1. Keep a notebook and pen with you at your desk, in your car, everywhere you go so you can always record your ideas as you have them.
2. Learn to ask more questions. Ask “What if?” Don’t be afraid to have what seem to be completely crazy ideas. Learn to think beyond what seems obvious.
3. Daydream. Learn to use your imagination. You must see it in your mind before it becomes a reality. Become a master at visualization.
4. Become more spontaneous. Don’t concern yourself with what others think about your ideas.
5. Follow your intuition. Follow that little voice inside; it will never let you down.
6. Do not compare yourself to others. This is a quick creativity killer. Be nice to yourself.
7. Try new things. Visit a museum, go shopping, a change of scenery will reboot your creative mind.
8. Brainstorm with your family or friends.
9. Read, read and then read some more. Whether you are reading a book, your tweets, the Internet, just read. Never stop learning.
10. Take a bubble bath.

11. Learn to become comfortable with the silence. Quiet your mind. Go within, there are nuggets of gold in there if you can quiet your mind and explore yourself. Get in the moment.
12. Try new foods. Milk, spinach, salmon, whole grain pasta, tofu and sunflower seeds are all proven to make you feel happier and more creative.
13. Sleep or lack of it. It’s funny because it is shown that sleep can recharge your batteries and make you feel more creative, but also hacking your body and not sleeping for extended periods of time can trigger insane amounts of creativity.
14. Listen to music. (This one is my favorite!)
15. Physical exercise definitely stimulates creativity.
16. Take a walk in nature, breathe in the fresh air, appreciate and become inspired by nature.
17. Stop doubting your own ability to be creative. Believe that you are inherently creative.
18. If you hit a wall creatively, walk away and do something else for a while, then go back to your project. When I do this, the answer almost always magically comes to me.
19. Learn to take more chances, put yourself out there a bit more, trusting yourself.
20. Last but certainly not least, fall in love with what you do. All creative people have this in common. For example, I love to write. I write for the same reason that I breathe, because I have to. It is who I am and I love it. Find your passion and do it. And then, do it some more.
