7 keys to become more CREATIVE

👇🏾 Read thread
Creativity can be learned or improved on, just like happiness.

I believe everybody is naturally creative, you just have to remove the habits and thoughts that are clogging your channels.
1. Remove external noise:

It is hard to get creative ideas when so many voices are jumbled up in your head.

Stop feeding your mind junk - avoid celebrity gossips, circular news, and be selective with the music you listen to.

Remember: garbage in, garbage out.
2. Remove self-doubt:

Be excited about your ideas.

Whether they sound idiotic, feel difficult or look impossible – it doesn’t f*king matter. Act on them!

Remember: you are not the only one with those ideas - if you don’t materialize them, someone else will. https://twitter.com/skantlee/status/1343605524361830401
3. Consume quality contents:

Whatever niche you choose, find 3-5 big players that have successful built a brand around it.

Learn from them without emulating them. Never compare the quality of your work with theirs.

Spend 20% of your time consuming, and 80% creating. https://twitter.com/skantlee/status/1343467841962565633
4 Learn a skill:

If you don’t have a pronounced talent, find a hobby or skill that interests you.

Practice passionately everyday, the mastery of it will become your talent. https://twitter.com/skantlee/status/1288596325320265728
5 Keep a journal close to you:

Develop the habit of writing down your ideas - it is a way of thanking your brain for coming up with the idea, and the brain in return will generate more ideas.

Inspiration can come anytime - eating, in the shower, even during sex.
6 Quit overthinking:

Eliminate unnecessary and useless thoughts from your psyche —

sports, celebrities, trends, politics, or gender roles debates —

basically anyone or anything that isn't improving you.

Remember: you become that which you constantly think about. https://twitter.com/skantlee/status/1332085774540541966
7 Learn to relax:

The more relaxed you are, the more creative you become.

Eliminate stress from your body (exercise) and mind (meditate).

To me creativity is a quality of mind.

Aim to bring that quality into everything you do, find new ways of performing your daily tasks. https://twitter.com/skantlee/status/1301135410119299072
2021 is the year you find a medium for self-expression.

If you can't do video, do audio.

If you can't do audio, write.

If you can't write, doodle.

If you can't doodle, start yodeling.
