“Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.” - George Bernard ShawDifficult times often lead to great innovations - after all, necessity is the mother of invention! So, if you are feeling the pinch in your purse, NOW is the time to capitalise on your creativity!
1. Embrace Your Inner Grouch
It's hard to stay upbeat when your penny-pinching bosses are counting paper clips and coffee grains, but here's some good news: workplace discontent may just be a vast, untapped source of creativity.
2. Let Your Mind Wander
A wandering mind may allow your brain to search more widely for connections that could trigger a "eureka" moment!
3. Play An Music Instrument
Music may provide more than just a brief respite from life's stresses – it may help you to think with both sides of your brain at once.
4. Colour Your World Blue
It may be nothing more than an association with big skies and the open seas, but beholding the colour blue makes you more creative.
5. Seek Out Creative Company
The best ideas are forged not in moments of solitary genius, but during exchanges with trusted colleagues or friends.
6. Live Abroad
The idea that living abroad spurs creativity has been in the popular psyche for eons – and now science backs up the idea.
7. Be More Playful
When times get tough, many people turn serious, but some researchers believe that horsing around may be better in the long run than hunkering down.
8. Raise A Glass
Many of the most creative pursuits – jazz, for instance, and poetry – are associated with heavy boozing, but can a drink or two really help?
"Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower!" - Steve Jobs
