How to Be More Creative | Jim Kwik

[@UmeshKumar-we2be]

1)Write journaling 2)Walking 3)Spend time with nature 4)Morning shower

[@vishnumanosh9253]

writing continuously without a break for atleast 1hr is a way of becoming creative

[@prathamgupta11]

How, can you explain like what does it actually do to the mind??

[@vishnumanosh9253]

I feel it is just a way of entering into ur flow state .. I'm not sure.. I have experienced it personally.... Not from any research work.. Try it urself... U will loose track of ur time while doing so and get into a creative mode

[@prathamgupta11]

@@vishnumanosh9253 okay and what do you write about, like you do journalling or you write ideas or something else

[@prashantmungare]

Being more intentional with my thoughts daily - walking, in the shower, waking up, becoming more aware of my thoughts, and changing them to be more intentional with my creative ideas

[@haiyunwang2952]

1. Writing notes for any tasks happen in the day 2. Walking in the nature

[@ari-jc6iw]

- taking cold showers - starting a journal of some sort for ideas - thinking about my progress and difficulties I face in day to day life before going to bed

[@swervevfx]

the one that that worked for me when it comes to creativity is JUST GET STARTED: just start what you are working on, take it one step at a time, once u are done with that bit take a moment, zone out for a bit while thinking about ur next move, take a look at it and see the different possibilities you can go about the next step and keep that flow going until you are done BONUS: another thing i do is listen to retro synthwave type beats with no lyrics, those types of music that play in movies when the character is in a deep work session i.e Tony Stark, these put your brain in a state of awareness

[@aneliamiteva6885]

Start a journal in the morning again - I used to do it a while ago during the pandemic and it really helped me focus on the positive things during the day, setting positive intentions, as we know our thoughts shape our behaviours and our behaviours shape our habits, and then the habits create us:) Thank you, Jim, for reminding us on the small things in life that really can provoke change !

[@stephenpapps59]

Thanks Jim! When I walk in the mornings I try not to think. That way I notice birds, houses, flora, sounds, clouds, the light - and anything else sensory. Very grateful for these provocations!

[@MatthewLofland-l5q]

Focusing on objects up close and afar, brings a calmer focus and leads to creative thinking.

[@Jess2025-k5o]

Thank you, this was really valuable. I want to walk more often and keep a notebook next to my bed, so I can write about my dreams immediately.

[@mastermindachiever4381]

Not obsessing over my limitations. I want to obsess over what I want to be to do and to have. Fall asleep thinking feeling and seeing what I want to happen Wake up plan and see my day before I get up. 👍

[@Naidoesnerdstuff]

I think in order to cultivate my creativity more I could think of rules I've learned when it comes to art, writing/journaling, or logic as a suggestion rather than a program. I'm an artist, and as an artist who used to watch art tutorials when I was younger, I've learned how to draw a nose, or eyes. But the proportions and shapes I have learned to draw are only one version of what I could be doing. So I could instead try to challenge those things I've learned. In terms of journaling, maybe instead of writing organized lists and calendars, I could add space in my journal to freely write about whatever's on my mind more often. When it comes to logic, I could try not to always go with my first answer. This video was really interesting, especially learning about how states of awareness affect learning and creativity

[@debraleong5519]

Thank you!. I'll try journaling in the morning, instead of picking up my phone. That's an unhealthy habit I have that I wish to change. Thanks!

[@jameswainaina4316]

I discovered that most of the answers i have had to difficult questions come when I am not actually 'thinking' ! That points to the fact that calmness or rather the state of being 'present' is the most creative state for a human being.

[@real-lil_lil]

Being more present and allowing my self just to be free allows for me to be creative

[@desireemadeja5077]

• taking shower • dance workout • writing down my thoughts, feelings, observations • writing lyrics • singing

[@joshuasvenson2279]

Definitely one about setting an intention or kind of an obsession before going to sleep whether to solve a problem or be more creative in other aspect of life.

[@ValentinoK.a]

I could when I first wake up start drawing everything that went to my head. Then take a shower and start imaginating things. I could also get out and walk seeing the outsides and trying to view it with other perspectives. Before sleeping setting a question for a creativity problem and trying to dream with designs to then draw them in the morning.

