 Actors, artists, rock stars, and writers have the ability to touch us on not only a personal scale, but a global scale as well. We see these people on TV and on our bookshelves, in the movie theaters and in the grocery stores. But what makes them so special? Creativity. Creative people rule the world, whether it's being media icons or designing the sleek new products we see and use every day. We love creative people and we want to know all their secrets. If you want to produce music like Kanye or paint like Picasso, here are 10 psychological tips from creative people. 1. Integrate Art. Creative people are very vocal about the importance of exposing oneself to art. By integrating art into your life, your brain starts to reflect on it. This trains you to look for meaning, messages, metaphor, and other important information everywhere. Another benefit to looking at art is that you gain inspiration for your own art. Although watching music videos might not seem beneficial, it can give you the many ideas to work from. 2. Ask Questions. Creative people ask a lot of questions. What ifs and whys create a climate of curiosity? It's through this curiosity that creative people are able to make connections, gather information, and develop opinions. Go ahead. Ask more questions and watch the creative ideas flow. 3. Work with your productivity. Most people get stuck in a routine, but is this the routine that's most effective for you? Creative people know when they're most productive and they work with it, not against themselves. By embracing the schedules their bodies want to follow, they're able to increase their productivity. You might even find you'll get more leisure time out of it, too. Did you know that how you get your energy can also affect your creativity? Check out this video to find out why the most creative people tend to be both introverted and extroverted. 4. Express Your Ideas. Even if they seem silly at first, creative people follow their ideas. They don't judge a piece until after it's complete or after it's been discussed. The more you express your ideas, the easier you'll have access to them, too. In the future, ideas will come more naturally and you'll be quick on the draw for any brainstorming sessions at work. 5. Go on Adventures. You miss out on life if you don't go on adventures and see the world. Creative people embrace the new. They love different experiences and sensations because thrill-seeking allows them to explore and create possibilities for themselves and others. Being open is such an important factor. Creativity has to be free in order to sustain, not boxed up and shut away. 6. Be an Observer. It's important to also step back and observe the adventures you have. Observers get to take in everything and through that receptivity, they develop unique and rich opinions. Observe your surroundings in everyday life, too. There's plenty of opportunities in the world. Only through observation do we find them, though. 7. Practice Mindfulness. Mindfulness might sound like a buzzword nowadays, but it's actually really good for you. When you're being mindful of yourself and the world around you, you can bring more positive energy and calm into your life. Honesty becomes easier. So does breaking old, unwanted habits. Mindfulness also helps you achieve a greater attunement to yourself, which means you'll be able to play your strengths more. 8. Embrace Risk. Risk is the driving force of a creative person, and it gets great results. Often, people who risk a lot fail a lot, too. However, the more desensitized a person gets to failing, the more they're willing to risk. This gives them the courage to explore their ideas and express the things they want to say. Creative people learned this long ago and embraced the risk equals reward scale. 9. Day Dream. Just because you're not on task doesn't mean your brain is inactive. By daydreaming, you're engaging different parts of your consciousness while letting your subconscious deal with their real problems. Daydreaming is also a great way to come up with creative ideas and situations that you might not otherwise give yourself permission to think about. It's like going on an adventure, but in your mind. 10. Create. When you get right down to it, creative people create. They create experimental work, successful work, and a lot of failed work, but they keep going. They know that the only way to go farther in their work is to create more of that work, and that's a lesson we all can learn. The more we do, the farther we'll go. Who knows? Maybe you'll be the next research scientist making big breakthroughs in saving lives. So what are you waiting for? Take the risk. Which tips help you be the most creative?
