Revisit
Your Childhood
As
a child most of didn’t care about what we did. We didn’t care about what we
looked like, our success, or anything in that nature. All we really cared about
was having fun and being creative. That’s exactly how we should all be when it
comes to our creativity. The problem is that many of us become more logical as
we get older. Which is okay because it’s normal, it’s all part of becoming an
adult. Our Judgment is important but if it comes in too early it can hinder our
creativity. The best way to overcome this problem is to think less. Put
yourself in the shoes of when you were a child. Think about the reactions and
emotions you had about creating something. When we think less were able to
create more than judging our actions. When we revisit our childhood we’re able
to become inspired and excited.
When
I was a child I would say that my favorite thing in the world was playing with
Legos. I loved being able to create and build things from my imagination. There
was no plan or guide to help me during this process. I guess I would say that
all my ideas were driven from my enthusiasm. In a way this is exactly how we
should approach our creative thinking. We should be excited about what we’re
creating. And think less about the outcome; sometimes our greatest ideas come
from this approach. A good exercise for this is to draw on a piece of paper
with your eyes closed. This will train you to think less so you cannot make any
judgments until the drawing is finished.
