divert your attention and make your life full of creativity.

1. Keep yourself in the creative system at all times.

what is a creativity system? Just like a person involved in a car accident, the first thing people think of may be that the driver is younger and less experienced. However, the driver's reason is only one of them, as well as the road conditions at that time, other vehicles, weather and other reasons, and many factors are intertwined, which led to a car accident.

Like this car accident, the creativity system is a whole system composed of many factors. All the elements in the system work together, which leads to the birth of the final creativity.

in the creativity system, the factors that affect creativity include the outbreak of new technologies, industry evaluation standards and academic fashion, which are all external environmental factors in the system, and of course, personal talent, hard work and a little bit of luck are also needed.

At this time, we should reflect on whether our usual environment has these elements of the creative system.

Just like the creativity in image, whether you can accept the new idea of image collocation, and whether the evaluation criteria of people around you give you positive encouragement or negative suppression, of course, the mainstream aesthetics of your company also determines your creativity.

I created "Beauty? The "Libang" community aims to lead thousands of women to achieve image counterattack, so this community strives to create a creative system about images. For example, I will let everyone master the evaluation criteria by telling some rules of creative collocation, and encourage students to try more to make their images more possible.

2. Make yourself a more creative person

Creative people have a universal characteristic, that is, they all have amazing adaptability, and can adapt to almost any environment and use any resources at hand to achieve their goals.

There is only one word to describe them, and that is "complexity".

Complexity means that creative people contain two contradictory extreme personalities. For example, they are aggressive and cooperative at the same time, introverted and extroverted, traditional and conservative, dedicated and detached, like to have fun and discipline, and can switch between fantasy and reality when they are usually energetic but silent. This complexity allows them to express all the potential personalities of human beings, just like the white spectrum contains all colors.

Maybe you think that such a complicated personality will not feel split? On the contrary, in Jung's view, every outstanding personality contains a repressed dark side. For example, a contented person will be eager to control others. But most people don't admit the other side of their personality in order to take care of their image, so people often compete with themselves and want to break through the distorted self.

Jung believes that a diverse personality is a sign of people's maturity, because they admit their diversity. Creative people are just harmonious polyhedrons. They don't suppress one side of their personality and then try to reach a balance point. They will change from one extreme to the other according to the needs of the situation. They are sure that they are experiencing two extremes, but they will not feel internal conflicts.

We should try our best to adapt to our complex personality, cultivate our complex personality and add another extreme personality that we lack, which can help us fill another latitude of the world and double the fun of life.

3. Free time can stimulate creativity

Free time allows problems to be hidden in the subconscious for a period of time, and also allows reason to retreat behind the scenes, so as to give your mind time for intellectual exploration. That is, creativity must be an extremely time-consuming process, so people who are always busy are usually not creative, which is why Shakespeare insists on taking a break between writing different plays.

4. Focus on improving creativity

Just like the concept of entropy in the law of thermodynamics, all substances are changing from order to disorder. Without human intervention, human consciousness system will always develop in the direction of disorder, which is spiritual entropy.

The confusion of consciousness is the killer of happiness, because it will make people uneasy, and what people experience in this state is only emptiness and uncertainty. If you can keep your consciousness focused on one thing at all times, you can resist spiritual entropy and make your consciousness have no chance to become confused. This state of concentration is flow, that is, creative experience.

5. Changes in environment and rules will stimulate creativity

We should try our best to make the environment harmonious with ourselves. Maybe you can't choose whether to live in a sunny place or a cloudy place, but you can choose to avoid an environment that consumes a lot of positive energy. If a place always makes you complacent or often makes you feel unbearable, you should consider changing the environment.

What everyone can change is the layout of your indoor environment. For example, there are almost no decorations and furniture in traditional Japanese families. This neutral style helps people to stay focused, while Victorian rooms are crowded with heavy and complicated decorations, which can also bring people a sense of control. The key is to find a style that suits you, which can make you use your attention effectively.

6. Curiosity is the power source of creativity

You can cultivate your curiosity, for example, you can create some surprises for your daily life, discover some interesting things on the roads you often walk, and taste new products in coffee shops.

after cultivating curiosity, we may find that you still have some untapped potential in areas that you have never explored before. Maybe it is your long-term interest in the future.

after discovering interest, the second step is to enjoy curiosity. You can wake yourself up with a clear goal every day. Creative people are never worried, because they always have something interesting to do.

after enjoying curiosity, we should also protect creativity. Because of the existence of spiritual entropy, people are easily disturbed by the outside world and destroy their hard-won concentration. Therefore, the most basic difference between a creative person and ordinary people is that he will protect creativity and leave more attention to innovation.
