Creativity is a skill we can all develop from "summary" of The Creative Nudge by Mick Mahoney,Kevin Chesters

Creativity is not some elusive trait possessed only by a select few. It is a skill that anyone can cultivate and develop over time. Just like any other skill, creativity can be honed through practice, persistence, and a willingness to step outside of one's comfort zone. Many people believe that creativity is something you either have or you don't. This fixed mindset can be limiting and discouraging, leading individuals to give up on exploring their creative potential. However, the truth is that creativity is a muscle that can be strengthened through consistent effort and a growth mindset. By embracing the idea that creativity is a skill that can be learned, individuals can open themselves up to new possibilities and ideas. This shift in mindset can be empowering, as it puts the focus on the process of creativity rather than the end result. It allows individuals to experiment, make mistakes, and learn from their experiences, ultimately leading to greater innovation and originality in their work. Just like any skill, creativity requires practice and dedication. By setting aside time each day to engage in creative activities, individuals can begin to develop their creative muscles and expand their creative capabilities. This could involve anything from writing, drawing, or brainstorming ideas to simply allowing oneself to daydream and let the mind wander. In order to truly develop one's creative skills, it is important to push beyond one's comfort zone and challenge oneself to think differently. This may involve seeking out new experiences, learning from others, and taking risks in order to break free from conventional thinking patterns. By embracing discomfort and uncertainty, individuals can push themselves to new heights of creativity and innovation.
  1. Creativity is not a fixed trait but a skill that can be cultivated and developed over time. By adopting a growth mindset and committing to regular practice, individuals can unlock their creative potential and harness their imagination in new and exciting ways. So, don't be afraid to take risks, make mistakes, and embrace the unknown – creativity is within reach for all of us.
