Hello there! Have you ever struggled with creative juices that don’t want to flow any time soon? Did you consider it a problem with meet single girl? Have you ever wanted to change your profession to make it somewhat more creative? There is no need, of course, to change your life black to white if you are a type A person. But if you occasionally struggle with important things that lack uniqueness, here are some ways to boost your creativity:

Make a photoshoot of an inanimate object

Try to use your imagination at the maximum. Sometimes even the most trivial things can be presented quite extraordinary. The most important step is to get away from usual standards that may clog your creativity like a pipe. Be your own plumber. Capture your favorite book or mug, but maybe you’ll have some other ideas. Anyway, this approach is much effective.

Try on six hats

Sure, not in a literal sense. The six hats method is a technique of organized thinking developed by the English psychologist Edward De Bono, which helps us look at the same situation from 6 different points of view. The white hat represents attentiveness: what about the informational point of view, numbers, statistics? The black hat represents all possible drawbacks: what can go wrong? The yellow one represents highlighting the benefits: what are the prospects and advantages? The green hat symbolizes creativity, ideas and the search for alternative solutions to the problem: how to break down stereotypes and make a non-standard solution? Red represents emotionality: how will I feel after making a decision, what does my intuition tell me? Blue is the analysis of the results: what do I get in the end? The six hats method helps with evaluating the effectiveness of new, unusual ideas when you need to calculate all the risks and look at the situation from different angles.

Read books from the last page

Sure, all the spoiler haters will be absolutely enraged with this idea. But some books are so unpredictable; you can hardly guess what was happening half through the novel, judging by the end of it. But your brain will generate a crazy amount of ideas, trying to solve some mysteries. It will help you obtain and develop abstract thinking and train your mental flexibility. Maybe you will notice that your own version is so much better than the original!

Look for adjectives

Close your eyes and think about one object nearby. Try to describe it, using as many adjectives as you can (if you start to run out of ideas, just invent). It will train your literacy and imagination.

Ask yourself random questions

And no, it’s not a sign of schizophrenia. Ask yourself “If I wrote a book, what will it be about?” or “If I started a rock band, who would I invite?”. Try to analyze why you picked this answer. Maybe you will find some unexpected solutions or even long-lost life plans. It is even better to share words of wisdom with your friends or family to evaluate the level of probability of your ideas coming to life.
