30 Ideas How to Become a More Creative Person

In today's blog post I want to share with you my ideas and tips on how to become a more creative person and develop your skills and potential. We all are born with different talents and abilities, but not all of us always develop them and even know about them. But by asking ourselves the right questions - we can know ourselves better and unlock our potential.

Who is a creative person?

I think an artistic and creative person creates something sincerely, with passion and soul. I think anyone can call himself a creative person because the boundaries of art are blurred. Anything can be art if you think about it.

What is creativity?

Creativity is, first of all, the ability of a person to find a special, unique look at familiar and everyday things. This ability is directly dependent on the breadth of the mindset of a person. The more person knows - the easier it is for him to look at the usual things from different angles.

The first creativity rule

The first rule you need to follow to become a creative person - is to identify yourself as a creative person. I, know! It is the simplest rule ever, but I truly believe this is the most important part because it all starts with your mindset. A creative person is constantly creating and striving to learn more about the world, cultures, books, creators, authors, art.

Simple assignment to become a more creative person

On a piece of paper, write what you like to do. Then analyze and scale each thing on a ten-point scale. Determine the activities that scored the most points.
