If you don't see yourself as a creative person but would like to, maybe all you need is a spark of inspiration. This video tutorial suggests several ways you might try to kindle that spark.
How to be creative. There is no right or wrong when it comes to being creative. Creativity is all about being unique and being true to yourself and doing something that really moves you.
There's no right or wrong. You could be right. You could be walking; you could be riding a bike; you could even be singing or playing a tune.
You could be doing anything. But how to actually tap in and be creative yourself? First things first. You need to actually make some room for your creativity.
Set aside some time to sit down and look at your daily schedule so you've got some time to actually do something that's creative and means something to you. And then, you can. The idea of being creative is to come up with lots of different ideas.
So, what you could do? You could do some word association games. You could actually make some mood boards. Find out what it is that actually moves you.
And if you're still unsure about how to actually be creative, open a book randomly and look at the first thing that jumps out to you. From then, get a blank piece of paper and write down what it is, the first thing that came to you, and then see if you can make up a story. See if you can make up a song.
Do something that actually ignites your creativity. The idea is not to restrict yourself. If you're still unsure, look at what other creative people are doing, people that inspire you.
Look at what they're doing and see what makes them tick, and then perhaps, not so much copy them, but replicate some of what they're doing and move it a step forward but have fun. You know, ideas come to you when you least expect them to, so perhaps make a change to your routine. If you usually get the bus to work, get on the train.
See what new things you can see out there and then make some notes and start thinking of sort of creative ideas to actually enhance yourself. Just enjoy being creative. There's no right or wrong answer about being creative, but there's so much going on out there, from looking on the internet to going for a walk in the park.
So, just do what you want to do and have fun with the process.