[@teenvibes232]

I would start to ask a question before i sleep and journal in the morning, i would schedule more time walking. I am going to share this to others

[@FedhaBanks-vg2hw]

Take morning shawer Have e nature walk Spending some quality time alone

[@psand3203]

I find sitting on the porch first thing in the morning, taking in the sounds, sights and smells helps.

[@gabrielandrick4345]

Getting into the flow state more often.

[@barbaradace7952]

I'll put my journal and pen next to my pillow, so I can journal dreams and creative ideas in the morning, review the day at night, plan for the future, and remember to set the intention to dream

[@3coblue]

Thank you! Great confirmation about journaling. Writing gratitude journal first thing in the morning helps me to set positive intentions for the day as well as to transform negative subconscious thoughts that come up in my dreams. I will try asking positive, constructive questions before going to sleep for better dream experiences and avoiding smartphone for the first hour of the day to output ideas instead of inputting ideas. Also, take more walks & showers!

[@albertoluna1271]

Thanks for your feedback.

[@SamiLazraq]

journaling and nature

[@trevorjensen2498]

To be more creative I want to put less judgement or expectations on what creativity looks like, I have creative endeavors that I am interested in and sometimes I think I am hard on myself because I feel I am not fulfilling those specific endeavors. This causes me to think I am not creative in general even though there are plenty other things such as conversation, rock climbing, etc. where I am creative in my solutions. Creativity is limitless and has no name, no expectations, I need to just appreciate the fact that it is accessible regardless of what it looks like and at what quantity I am accessing it!

[@mussabm2981]

talk to myself makes me more creative cause I feel like discovering parts I didn't thought of

[@phoenixrhodes2422]

By reading all my dreams from my journal and capturing notes that stand out in them

[@faisalsiddiqui2007]

Just set the goles and try to achieve all of us to become more creative

[@hazelblair6634]

my intention would be, to bite the bullet and tidy up and sort out my crafting space for more creativity BUT ironically it is the creative side of me that got the space in the mess it is in now. my goal is to reach my own potential and to embrace my talent and do something worthwhile with it. Thank you for the advice but, i have to say, i talk to myself in my head every night with intention and as yet i have not found the answers. i will not give up as i am very determined to conquer this. Thank you Jim. x

[@barbaradace7952]

As long as you can find what you need within a minute or two, your crafting space is fine as it is. A creative space needs enough organization to be functional, but needs to please nobody else but you! :-)

[@hazelblair6634]

i would love to connect with you, but, i don't have whatsapp.

[@appleoneill5135]

I totally hear you Hazel. My crafting 'space' has virtually taken over my full flat. I agree with Barbara, she has worded that lovely. Unfortunately I seem to live in creative chaos! I recently spent a week organising my craft stuff and within 3 days it looked like I had been on a total crafting frenzy, and that is how it remains. Today my creativity seems to have mooched away, hence watching these tutorials. It was a year ago you posted your comment so you probably won't see this, but I hope you feel more organised ❤x

[@temesegeneengeda7955]

in my view , creativity is not a weight you can increase or decrease; it is a path or part of life but this creativity as a part of life needs refreshment and I would like to refresh my self washing my face, dancing, reading novel, being busy means not facilating much time in unwanted sectors like television and extra

[@Pazaluz]

wow the thing about showers is really true! I've always wondered what it is about showers and so many ideas coming into my head, It does change your state.

[@lotuseye7]

Getting into the alpha state through meditation, then finding ideas for my blog.

[@kedamono3765]

Thankyou. I've been drawing since I was small and I realized my creativity has lowered. Thank you.

[@princemj]

Drawing is one way that seems to cultivate my creativity. 🖼️

[@MrChrisis100]

More running/walking should absolutely open up new portals for me !

[@onlyKobo]

I think one way to become more creative is to force yourself into uncomfortable situations. Within reason of course. If you spend too much time in what you're comfortable with then you're limiting your brain to what you may already know, try new practices, talk to new people, perhaps even have a healthy amount of solitude and step away from the world you're so used to so frequently and just sit with your thoughts, let them wander, see where they take you and what new perspectives you gain from further reflection on the circumstances, people, and situations around you.

[@xyc706]

I think going outside really enhances creativity and observing different things

[@catlady_arts]

One thing I could do to explore my creative mind, or at least pull out some creative ideas esp when I'm in my creative block state, I would use a Randomizer app that generates random things, ie animals, things found in the office, emojis, etc, and I would use whatever result from the Randomizer to create something.

