1. Travel
Travelling expands the boundaries of consciousness. Even trips in your region and in your country show you how different people are, how different cultures are. And this experience helps you find creative solutions. After all, you can apply the information received while traveling in your work, when talking with friends, when meeting new people. We never know when exactly this or that information will be useful to us. In addition, travel helps to leave our problems at home, in the office, on your desktop and completely free your mind for the something new that you can only get on the road.
2. See things through the eyes of others
Try to doubt that you are always right and look at situations through the eyes of other people, for example, through the eyes of a child riding a bike downhill in the park, through the eyes of a woman who has just been offered a marriage proposal, through the eyes of a passer-by who is talking on the phone, through the eyes of a colleague, a friend’s wife, your spouse’s mother. This ability to look at the world through the eyes of others will help you appreciate completely different points of view when solving your problems.
3. Learn a foreign language
When you study a foreign language, along with the language you absorb a new culture, a different way of thinking, and the traditions and way of life of people who speak this language. Your world is getting wider. Remember, as the philosopher Zeno said, the larger the area of knowledge, the larger the area of ignorance. So, a foreign language helps to expand your boundaries of thinking. Give it a try.
4. Go outside the box
It is true that when you do something atypical and try something new, you begin to look differently at once-familiar things. It is as if you become bigger, stronger and more confident because you have gained a new experience. There is nothing more valuable than acquired practical experience in any matter, both professional and personal.
5. Create a creative environment
When we talk about the environment, we mean not only communicating with creative people, but also where everyone can share their experiences, their ideas, and projects. The environment can mean making a simple trip to a shop with creative and cosy items. Buy beautiful and interesting things for your home since what surrounds you influences your whole personality. Beautiful things also help you distance yourself from your problems and look at situations more optimistically.
