5 Tips For Creating Creativity

Guest post by: Craig Raphael

Article Overview: Writing articles is not a lot more than writing down thoughts about certain topics. You have to maintain the interest of the reader among the "network" of competition and entertain them. Understanding their wants, needs, and interests won't hurt anything either. Creativity is the best way to do this and can be defined differently by personal preference. If one becomes troubled with being creative, you risk losing that potential subscriber, sale, partner... whatever. Painting the picture in the readers mind with your words is not an easy task. I put together a few things that have helped me keep the creativity door from slamming in my face.

5 Tips For Creating Creativity

1. Be prepared

When it comes to writing , one can find themselves at the pique of their creativity level at inconvenient times when , if you are not prepared , that creative thought/ideal that you had is long gone.I believe that keeping a diary or journal with you. Perhaps a voice recorder will work well. Your ideas can be triggered by too many things at too many times to NOT have something to put it down on AT THAT MOMENT! Seems extreme but do you remember those times when you had very vivid dreams about something but when you wake up and have to recall them , you can't? Same thing here.You can borrow an idea or perhaps read something to trigger you. Keep a diary or journal with you at all times for future reference. A "rolodex" of ideas and thoughts. This is a worthwhile thing to do.

2. Take a deep breath

Take a deep breath and believe that everything is gonna be fine! If you are stressed or freaked out over one thing , it is alot harder to focus on the other. Cluttered minds lead to cluttered ideas. Get your ducks in a row and be professional about it.

3. Find somewhere inspiring and go there!

If you can either find or create a working environment that will enlighten or motivate you , do everything in your power to do so. I live on the beach in Oregon and the Pacific Ocean. I go down to the beach , watch the sunset , listen to the waves and enjoy the view. Thoughts almost always enter my mind and what do I do?I record them on my voice recorder and when I have the time , I make them an article , report....research it , whatever it is. So , make it a priority to enhance your surroundings in order to enhance your ideas.

4. Be the ball

You are in control here. Mind over matter. Examine all possibilities of clearing your mind to write good content. I consider this like the "BowFlex Machine" of practicing relaxation. Just a little time a day and doing the things we've already mentioned , one can accomplish a lot of content and ideas.Dictate your direction and stay focused. Remember the big picture here. Treat your online efforts like a career and you get career results. Treat it like a hobby and, just like the lottery here and there, you might make some sales. You get out what you put in and it takes consistency and persistence.

5. Jump out of the comfort zone

One good way to change the pathways of your blocked or uncreative mind is to do things out of the ordinary. Be more free spirited and change up your daily routine in simple ways. Different streets to the bank , take the long way home , take the back roads... just change it up. Changing the scenery changes the perception. Your mind can "wonder" or "stray" with unroutine events.Obviously , I believe that ALL writers deal with writers block and that we ALL probably deal with it differently. I was curious and decided to write this article. A common ground that we all share and understand each other , even if we are fierce competitors. Sleep comes to mind here for me also. Rest is a great way to clear your mind. That's a tough one for me and hopefully easier for you. It is a fact though.

I'm just wondering if there's anyone out there that has done this and thinks it's beneficial.
