2- Purposely make silly things. Dare to be silly. Try it and see what happens. You never know what will become of your creations when you purposely make them unusual or odd.

3-Take a nap to recharge your creativity battery

4-Ignore your inner critic You’re (in the shower, driving through town, washing the dishes, etc.) and are suddenly struck with an idea for some creative project you’d love to try. Within the next few minutes you experience a range of emotions and feelings that look something like this:

excited —> enthused —> motivated —> geared up —> ready to go!

But then you start thinking about the nuts and bolts of the project and why you should do it. Somewhere in there you even consider how other people will react to it. Your emotional / feeling landscape suddenly changes like this:

—> ready to go —> time and effort —> my skills are lacking —> is it really worthwhile —> what will people think …

5-Try something new It means sampling that weird food, touristing a different town, enrolling yourself in that pottery class.
