Imagine that you are at an unexpected meeting with your manager and asked you to put new ideas to develop your business, but you have to think outside the box; did not you hear that sentence too much? Have you ever been asked to think outside the box? Giovanni Corraza stands at the TEDEX theater and wonders: Have we ever thought about the fund? What is outside? Is it meant to wait for the fall of the apple over our heads or are some of the techniques that we use will change our way of thinking? It is simply a matter of crossing the usual spaces of thinking in our minds to move new spaces that we have not experienced before, to think differently than usual, then we will arrive at new ways of thinking and results, and this is the essence of creative thinking.
We are always concerned with the question of creativity, what does creativity mean? Who is the creative person? How do we think in a creative way? Can we become celebrities like creators? Let us take a look at creativity to discover together that it is an inherent patch within each of us.
"We are all creative, some of us only earn from our power to be creative"
(John Higarty)
Creativity can be defined as the expression of the individual from himself through the creation of something new. Thus, the concept of creativity is simply related to creation and production. The product may be a symphony, poetry poem, graphite, chemical formula or methodology that helps people to think better. God has created for us minds and we are remodeling and arranging the roads within them, either to be straight or zigzag and this dependency will reflect on our way of thinking and our lives, with our hands to look at things around us in a different way and prepare ourselves to think in more creative ways.
How do we find the motives of creativity within us?
After leaving her steady job and going to blogging and opening a project of her own, Sarah Arvin realized that leaving her for routine institutional work did not give her the magic to think creatively, and surprisingly she noticed her laziness increase. At a crucial moment she realized she would not develop a single step if she did not find herself (3), but how could Sarah find these stimuli?
The psychologist Abraham Maslow sets out the motivations and needs of man, summarized in five stages: vital needs (water, air, food), safety needs (such as feeling safe, health, indigence and poverty), belonging needs ), The needs of appreciation (to receive external stimuli such as feelings of appreciation and respect from others), the needs of self-realization (self-stimulation begins with the discovery of true talent and the pursuit of its development and success in it), 4 man does not stand at one stage, for every The next step is to reach the final stage, either to achieve the same or not, and then he will reach the stage of creativity by developing his own talent, without these stages will not reach creativity in the end as a reward to meet his needs, only treat creativity as a vital need like water and air and do not live your life without Talent and creativity, and this is what Sarah did.
Keep your fuel burning creatively
The biggest problem lies in the final stage (discovery and development of talent). How can we stimulate ourselves? Sarah Arvin says: "Keep your fuel burning." Comfort and discomfort are the most important fuel for innovation. Sarah explains that the easiest way to do the same job over and over again is to be comfortable and familiar with your tools. New and in different ways, this is the greatest stimulus to innovation. So you should expand your vision of the world around you, always try to look at it each time with a different look, go to an exhibition or museum, hear new music, go out for walks, walk long distances, discover new lands, confuse others and find inspiring people and plant yourself. In new circles of relationships [5], and one of the most different places you will find the joy of opening new doors to create new works in different ways, then you will discover yourself [6].
On a daily basis we think of it as a routine routine, and its habitual act also results in ordinary thoughts
"I love to think of myself as an artist, and my life is my greatest artistic work, and every moment is a moment of creativity and achievement, and every moment of inquiry contains endless possibilities ... What is the most wonderful art"
Shakti Javan
On a daily basis, we think of it as a routine routine, and its habituation as an act that also results in ordinary ideas, and the development of our thinking skills can weave different and more creative ideas. In her book, "Using Creative Thinking," Shakti Gawain recalls two things that would develop the process of reflection and creative imagination: "Read a lot, get friends", which effectively helps to discover new spaces in life far from our narrow space, to mingle with new ideas and people We know, to read and to hear new life experiences, all of which will lead us to produce new ideas that isolation did not produce. Always create a space for mixing with others away from yourself, and then you will attract many threads that embody your creativity. In the early 19th century, Paris was an area where hundreds of artists gathered from different parts of the world, where music did not subside, and theaters and museums were not closed. Artists traveled to open more spaces, discussions and readings that turned their ideas into lines of creativity that resulted in new literature, art and schools. Paris is like a factory that weave an art that we still remember.
