7 Critical Steps to Unlocking the Creative Genius In you

Being a creative person does not require a degree from any art school, It doesn’t even mean you have to be the next Leonardo Da Vinci, neither do you need to know how to draw or paint.

Below we have seven ways with which you can bring out that creative person in you.

1. Make a list of ideas, choose the worst one: Take a risk on the idea that sounds terrible. It just might be exactly what you need.

2. Doodle while daydreaming: it is not surprising that ideas come to us when we least expect them, especially when we brainstorm or daydream.

3. Take a walk: walking tends to boost creative thinking. Your mind roams free when you get moving.

4. Reset your goals: forget your previous decision and ask yourself “what do I really want?”

5. Focus: Focus on one thing not everything, and be a master in it.

6. Unplug: put aside all gadgets, switch off your phones and hide your laptop under the bed. Clear your head of all worries and addiction to social media.

7. Question everything: the Yorubas say the person who asks questions never misses his/her way. Ask as many questions as they come to your mind, sound dumb even. Bottom line is that you’d learn something new.

Creativity simply means that you know how to think outside the box. You are the guy/girl that takes the risk, you are bold, brave and courageous enough to stand out. If you have gotten to this stage in your life you, my friend, are officially a creative genius.
