Ways To Stay Creative

Simple steps to activate your right hemisphere.

1. Make lists

Lists keep us accountable and create systematic ways to track how our time is spent. Before bed jot down a list of tasks to accomplish the next day. It is our daily habits that add up to massive change. Using a method to track tasks help to plan our long and short term goals.

2. Take a class

When I first moved to LA, I had coffee meetings with entraprenuours and people in fields I knew little about. I took Improv classes and used those skills to better my networking capacity and ability to be outgoing and fearless. I took hip hop dance classes to build confidence.

3. Read new genres

Its amazing how exposure to different types of writing can impact your own style and vocabulary. In the world of social media, being a wit-smart writer is valuable. Good writing often begins with being well read and educated on an array of subjects.

4. Keep a journal

"Morning pages" is an immensely powerful tool developed by Julie Cameron. The idea is every morning, spend time writing whatever comes to mind. No thinking needed, just let it flow. Make this a morning ritual and watch your relationship with yourself blossom.

5. Update your look

It's pretty fascinating that sometimes all we need is a fresh perspective of ourselves tp push out of our comfort zone. Embrace your uniqueness and try something new.

6. Travel

Last but not least, travel will always change your view of the world. Seek out opportunities to travel whenever you can! “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”― Mark Twain
