30 Ways to Stay Creative

Need a bit of creativity today, feeling rather disappointed about not getting my article published. 

  1. Make lists
  2. Carry a notebook everywhere (inspiration is all around you)
  3. Try free writing (Create a character, a short story, a poem)
  4. Become more worldly
  5. Quit beating yourself up. (Yep. You. Stop it.)
  6. Take breaks (Stare out the window, walk away from the desk, get some fresh air)
  7. Sing in the shower (As loudly as you can)
  8. Drink coffee and tea (caffeine does amazing things)
  9. Know your roots (they are the foundation of who you are)
  10. Listen to music (Punk. Rock. Country. Pop. Classical)
  11. Be open (try it, you never know if you  make like it)
  12. Surround yourself with the creative (They can be your mentors)
  13. Get feedback (Ask why, when, where, how)
  14. Collaborate (Two minds can be better than one; teamwork)
  15. Don't give up (You will never get anywhere if you quit)
  16. Practice, Practice, Practice
  17. Make mistakes...
  18. Go somewhere new (take the back road, the long way, the one less traveled)
  19. Watch foreign films (culture!)
  20. Count your blessings (each and every one)
  21. Get lots of rest (What your dreams behold may be the window to creativity)
  22. Take Risks (go for it...)
  23. Break the rules 
  24. Do MORE of what makes you happy, LESS of what doesn't
  25. Don't force it (Step away, the break is something you may need)
  26. Step away from the computer
  27. Read a page from the dictionary
  28. Create a framework
  29. Stop trying to be someone else's perfect.
  30. Got and idea write it down!
