Creativity Is Important In Your Daily Life

    Many people when they think of creativity they think of drawing, music, dancing, or even theater. Creativity can be used in many different ways, such as gardening, writing, problem solving, movie making, ect. We also use creativity in our daily life, most of the time we don't even realize we are using it. In most of our daily interactions we incorporate creativity. Creativity is what sets us apart from the rest of the world, it's what makes us stand out. Many people assume that creativity is something that is bestowed upon certain individuals. This is simply not true. Anyone can be creative with a little bit of effort. One simply needs to surround themselves with things that spark their creativity and also with things that challenge normal thinking.

         If you have trouble keeping the "creative juices" flowing, try to surrounding  yourself with things that inspire you. I find youtube.com to be a great place to find inspiration, there are so many different videos that vary in creativity. You can watch anything from scenery to talented artists, there is a plethora of creativity on that website. Whenever I am having a creative block, I always turn to youtube. Positive thinking is another way to keep the creative juices flow. When you think in a positive way you begin to open your mind to new and different ways of thinking. Positive thinking may seem like such an odd approach to creativity. Although for creativity, I believe you need to be in a passionate or joyful state of mind. In order to find that state of mind, positive thinking is key.

         Movement is a great way to be creative, in dance especially. In dance there is no limits to what you can do. You could create anything from a classical ballet piece or an abstract piece, to a crazy and colorful piece that has elastic bands going across the stage with dancers flying through the air. Anything is possible if you use your imagination.  Movement is one of the first forms of communication in one's life. From birth, baby's love to move, and express themselves in their movements. For instance, when baby's are happy they typically lay on their back and play with their feet. Young children are generally very clumsy, because they are still getting used to their body. That is why, while children are growing up, creative movement is such a wonderful tool. Creative movement is even useful for teens and adults, especially those that dance. Not only does it help them get comfortable in their own skin, but it also develops confidence. Creative movement is also a way for kids and adults to get to know themselves, while seeing connections to their surrounding world.

            Creativity is one of the most important traits a person can possess, what is so wonderful is everyone has this creativity trait. Sometimes as we grow into adulthood we forget how to explore and use our creativity. Creativity is such a sought after skill, that if you can learn to harness your creativity, you will be come a more valuable employee and a happier individual.
