5 Interesting Ways To Boost Creativity
At every human’s core is the desire to create. Whether we want to admit it or not, we all want to be creators of our own world. We want to shape our realities and put things into the world that brings benefit to others. This is an essential part of wanting to feel part of something.
Humans are herd animals. We enjoy being part of the pack because it helps us feel safe and secure. This is why public speaking has to be taught in most cases. Our brains whilst in front of everyone staring at us is moving us into flight mode. It is telling us that the whole pack is looking at us, rather than us looking with the pack.
One of the main reasons why we are fearful to create is because of this very fact. Our creations, whatever they might be, can be interpreted and judged by our fellow humans. When we create something we are being vulnerable with ourselves and the people around us. However, if we can overcome this fear, we can become better creators.
Reading “Wired to Create” by Scott Barry Kaufman and Carolyn Gregoire has given me an insight into how we can become creators for ourselves before anyone else. I think the best creations come from those who enjoy the things they produce. They have a deep connection with their creative process and not only create for the benefits of others, but also themselves.
