How can you be the next Einstein by implementing this Twenty minutes strategy to become more creatively wacky in life?

People seem to have the misconception that only a select few are able to unleash a steady flow of creative genius. That is totally absurd. The fact is, creativity is very much like a muscle that needs to be exercised in order to consistently give out great results. If you don’t practice harnessing creative thinking, this skill will very much atrophy into inexistence. But keep working and this skill will soon come to you in a snap.

So how do you unleash your creative thinking? Well, the first thing is to become a human leech. No, we’re not talking about just sucking the blood out of every living being available, we’re saying that you should take in as much knowledge and learning you can find. Read everything available — good and bad, and keep your mind open like a dry sponge waiting to soak up the essence of the good stuff you have read. The more you know, the more you’ll want to know, and the more your faculty of wonder will be exercised. The most creative people I have known are great readers.

Focus on a creative activity everyday. Yes, it’s an effort. Even doodling is a creative activity. Don’t let anything hinder you. Mindlessness may be a creative activity, but for people who are just starting out to unleash a little bit of creative thinking in their lives, it is helpful and encouraging to have concrete evidence, that, «hey, what I’m doing is getting somewhere.» So why don’t you try it. Practice drawing for a couple of minutes each day. Bring out your old camera and start snapping photos like crazy. Keep a journal and make a point to write in it religiously. Another cool idea is to write by describing something with your five senses. Try to avoid vague adjectives like «marvelous,» «amazing,» and «delicious.» Before you know it, you’ll have built yourself a tiny portfolio, and you’ll be amazed at the growth you’ve undertaken after amassing all those works of art. Who knows, you might actually take to liking those things you do everyday. Pretty soon those things will become a part of you and you’ll be addicted to these creative exercises.

Think out of the box — or don’t. Sometimes, constraints are actually a good thing. Limitations discipline you to work within your means. It enables you to be more resourceful. Creative freedom is great, but limitations enforce discipline.

Try something-new everyday and let your experiences broaden your perspective. Read books that you normally don’t read. Give seminars a try. Seminars are beaming with positive and energetic people. Meet and talk to new people. They will broaden your perspective, adds depth to your knowledge database as well. Go a step even further by participating in team events. A powerful team event is a Mastermind group. Great thinkers and achievers have the habit of coming together to exchange and share their knowledge and experiences. Synergy breeds the sparking of new ideas and breakthroughs in life and business. And you are just one step away from thinking at 100 miles per hour.

Remember being creative does not take a good deal of work and time. It can be learned. Remember, also, that it is not about just you. It is about you and the people around you.

Start now. Take your stand and be creative today. Be the next Einstein in the making.
