Get Creative

Muslim Bayudi - Here are nine ways to get your creativity flowing.

1. Take a break.

But not just any break: break that affect creativity includes activities that require a fair amount of motion - but it is not too exciting as a walk or gardening, Schooler said.

2. A little sleep.

Nothing can prevent the crisis in the daytime with the words "I bosaaan", and the same thing can happen to you. "People are more productive and creative after a nap," Schooler said. A little sleep can help you resolve the problem where you can not do when awake. Why? Because your mind can run wild when you dream. But of course, for those of you who work in the office, must have special tricks that you can do this activity.

3. Meditation

If you do not have time to meditate, take a few minutes to calm your mind. According to a recent study in Frontiers in Psychology, meditation encourages creative thinking. "Relax and sit quietly, ideally with no touching the back of your chair, focus on your breath," Schooler said.

4. Make a little noise

Silence can actually "deafening" ears. According to recent research, said that working in an environment that is quite noisy help people become more productive and creative. Optimal noise level matching with a coffee shop, but if you can not work in Starbucks, go to your office canteen or just open the door of your work space. The key is to let your brain gets input from the uncertainty that is around you.

5. Go green

See green things will improve creative thinking, so says a study in Germany recently. Our brains associate the color with the nature and growth, spur innovation. All it takes is two seconds to see something green, so continue on staring at the plant.

6. Maximize your drive

Who knew there was another way to commute towards your job or department store your subscription. Changing your driving route towards a location will help increase your creativity, especially if you are accustomed to taking a big way that tends to dull, Schooler said.

7. Log out

Facebook or playing computer games will not make the brain to be more creative. "Many sites may be quite interesting entertainment," Schooler said. On appeal to do so, otherwise do doodling (drawing while daydreaming or while conversing or thinking about something).

8. Dreaming small

Close your eyes and imagine your future. What do you see? Well, to be more creative if you continue like this. "When people imagine themselves far in the future, it causes the mind to switch to a global way of thinking can be very useful," Schooler said. But imagine what would you eat for lunch you tomorrow does not count. Dreaming of a very distant future - such as five years or more - for best results.

9. Welcome drink

Time fun can bring you the best brainstorming. A recent study from the University of Illinois at Chicago found that people who are drunk (not in the sense of drunken stagger and fall), better able to solve the problems associated with the word. It turns out that a moderate amount of alcohol can help relax your focus, making it easier to think creatively. However, this does not necessarily fit into our culture, given the prohibition to consume alcohol.
