Bogged down with reading materials? Papers? Maybe your job? Your everyday life can become a bit overwhelming and you don’t have enough brain power remaining to create some magic. Public relations demands for creativity on many levels, whether it’s critical thinking or creating content. So how do you maintain your existence as a magical unicorn and feed your imagination?
According to Inc.com, here are a few tips:
- Get off the internet. So much time is spent behind your phone, you’re missing out on inspiration that can be found in your surrounding environment.
- Make a list of 50 things to do. ALONE! Eliminate the possibility of other people criticizing your way of thinking. Sometimes it is appreciated, but it’s not always necessary.
- Immerse yourself in a different culture from your own. Draw from the sounds, feels and tastes of other cultures allowing you to cultivate diversity within your work.
- Take an improvisation class. Get a little crazy and force yourself out of your comfort zone. Improving will strengthen your ability to think on your feet. Remember, pressure makes diamonds.
- Meditate. Meditate. Researchers have found this to be a helpful practice and it only requires 12 minutes of your time. Quite relaxing, this method of focusing increases creativity through repetitive breathing techniques. Namaste every day.
- Take a nap. Kids have the wildest imaginations and it’s most likely due to the fact that they’re able to nap. Adults deserve this same leisure. Put your mind at ease and catch a couple of z’s. If you’re caught sleeping at work, just kindly say researchers have proven naps are needed for learning and creativity purposes.
