Boosting Creativity

Robinson suggested these ways to boost creativity:

* View yourself in a more light-hearted fashion, perhaps by thinking of your odd (but not ego-threatening) quirks.
* Adults develop habits that narrow the range of what they think is possible. Do something spontaneous, preferably every day.

Thinking About Creativity

Researchers Darya Zabelina and Michael Robinson of North Dakota State University (in Fargo), in an article in Psychology Today (August 2010) advocate applying a "childlike mind-set to our daily lives" in order to boost our creativity. Zabelina explained... "It's about giving yourself permission to explore and free time to play. It would not just increase your creativity — it would also motivate you to create."

Robinson suggested several ways to boost our creativity. Check back tomorrow for the first of these suggestions.
