One of the biggest myths about creativity is that it is bestowed on a lucky couple, and some of

us do not have a creative bone in our body.

Pinapaniwalaan na ang pagkamalikhain ay likas sa iilang tao lamang at ang iba ay hindi
nabigyan

Maaaring sabihin ng ibang tao na ang pagkamalikhain

Christine Miller Mason ‘Desire to Inspire: Using Creative Passion to Transform the World

Creativity is the process of bringing something new into being. Creativity requires passion and
commitment. It brings to our awareness what was previously hidden and points to new life. The
experience is one of heightened consciousness: ecstasy.” – Rollo May, The Courage to Create

Many people feel that creativity isn't their 'thing' - they aren't arty, missed out on that 'creative gene',
aren't good at thinking like that. . . But creativity is something we are all born with, and something that
needs to be nurtured - and is definately a skill that you can re-learn if you've let it lapse.

Ang pagiging malikhain ay isang kakayahan na tumutulong sa tao upang mas pagandahin,
paunlarin at padaliin ang isang gawain. Sa pamamagitan ng malikhaing pag-iisip nakatutuklas
ang isang tao ng mga alternatibong paraan upang bigyan ng kariktan ang kaniyang proyekto.
Dahil na rin dito nakatutuklas din sya ng mga kamangha-mangha at kakaibang mg produkto na
likha ng kaniyang masining na isipan at kakayahan.

Creativity begins with a foundation of knowledge, learning a discipline, and mastering a way of
thinking. You can learn to be creative by experimenting, exploring, questioning assumptions,
using imagination and synthesing information. Learning to be creative is akin to learning a sport.
It requires practice to develop the right muscles and a supportive environment in which to
flourish.

So if you want your child to retain their ability and desire to be creative, encourage them to let
their mind run free while they come up with ideas, and only afterwards to sit down, evaluate
them and start working on the ones they think are the best.
READING:

Why reading blah… (https://creativemarket.com/blog/why-reading-makes-you-more-creative)

Reading just 30 minutes a day (again we're talking books, not blogs) flexes
those mind muscles. It makes you think, fantasize, use your imagination. You
have to comprehend ideas and reasoning, and like any exercise, the more you
train the better you will get.
Neuroscientists at Emory University * discovered that reading fiction can improve brain function on
a variety of levels. They found that becoming engrossed in a novel enhances connectivity in the brain
and improves brain function. Reading fiction was found to improve the reader's imagination in a way
that is similar to muscle memory** in sports.

Additionally, they found that reading a good novel allows one’s imagination to take flight and allows
you to forget about your day-to-day troubles. Reading a good science fiction novel, for example, can
transport you to a fantasy world that becomes reality in your mind’s eye.

Lead Emory researcher Gregory Berns concluded, "At a minimum, we can say that reading stories—
especially those with strong narrative arcs—reconfigures brain networks for at least a few days. It
shows how stories can stay with us. This may have profound implications for children and the role of
reading in shaping their brains." Study: Reading a Novel Changes Your Brain
WATCHING:

Sci-fi movie enhances creativity in a way na dahil sa mga ipinapakita na advance technology,
nagbibigay ng ideya sa pagbuo o imbento ng mga bagay na yun.

If you’re looking for something to ignite this creativity, movies appear

to fit the bill. Because they give us the opportunity to immerse
ourselves within worlds and existences that we may never experience
in real life. (Lloyd Wheeler2nd March 2017)

We can engross ourselves within other people’s life stories of

overcoming something against all odds. We can dive into a zombie-
infested world to fight our way out alive. We can watch something
light-hearted and laugh aloud for the first time that day. And what
happens when we do is what’s important. We can watch something
that can instantly transform our moods to give us a newfound energy
or we can see things from a different perspective.

performance on the creativity tests more than watching nonmagical clips did.

How TV can fire up your creativity

Here are just a few thoughts about creativity and productivity in general that
have worked for me. Your mileage may differ.

1. Change Your Perspective

I think and write for a living. I do most of that in front of a computer monitor.
(Think TV fries brain cells? Try sitting in front of a monitor all day “trying to
be creative.”)

I will leave my screen, and change my scenery. What follows is often fresh
perspective, new approaches.

Even as I watch Detective Grissom solve crimes, my brain is still churning in

the background pondering the creative problem of the moment. And sure
enough, one of Grissom’s wise asides will spur a new approach, a thought I
wouldn’t have considered without the change of venue. He’s even helped me
write a blog post or two.

2. Read Something Outside your Current Focus

Same principle applies with books, or magazines, or blogs – with a twist.

I might be lost in the weeds with a thorny issue, and I’ll pick up a copy
of Fast Company magazine or scan my bookshelves for a completely
unrelated title.
I’ve gotten great insight or solutions from business models completely
different than my own as discussed in business magazines.
Of course you won’t always solve a directly-related problem. I’ve picked up
some great ideas for future posts or products from books completely
unrelated to whatever I’m over-thinking in the moment. I’ll jot them down in
my “percolating ideas” notebook, and return to the problem at hand, my brain
refreshed by an exciting discovery.
