Connected thinking - creativity skills

"Imagination is more important than knowledge." Knowledge is limited. The imagination surrounds the world. "
from

  Albert Einstein

  The human brain works by connecting; connecting ideas to new ideas, and so on. Unfortunately, modern life leads to mechanical thinking, which means that we are governed by habits, automatic associations and reactions. In a fixed mindset, our connections are less and less, and as a result, imagination does not work, and poor creativity tries to catch up with our artistic desires.

  Following the same creative approach can lead to a rut. So why not inject some different techniques/equipment or completely different art into your art?

Escape from yourself

Get on the bus, go to a place you have never planned, observe the street, and find the sign that you will lead you somewhere. Record the sounds you hear and any unusual shapes or accidents. Start talking with someone you don't usually talk to, eat an unusual food, and wait to see what happens.

Learn to ignore your inner critics

  Among other things, the role of the subconscious is to limit and prohibit changes. It insists on pre-defined thoughts, habits and aspirations, and any new things will be suspicious, hesitant, even delayed or missing. Next time you have a wonderful idea, when you start shooting/writing/composing, you will feel the desire for Chinese food, organize your wardrobe or call your aunt to tell your subconscious SHUT UP and start your draft. ! Realizing that this behavior is a little bad subconscious you can know when it happens, and most importantly you can be sure that it is not the real "you", but the mechanism behind your deep roots.

Dare to be stupid

  Try to make yourself stupid and see what happens next. When you deliberately make them unusual or strange, you never know what your work will look like. Write down pieces of music that you will never write, shoot images that you hate, and then write down part of the poem/fiction criticism that will die after reading. You will never know...
