2019 - 09 - 25 - The 12 Pillars Of Creativity

I've always been fascinated by the creative process and probably a bit more about how some people can't seem to see their own creativity. Creativity and our ability to be creative and be productively creative can be strengthened. And this is huge for those of us who work in creative fields. I've been reading on the subject for years, boring academic papers that I won't bore you with, and I've been experimenting on myself as well. Below are my 12 pillars to creativity. And strengthening them can increase both our sense of creativity but our creative output as well. 1. Convergent and Divergent thinking 2. Having a strong purpose 3. Physical health 4. Skills and knowledge 5. Feeback and having a tolerance for failure 6. Routine 7. Our physical space 8. Incubation time 9. Curiosity and a tolerance for ambiguity 10. Motivation and ambition 11. Autonomy and the ability to make choices 12. Self-confidence and a supporting belief system
