With this in mind, we've separated 3 tips that can be useful in your creative process or in its absence.

How to be more creative - 1) REST:

Creative people also tend to be productive people. However, just like in physical activities, the body needs rest to recover and be ready for the next exercise.

So, start considering rest as productive, not lazy. In this regard, many people end up not being able to enjoy this relaxing moment because they are constantly thinking about results.

How to be more creative - 2) TRY NEW PATHS:

It's very common for us to follow a linear creative path, even to save more energy during the process, which doesn't make us less creative. This can be considered as traits of personalities and habits.

If you could go back a little earlier, when techniques and experiences were not yet part of your body and intellect, you would probably realize that all paths were plausible, as they presented new possibilities and served as a door to explore the unknown.

In short, it would be an invitation to let go of habits and allow yourself to make mistakes and discover new techniques and ways to express your art and be creative.

How to be more creative - 3) FOCUS

You'll hardly be able to stay focused with the countless stimuli happening around you and in the palm of your hand. Focusing becomes an almost impossible task if every 10 minutes you check your social media, browse through countless stories, and sign up for super interesting courses that the algorithm threw into your feed. In other words, what's happening is good old procrastination and the addiction to "immediate gratification" which will later turn into frustration.

Fortunately, there are simple techniques like the "Pomodoro" method, which can help you on restless days. The technique consists of dividing your work time with rest time, in order to boost your focus and productivity. You can try the technique right here.
