Some people are just more creative than others, it’s true. Yet, everyone is unique and can be original and inventive in their own way. Your creativity is inside you now. Perhaps it’s just waiting for you to tap into it.
Try some of these strategies for 30 minutes each day to rediscover your creativity and let it loose:
- Tune into your childhood activities. Did you have an active imagination? Maybe you pretended you were a teacher or a doctor. Perhaps you played as if you were the greatest skateboarder in the world. Trying on different personas is a good way to show your creativity.
- Right now, imagine yourself as the best worker at your job. How would you look, dress, and behave? What would you say to others? How would you relate?
- In The Success Principles, Jack Canfield tells us that visualizing your goal every day is one of the most vital things you can do to achieve it. Canfield gives us many good reasons why this is true. It activates the subconscious and conscious mind to attract the people and resources you need to achieve the future you see.
- Follow the advice of Jack Canfield and visualize that you’re the best at something for at least 10 minutes each day.
- What are you good at? For the next 10, 20, or 30 minutes, consider your various skills, talents, and knowledge base. Then pick one skill to focus on. What makes you good at this particular ability?
-
- Maybe you think you’re excellent when it comes to following instructions. You listen well. You pay attention. You quickly pick up on what’s expected of you.
- Perhaps you’re intrinsically motivated, which means you’re internally motivated to complete a job to the desired specifications.
- When you know what you’re good at, you feel confident. And when you’re confident, you’re not afraid to try new things and experiment. Learning and experimenting is how we develop creativity.

- Let your mind fantasize about something in your life. Maybe you’d love to buy the big house on the corner or maybe you want a little red convertible for your next summer road trip. Or, do you yearn for the experience of a serious love relationship? When your desire is clear, make yourself comfortable and set a timer for 30 minutes.
- Imagine walking through the front door of your dream house, running your hands along the polished rail as you walk up the stairs.
Walk into your bedroom and kick off your shoes. What does the carpet feel like on your feet? What does your furniture look like? What color are the curtains, the spread, and the carpet. - Imagine you are on your summer road trip, the wind is blowing through your hair, the sun is shining down, and the car still has that new car smell. Watch the scenery go by.
- Imagine you are walking hand-in-hand with the love of your life. Every time your eyes meet, you both break out into a wide smile and you know this is feeling of true love will last forever.

- Carry a written copy of your top 3 life goals with you. When you write your goals, you are ten times more likely to accomplish them. When you carry them, you can easily review, stay on track, and check them off the list when they are done.
- Identify someone you like or respect very much. Spend time thinking about this individual. What is it about them you like? How can you be more like them? Pick one characteristic you’ll work on emulating for the next month. For example, if you like John at work because he smiles all the time and seems to consistently be in a good mood, perhaps you can begin to behave in the same ways.Trying on new personal characteristics allows you to stretch yourself creatively to see what you can do.
- Experiment with a new creative activity. We cultivate our creativity by engaging in creative endeavors. So, buy a block of clay, a jewelry-making kit, or some paints and canvases at your local arts and crafts store and have at it.
- You’ll likely end up spending over a half-hour daily on your new pursuit. But, that’s okay because you’re expanding your mind along with your skills.
- If you’re feeling timid and unsure about how to start, sign up for a beginning art class just to see what happens. Working with your hands and mind together opens up new avenues and can get your creative juices flowing.
Giving yourself permission to dream and reach for your desired goals enhances your ability to ponder how you can achieve them. You hold the creative keys to pursue those goals however you choose. Let your mind run free with it. Think about these questions: what can you do today, tomorrow, next week, and next month to go after what you want?