[@mysticalmolecule2896]

How can i be more creative? Exposure to new experiences, ideas, cognitions, nature places. Mixing components together. Having fun.

[@harshwardhanshinde9570]

sketching whatever u remeber or constantlt trying diffrent sketching techniques is my way of improving creativity

[@fariabakht7485]

I will allow myself to be out of routine for on a single day , I think being too much deciplined kills creativity

[@liana7220]

So wild that you mentioned about taking a shower. I often think of ideas, to-dos, grocery items while in the shower. A couple years ago, I put an Alexa device in my bathrooms so I can instantly offload and record these things. “Alexa, add talk to Julie about ideation session to my To Do list.”

[@albertoluna1271]

Will set my intention to resolve a problem before bed. When I wake up I’ll write my dream.

[@robertdecastro8593]

[@sushmitak6546]

The captivating masterpiece, "Sapta Sagaradache Ello," has left an indelible mark on my mind, prompting profound reflections on the extraordinary capabilities of the human mind in crafting cinematically majestic experiences. This enlightening film not only transported me to realms of cinematic wonder but also unveiled the intricate collaboration of the brilliant minds behind the scenes - the writer, director, and actor - orchestrating a symphony of creativity that deserves heartfelt appreciation.

[@enpasionarte]

This blew my mind 🤯 there were things I had already heard but from this angle I get it clearer and more interesting. I find my highest state of creativity so far when I limit myself to a certain space to bring out the best visual scenes and in my dreams there are also ideas that I write when I wake up and i complemented them in these states of relaxation, positivity and happiness! ✨

[@nicetomoleyou4534]

I definitely think a good way of becoming more creative is learning another language. Haven’t done it yet but I’m interested in learning Spanish.

[@jotishnanath6166]

Well ,i don't know it might sound funny , but whenever i wanna be creative or want to solve problems i always go to bathroom and then while freshen up , i keep thinking about the Question and it help me alot cause maximum time it gave me solutions to me problems 😂😂

[@azharmuhammedu5989]

Thank you for coming up with such informative videos. I have always thought that I wasn't given the "gift" of creativity but after watching this video it has changed. I want to try out to set the intention to be creative in my dreams 💪🏾

I don't know what I am going to do to be more creative (yet) but I am going to think about a problem I want to solve before going to sleep. :)

[@deep_d.i.v.e]

Trust the process and don't question until no other option stands.

[@chickenguy5674]

Start walking or writing or reading more instead of being on my phone laying/sitting down watching social media and use that time for videos to improve my life like learning new things , new skills , better ideas

[@sam_is_joy]

I think going to the gym doing a work out with any music are television on. Then hitting the sauna and jacuzzi will help with creativity. Or walking the streets at 3:00 AM in the rain.

Thank you for your guidance and methods for sharing the information. I appreciate your energy.

[@Manas-co8wl]

I was doing a hundred day discipline where I cut down most of social media, cafe, and all fast food and games. That period is about to end (91 days, which was successful). So I want to try out a new 100 days relaxing myself, cutting down almost all the negativities/anxieties I harbor, enjoying life, and just slowly loosen myself. The next 100 days I want to go creative mode, get in that theta wave, let go of all worries and free me of all the drudge I wasn’t able to get rid of the past 100 days. I realized that I was a “problem-solving” oriented guy. I work best when there’s a specific mission and objective answers. Which sort of shook me because my goal was always of a creative type. So the next hundred days I’m going to let all that analytic “destroy the problem” side of me go, and just relax, chill, do not worry too much, and allow my naturally creative side to take root. Let what is, is, give my soul some well needed rest, take walks, and retake up that dream log. And most of all, I will stop judging my artworks. I’m just gonna regress back to my childhood when it comes to making stuff up and just doing things for it’s own sake. This should be fun. Thank you for the inspiration.

I learn that taking a stone on hand could let me stay in the state Alpha, sometime while I am very late sleep my mind will turn very fast while I am trying to sleep. It can be word and also can be visualization. I also like one advice from you that's ask myself an important question before I asleep. Ask question than could get the answer this always be the reminder to me from today, Jim Kwik thanks so much and you give me so much inspiration for me to achieve my goal become a great teacher in Malaysia 💙💙💙
