Innovative and creative people are the wave of the future. Being creative means coming up with new ways to do something. It means having fun and tapping into that inner child. I love to create and when my creative juices are flowing, there’s no stopping me! That’s why, when I’m stuck in a non-creative rut, I feel frustrated and unhappy. Do you ever get stuck in creative ruts as well? If you do, save this post somewhere on your computer because it might help for those moments. This post will teach you some research-backed ways to get you out of that creative rut and boost your creativity. Read on and remember that creativity is important.
Get Bored- According to one study, you might feel that jolt of creative energy when your doing the most mundane tasks. Your brain finds these tasks boring. These are the moments where you tend to daydream. Your mind wanders off and you find yourself in the middle of a creativity boost. Ever happen to you?
Drink Some Wine- Apparently, a little bit of vino goes a long way when it comes to creative thought. According to another study, people with some alcohol in their system were better able to perform creative tasks then those without. So pour yourself a glass of wine to get out of that creative rut.
Stretch Your Legs- Standing is another way to get those creative juices flowing, one study suggests. This study is all about the brainstorming process. Standing over sitting gets people excited, according to the study. People are more willing to share ideas when their on their feet.
Be A Little Messy- Students at the University of Minnesota were more prone to creative thought when their space was disordered and messy. I usually like to work in a neat and clean environment, but whatever helps, I guess!