"Watching someone who works creatively can help you learn more creative ways yourself." [7]
(Allison Doyle)
"Leonardo da Vinci did not touch anything but turned it into Jamal Khaled"
(Bernard Berenson)
In the footsteps of Leonardo da Vinci
After an in-depth study of his personal life and creative ways, Michael brought * to follow the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci, traveled to the town where he lived, read his books and research, and looked at his paintings. He carried in his pocket a diary as usual, Da Vinci, Seven principles lead us to think about the Da Vinci method which we will now review [8]:
Curiosity and curiosity
From love comes our passion for knowing the truth, and our curiosity about beauty makes us wonder "how?" And put our feet on the first steps of creativity: curiosity. When Da Vinci asked himself, "Why is the sky blue?", He answered: "The color is not the natural color of the air. This color is the result of the interaction of heat with static air, steam atoms, sunlight and other things that are not visible to the naked eye. Da Vinci loved knowledge and realized that it was his way to everything, fascinated by the swarms of birds in the sky and spread wings in the air and swaying with the breath of air, he searched in books about the space and nature of birds, and on the margins of his papers was drawing dozens of birds locked in cages until the core of flying . Do not worry, leave them for a short time and then read them again, then you will discover what is taking care of you, look for it and make it your new passion. Feathers that can make birds fly in the sky can motivate you with hundreds of ideas like Davinci.
From inside your small room you will not produce anything new, and you will not experience life
2. Proof and proof
It is not natural that one of us imitates another, otherwise he will be regarded as the grandson of nature, not her son. If we walk behind the squadron, we will not discover new ways and lose our identity. Only the independence of thought and identity distinguishes musicians, filmmakers, painters, writers, and others. Da Vinci did not surrender to the closed doors. He stared into the unknown to prove the truth of his various hypotheses, climbing the mountains of Lumbadi, and explaining more than thirty human bodies to the truth, making practical experience the best proof of his theories on words scattered on paper to tangible results. Be yourself, do not turn into someone else's shadow.
3. Sense
From inside your small room you will not produce anything new, you will not experience life, why do we close ourselves and forget the world outside? Since his youth, Davinci has been accustomed to meditating on nature and birds, exploring beauty in his eyes, playing music with his ears, drawing his senses on compassion and meditation for long periods, watching people's movements on the streets and their spontaneous gestures and gestures. Serge Bramley says that Da Vinci was interested in strengthening his senses as he cared for his muscles by strengthening his ability to observation and meditation, and in his books he was writing exercises for his senses as if he saw the closed eyes. Put yourself a new plan, feed, smell, see, hear, touch everything like you're rediscovering your senses again.
4. Doubt and questioning
Go away, explain the ambiguities and contradictions and be friends with them. The continued confrontation of your mind for everything that is uncertain and mysterious is the secret of freeing your creative abilities from hiding, and doubt is the golden key to opening the door of truth. Whenever he unraveled things and knew more about them, Da Vinci became more inclined to express his feelings and emotions. The mystery of the Da Vinci art, the smile of Mona Lisa and the body of St. John the Baptist has also been obscured. Have you noticed that this man who searches for mystery has left us with secrets and puzzles? We also ask, search and produce art. Here, one of the most mysterious and dark places that emit light and the essence of creativity.
5. Science and art
Have you seen an analysis of the human mind? If you look at its design you will find that it consists of two halves, medicine proves that the right half tends to imagination and creativity, while the left half is the center of rational and logical decisions. Do not rely on only one half, and weigh your interests between the two, if your mind is designed to accommodate the two halves, how can you not understand? Da Vinci was a sculptured artist who was also a scientist, and besides being a true artist, his deep knowledge of anatomy helped him draw and express human beauty. Make a balance of your habits, swing between grandpa and humor, planning and improvisation, science and art.
Think again, look at your life in a different way, look inside you for closed rooms, and go away from the usual
6. Fitness
Among the exercises that Da Vinci is keen on is walking, swimming, dueling and riding. He believed that health and happiness are a responsibility and have a strong influence on our feelings and creativity. How, then, is a body overloaded with fatigue and lethargy to create energy and vitality? Keep your health, stay away from worry and depression, take care of your food and stay away from drugs as much as possible. DaVinci was a brilliant chef and healthy food is the key to a healthy life that helped him to create without being overwhelmed. Remember the famous proverb: "sound mind in the healthy body," this proverb is true, do not ignore it.
7. Interconnection
There is a strong bond between all the world's assets, and this connection leads to a meaning, such as the Maestro before his band, which composed the melody on different machines. Da Vinci was based on the synthesis and the access of the different elements to create an unexpected new creativity, as long as researchers criticized him for writing things that were not interconnected or He moved his thoughts from one theme to another and from one point to the other more distant, but in the end he gathered the scattered threads to finally reach a conclusion. Observe a small seed in the earth that turns over the days into a tree. Do you find a link between a small grain and a flowering tree that sprouts branches and leaves? Do not give up, collect threads, move your hands stagnant water, and not filled with the immediate result, will eventually lead you thread to form an integrated image.
In the end, it's up to you, think again, look at your life in a different way, look around for closed rooms, stay away from the usual, hope for everything around you, and hope for yourself away from the squadron. Imagine, start your imagination to the limit and do not look for land to land, but look for a new space to create your own land.
