However, creativity is not just something we should explore when it comes to work and making money. It’s also something that is incredibly important to pursue our personal projects with the enthusiasm that will turn your ‘someday’ into ‘today.’
Here are some tips for you to follow that will help to reignite your creativity in order to accomplish your personal projects.
Make your environment comfortable and organised
When it comes to working from home one of the most important things that people need to factor in is the importance of setting up the right environment in order to maximise their productivity. This same principle applies when you’re working on your personal projects from home, too.
Decorate your environment with posters and items that are inspiring, yet not distracting. You need to make sure that there is little that will stop you from getting into that creative space.
Choose some works of art that will allow you to think about certain areas that you wish to focus your creativity on.
In short, your areas of creativity should not be bland and uninspiring, or so full of things that will make you feel distracted.
Fuel your creativity with music, sounds, and visuals
Creativity is deeply linked with the subconscious mind- where ideas come from inspiration.
We spend so much of our time working on things to make money that we forget how to relax and have fun. If you don’t take the time to do the things you enjoy and let your imagination run free while working then it’s highly likely that your creativity will suffer.
You can fuel your creative subconscious with things that were born out of creativity. You might want to hang works of art up with inspiring images that spark something in your subconscious, have some of your favourite books on a shelf that you can pick up and read.
If music is something that helps you to focus, consider setting up a Bluetooth speaker so that you can easily play your favourite inspirational tracks as you work on your project.
Spend more time on your creative pastime
Whatever your creative field, there is no doubt that you should spend the time being engaged in your creative pursuit in order to remain connected to that area.
If you’re trying to write a book, spend time writing. While it may not have much to do with the book you are writing the act of writing will spark creativity. If you’re a singer, spend time listening to and studying artists who sing the type of music that you enjoy singing, while enjoying music from other genres- for example listening to jazz if you’re an R&B artist which will help to diversify your inspiration.
They say that ‘insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result’. In order to stay creative, you should mix up your routine.
