Be ready to navigate an ever-changing world where creative thinking isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. That’s our reality right now. And it will be intensive as we conceive creative measures to handle global issues and personal concerns.
Why Creativity? What does creativity do for you and why can’t you live without it? Creativity has a favorable effect on your life, happiness, health, growth, and yes, even your relationships. Here are three reasons to invite creativity into your life now
Life Enhancement:
Thinking creatively enhances your life and work and adds value to all aspects of living. It opens the door to adventure and exploration, filled with wonder and surprise. Open the doors that lead past your comfort zone into amazing new worlds that awe you and grow you at the same time.
Skill Development:
Creative thinking develops skills like muscles that you weren’t even aware you had in problem-solving and analytic thought. Creativity can increase your brain power and develop new pathways in your brain for even more creativity to flow.
Stress and Health:
Creative activity is a great stress reliever and mood enhancer. Remember being so absorbed in something you were working on, playing at, that other ‘stuff’ just drifted away? And although you worked hard, you felt relief and satisfaction.
And Creative thinking is sexy! We’re attracted to people who think outside of the box and shine brilliantly. The good news is that they are also attracted to us, our ideas, and our offerings.
Find diverse ways to support your ideas and remember that often the answers are not in a straight line or path and it’s worthwhile to follow them and discover where they lead.
The Why of Creativity matters a lot. I wrote a book on the How of Creativity, featuring an exclusive interview with Sir Richard Branson. https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/leading-innovation-creativity-and-enterprise-9781472925398/
