Tired of your creativity lying on the ground like a dried up tomato? Perhaps you have sat at a blank page for hours, praying for inspiration to strike, or perhaps you have encountered a roadblock that simply isn’t moving. Whether you’re a writer, artist or entrepreneur, or even someone simply looking for ideas to flow outside of the box, we’ve all been through it — ideas aren’t flowing.

With effortless, actionable steps that require no special talent, skill or resources, in 7 days you can get back in touch with your creative vibes and feeling normal.

In this article, I am going to share with you 7 techniques you can use to unleash your creativity today. These are techniques that I have personally utilized to smash the walls of creativity, and I believe they will work for you too. Ready to get started?

The Power Action: Change Your Environment.

A great way to stimulate more creativity is to step out of your environment. Our brains tend to fall into ruts, and they are trained on the same sights, sounds and patterns when we’re exposed to them over and over again. A change of scenery can also help reset your mind and introduce new stimuli to inspire new ideas.

It doesn’t need to be an overhaul — simply working in a different room, taking a walk outside or changing up your workspace can make a world of difference. The trick is to find some way to escape your own domicile and see new sights and experience new things.

Day 2: Freewriting

One surefire way to spark inspiration is by allowing your brain to roam free. That’s why freewriting is so useful — set a timer for 10-15 minutes and just let your brain flow. We’re not worried about grammar or structure or making sense. Simply write your thoughts down with no concern for syntax or grammar.

Freewriting allows you to avoid your internal editor, the voice that constantly tells you your ideas aren’t good enough. It tunes you out of with the ordinary and into your subconscious mind. After several days of freewriting, you may begin to see underlying themes and ideas that can build into something much more substantial.

Day 3: Creative Constraints

It may seem counterintuitive, but one of the surest ways to unlock your creativity is to limit it. These constraints encourage your mind to explore novel pathways to creativity. For instance: Write a poem in five words or design a program in two colors only.

Individual rules like these help you think differently and lead to unexpected solutions. By limiting what you can do, you open up a new freedom when it comes to creating.

Day 4: Meditative Moments

Your brain needs rest, too. There is a lot of research about lowering stress, and sometimes creativity doesn’t come from working harder, but from letting your mind be quiet. Using meditative practices can help clear your mind and reset your state of mind to allow new ideas to flow in.

Attempt to include brief meditative pauses in your day. This might be a few moments of mindful breaths, a short nature walk, or even a guided meditation. When you relax your mind, you allow it space to make new connections and to generate creative ideas.

DAY 5: WORK WITH STRANGERS

Creativity can springboard from collaboration. The second you partner with someone new, particularly somebody outside your area or control, you give yourself to the unimaginable. That can yield thrilling and surprising bursts of creativity.

Get in touch with someone from outside your regular peeps — a fellow artist, writer, or even someone in a totally different field, But exchange ideas, brainstorm together and see where the conversation goes. Sometimes all it takes to ignite new inspiration is getting out of your own head and hearing someone else’s views on a subject.

Day 6: Allow Yourself to Have “Bad” Ideas

Fear of “bad” ideas is also one of the biggest barriers to creativity. But here’s the reality: every great idea was once a “bad” idea. When you give yourself permission to fail and play, you are exploring creativity.

Don’t be too critical of your ideas — welcome them, however odd or impractical they may be. If you let yourself go down the path of thinking about “bad” ideas, who knows, the next great idea that leads you in a whole new direction might just be hiding in there. It’s all part of the creative process.

Day 7: Routine Reboot

And if you’ve been feeling stuck, it may be time to restart your routine. The routines we are open to getting stuck in also kill creativity. Consider trying a new (working) schedule or mixing up your activities throughout the day. Consider waking up an hour earlier to pursue your creative projects; or try going to bed a little later to spend some time at night thinking about your day.

Making little variations to your daily routine can jolt you out of complacency and create a mental environment conducive to the spontaneous generation of artistic ideas.

Conclusion:

Creativity doesn’t come to everyone easily when you implement these simple techniques for just 7 days, you will see a massive improvement in your thought process and creation. Note: consistency is the key to unwrapping your creativity. Continue working on these techniques, and before long, you’ll be surprised at all the new ideas you can generate.
