All of us face problems. Unfortunately, we don't always know how to solve them. Our usual solutions may not work in every situation. That's why we need to think creatively to come up with creative solutions. We may not consider ourselves creative people, but if we can improve our creative thinking, new ideas will emerge. Following are some ways to boost your creativity.

First, be curious. Don't take for granted what we do or use every day. Think about how to do things differently. Sometimes the best ideas come from combining old ideas or changing them slightly. Second, avoid being immediately critical. When we think of a new idea, write it down—and save it. It may turn out to be useful later.

In addition, ask "what if". Instead of just accepting what we know as reality, asking "what if" may help us come up with new ideas. Then, take some time to relax. When we are not making any headway with our problem, stop working on it and do something completely different. We may come back to the problem with a fresh outlook and a new way to solve it. Try some of these ideas, and you'll find that being creative isn't so hard at all!
