Five Funny Ways to be More Creative
My fellow biz boost circle blogger, Jenny Alexander at The Painted Lily is laying out a great challenge (and a gift for the winner!)
She asks how do you tap into your creative strengths and renew your creativity?
:::
Here’s my quick answers!
:::
1. Bend over and look at things upside down
2. Lace up your shoelaces in a new pattern. Put on your shoes on before your get dressed. Try your left shoe on your right foot for a second to see what it feels like.
3. Talk to strangers. Listen to stories. Ask for help. Linger. Do it again.
4. Eat a yellow vegetable. Eat a new food at a new place. Eat dessert first with a spork.
5. Sing all the Christmas Songs known. Give a Christmas gift in July. Take a photos of yourself with a paper Santa beard.
