Hy buddies!

Being unique does have two sides. Do we become positively unique or unique but it is negative? Being a creative person is a positive uniqueness. If you feel you have done creative things or you have used creativity in your daily life, then it is time to you look for ways to make that creativity can survive in you. You know how to keep it harder than reaching for something?

Here are suggestions for those of you wanting to stay creativeeven when you're so sad:

1. Take a Rest
If you work 8 hours with a high level of focus, then creativity will decrease drastically. Take an hour between the 8 hours, for example, after the first 3 or 4 hours. Take a time to get away from your work, enjoy your coffee, breathe deeply and do not conduct a serious work. Because your body really needs to rest. This is the first thing you should do when it comes to stagnant.

2. Excessive
Everything that is excessive is not good. For example, a graphic designer. To work on a project is what he really wants, but working on ten or more projects per month will make him bear an excessive burden. You may have to start learning to say something that comes to you with exaggeration.

3. Money
The absolute thing in this world is that everyone needs money. But to stay creative, do not do it all in hopes of earning money. Why not try to do the things you like personally? We can call it a personal project for fun but useful for you to stay creative.

4. Open Minded
Doing something that repeats every day over the long run is something that is not easy. So the first step you can take is to be open to the neighborhood around you, meet new people, say hello, and have short conversations.

 5. Take a Stroll
The term cool is traveling. Today everyone is doing it, both within and outside the country. The result makes them look happy. But did you know that traveling like that takes a lot of money? You do not have to do that! Trust me, walking around where you live can be something that will keep you creative. Indeed, being in the same place-that alone can make you bored and then impact on your creativity.

6. Taking notes
You should make a list of things you will do today, this week, even this month. It would be far much better if you take your goals and sort them in a diary. You have to make a note whether you have done it or not. It does not matter if not because you can still do it later. The note will motivate you to do the things you missed or did not.

7. Mobile Phone
Today who can get internet-connected mobile phones? But do you know that it can reduce your creativity if you just depend on it? It is good that you turn off your internet and keep your smartphone away. Even from the internet too, we need a break to avoid the decline in creativity.

8.Other Activities
For anyone, it's important to have an activity other than the main activity. For example, if you are a secretary in a company, it is very valuable to have other activities outside of office hours, such as drawing or gardening. These side activities will make you avoid the stress of the piling work.

“Creativity is not a talent. It is a way of operating,” John Cleese.
The eight things above are the little things that will impact on your creativity endurance. It may sound trivial and impressed patronizing, but why do not you try it? No need to fear to move away because creativity only belongs to those who dare to try.
