Staying Creative

I borrowed this list from

Though I do not use all of these personally, I think it useful for those who may need it.
Do you have any thought or ideas on how to stay creative? Share them with me.


Make lists

Carry a notebook/sketchbook everywhere

Get away from the computer

Quit beating yourself up

Take breaks

Sing in the shower

Drink coffee

Know your roots

Ask "What if …?"

Constantly risk absurdity

Listen to new music

Rock the boat

Surround yourself with creative people

Get feedback

Collaborate

Don't give up

Practice, practice, practice

Make mistakes on purpose

Go somewhere new

Watch foreign films

Break the rules

Start a gratitude list

Get lots of rest

Take risks

Write your own myth

Do more of what makes you happy

Don't push the river

Read a page of the dictionary

Stop trying to be someone else's perfect

Got an idea? Write it down

Clean your workspace

Have fun

Learn something new

Create reckless juxtapositions

Make a visual pinboard

Finish something

Take a walk

Get curious

Don't ask – "What's it for?" "Who will like it?" or "Who will buy it?"

Be kind to yourself

...and if I may add a couple things:
Go look at art; go to an art reception; go to an art gallery; go to an art museum (or other museum). I find looking at an exhibition sparks new ideas and inspiration.

Go check out an artist group or guild in your area. There are lots of creative people in groups such as these.
