We are in the home stretch of this series on unlocking your creativity. Hopefully, you have noticed a surge in your creative juices. Once you learn how to unlock your creativity, it makes it easy to tap into it whenever you need a creative burst. Here is the final tip in the series.

10) Do something routine – Many people find that creative ideas happen when they are engaged in routine activities – like showering, exercising, driving, or cleaning. When you hit a creative block, change your activity and try doing something routine. Give your mind a rest and get lost in the activity… before you know it your thoughts and ideas will start flowing again.

Remember that no matter how stuck you feel in the moment, you do have creative potential and with a little gentle persuasion you can coax your creative mind out of hiding. You cannot, however, force creativity. In fact the more you try to force it, the less creative you will be. The key is to be gentle, relax, and let your thoughts flow freely. Get in the habit of using these 10 ways to unlock your creative mind and then be ready to capture your creative impulses in the moment by carrying a notebook or digital recorder with you. You will be amazed by your ability to create and innovate!

Let me know your progress by leaving a comment here. I’d love to hear how these tips have worked for you.

Until next month…
