Think you’re “not the creative type”? Science says that’s a myth. Creativity isn’t a gift for the select few; it’s a skill that anyone can develop and perfect. The real driver behind business innovation isn’t a magical spark, but deliberate practice.
A recent article from Darden School of Business highlights that enhancing your personal creativity starts with self-awareness. Knowing yourself better allows you to recognize the new ideas your brain is constantly generating.
Ready to start building your creative muscle? Try these two powerful exercises from creativity consultant Julia Cameron:
- Morning Pages: Start your day with 30 minutes of stream-of-consciousness writing to clear your mind.
- Artist’s Date: Take yourself on a solo date to do something fun, simply because you’re drawn to it. This helps you observe your own reactions and unblock the mental censors that hinder divergent thinking.
Investing in your own creative skill set is an investment in your leadership and problem-solving abilities.
Which of these two exercises will you try this week to unlock your creative potential?
