If one day you are caught by an unexpected crisis of ideas, do not despair! Many people in creative professions have already gone through this and were able to build their creativity on their own.
Instructions
Step 1
Find creative stimulus.
Not every person can directly answer the question of what exactly inspires him. However, if you manage to find an incentive for creativity, then you will not have to wait for insight, because you can always spur your muse on your own.
Step 2
Surround yourself with perfection and beauty.
There is nothing wrong with drawing inspiration from other people's successful work. Feel free to explore masterpieces of music and painting, poetry and prose, and also try to chat with their authors. As Picasso said: "Good artists tend to copy!"
Step 3
Constantly try yourself in new business.
Don't worry about failure, for example, in painting. Perhaps a real poet is slumbering in you! You risk never knowing if you stop expanding your creativity.
Step 4
Combine the incompatible.
Nowadays, you can safely grow and develop creatively in several areas of life at once. History remembers examples of successful athletes who later went into business or politics, as well as politicians who are fond of writing or painting in their free time.
Step 5
Don't confuse entertainment with creativity.
It is worthwhile to clearly distinguish between the concepts of "waste of time" and "creative work". Don't let yourself get lost in wasting time like watching TV or reading entertaining articles. You should be honest with yourself, admitting that you will not find a source of inspiration in such things, and turn to other, more creative things.
Step 6
Pay attention to your health.
Agree that even a day of intense, tortured work will hardly be more fruitful than a couple of hours of inspired work. Be sure to take short breaks in pursuit of the muse, and also follow the signals of your body: if it is very tired and needs a break, you should not be hindered.
Step 7
Ignore detractors, but listen to criticism.
When expressing yourself, do not forget that you bring to the general judgment not only your creativity, but also your point of view, and therefore yourself. Do not let a barrage of criticism trample you, listen half-heartedly, skillfully weeding out the remarks of ill-wishers and fair remarks.
