7 Answers To “How To Break Out of the Creative Rut?” + Golden Bonus

Be smart. Be creative. Be Yourself.

Most creative ideas are welcomed in this world with pointing fingers…

Creativity is what comes out from inside and stuns people. Creativity can not be induced but can only by sparked. It all about being yourself. Anything that say; that to be creative you must be intelligent is wrong. Creativity has nothing to do with intelligence. Even an average person can prove to be much more creative than the intelligent counterpart. A research shows that intelligence and creativity have no relation, if the I.Q level of a person passes the bar of 120. Creativity is ruined over time with actions like copying and idealizing too much. It kills your inner creative being and you run out of the out of the box ideas. Here are 7 answers to “How To Break Out of the Creative Rut?”: 1. Do not fear ambiguity When ever putting your creative to test this is the first issue that comes in place. We want things to make absolute sense. Making absolute sense about things destroys the original creativity and messes things up. Making 100% does not always help. Leaving ambiguities with a clever insight can give great advantages. You can have an upper hand over others. It makes you a great innovator  and you can create awesome ideas. 2. Never separate work and leisure Are you the one who believes in serious work during working hours and enjoying & partying during off time? Well you might need to rethink the process. Some great ideas spark while you relax, enjoy and party. Yes! If you want your creativity to be at its best, work and play at the same time. 3. Separate creativity and editing part When you are in a creative spree let your imagination roll. Take some writing material, grab your notebook, take anything where you can scribble and record all the creative bits that come to your mind. Scribble about your imagination as much you can. Viola! You have you rough draft. Now you can pick the best one and bring to use. You can always fadeout those, that don’t fit in. And believe it! You would have a lot of ideas to play with. Never create and edit at the same time. When you create and edit at the same time you tend to loose the flow of your imagination which in return restricts creativity. 4. Stop worrying about mistakes Committing mistakes is very human, so do not worry about them. If you would worry too much about the failure of your creativity, the greater chances are you would ruin the chances of your success. So let things go in the flow. It is best that you evaluate the consequences, both positive and negative. Greater chances are that the positive outcomes would outweigh the negative ones. If it so, do not refrain from bringing your creativity to life. 5. Always believe in yourself Love yourself. You are the best in what you do. Have firm belief in yourself. This is one of the greatest secret to awesome creativity and unmeasured success. Never let “I can’t do it” feeling surround you. There is nothing in this world that is impossible. All great ideas that revolutionized the world initially seemed crazy to the world. It was determination and believe in self that brought greatest invention in this world. 6. Don’t let people boo you Most creative ideas are welcomed in this world with pointing fingers. You might hear every other person advising you to be sensible and not act crazy. Listen to people but act upon what satisfies you. Taking too much advices suffocate creativity and you are felt with following the masses rather than bringing your dream to realization. Listen less to such people and when you succeed, they would a lot less to advice. 7. Putting a stop to the creative process When you start the creative process of solving any problems there are always chances you are led stray by your won thoughts. It happens that you start thinking over a problem and end up in dozens of more problems rather than thinking about the one at hand. Do not collect too much information, too much information can deviate the path. Always have enough information and put a clear mark on where to stop. Do pass that mark during you creative process or your might end up solving loads of other problems that the one that you had at hand. 8. Try Try Again- The Golden Bonus Accept failure but never quit. Learn from your mistakes. List down the aspects that made you idea fail. Tweak them and re-tweak these aspects until you reach you goal. Success is all about patience. Thomas Edison succeeded in his achieving his dream of making a light bulb after thousands of failed attempts. He said “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10000 ways that won’t work.”   If you have an inspiring story that can more people, write to us at csguru.blog [at] gmail [dot] com.
