Have you ever felt like your imagination has dried up? Do you often feel stuck like you’re running out of creative ideas? There is creativity in everyone, it’s about learning to tap into it and using effective ways to unleash the expressions on the inside.1. Reading — Have you ever read something and an idea sparked up in front of you? Reading signs, quotes, novels, short stories, blog posts, articles and the like can help in the process of developing a project or story. Perhaps you may just see something that you can do in a unique way or from a different angle.2. Collecting pictures — The great thing about collecting pictures is that you can always go back and look at it over and over again. Inspirational pictures in your living room, kitchen, and office and just about anywhere you can go can be the stepping stone to a new invention, book, article and event. Memorable photos can turn into great scrapbooking projects and creative albums.3. Painting — You don’t have to be an artist to paint and explore the arts. Painting doesn’t only help you to release your creative abilities, but also is very therapeutic. Stroking with a paint brush can help release stress and therefore you can be able to think clearer and come up with more creative organisational methods and planning.4. Keeping a journal — Whether you’re free writing or creating a diary format, journaling can develop into stories which can then turn into books and plays. Let the words fall from the pen and seep into the pages. You never know what you could do with those written words even if it’s just for yourself.5. Observing — You may ask, how can I release my creativity by watching and looking around? There are many ways you can learn from just taking notice of your environment. Taking notice of your environment can be the inspiration for a new design, drawing, theme event or lesson and more. Look around and take notice of what’s around you.
