Do you want to get your creative juices flowing but feel uninspired? Sometimes — as depicted here — it’s best to step away from the task at hand when you need inspiration. Simply by taking a walk you can feel more innovative and energized. Getting away from technology and into nature can make you feel more relaxed and creative. Taking time to daydream and doodle also gives your brain a much needed break. Afterwards, you’re re-charged with new enthusiasm and new ideas. Don’t hesitate to ask other people for inspiration. As the saying goes, “Two heads are better than one” so calling a friend or talking to co-workers is always a valuable strategy. Brainstorming ideas (anything goes, not matter how awful) frees your mind and lets it go to places it normally wouldn’t. Our most creative notions often come from collaboration, not isolation. The tip — ask 3 people — reminds us that others often hold the key to liberating our minds and allowing new ideas to flourish.
