy relationship or a poorly paying job, and looking for a way out? These are all situations that call for you being creative.
Whether you are looking for a creative solution to a personal problem or a business issue, this page contains articles that can help you find strategies to unleash your creativity.
