Bo s you
Go for a walk
A recent study in 2014 suggests that people
tend to be more creative while they are
walking rather when they are not moving or
when sitting down. Regular physical activity
can also play an important role in boosting
your cognitive abilities, but this study found
that simple walking serves the same purpose
as it would temporarily improve certain
types of thinking. So get off chair and try
going for a quick walk around the
neighborhood, or go run some errands
outside your room, and see if inspiration
might strike.
Create psychological distances
Taking a break from a task when you have hit
a creative block could do the trick to
sparking up your creative senses again. One
experiment found that placing some
psychological distance between yourself
and the problem might also do the trick.
Researchers have found that when
participants imagined that a problem
originated from a far location versus a very
close one, they tended to solve more
problems and came up with more creative
solutions. Whenever you come across a
dif cult issue, picture the problem to be
distant and try to disconnect it from your
current situation and location.
DAY
In todays world which is lled with
technology, games, apps, social media,
people tend to always be busy and stuck
with a lot of work. However try letting
loose and get bored and daydream. In one
study, bored participants performed
better on creativity tests than those who
were elated, relaxed or distressed.
