10 Innovative Ideas To Unleash Your Creative Genius

My Thread on Things to focus on in your 20’s went viral.

I received DMs asking me more questions

One was: How can I be more creative?

My first tailor-made thread for you.

No.10 is my favourite

// Creative THREAD ALERT //😎
1. What is Creativity?

“Creativity is the transformation of your ideas, imagination & dreams into reality”

CREATIVITY is:

- being continuously curious

- transforming the mundane into a masterpiece

- being bold, when everyone else is boring

- making the impossible possible
2. How CaN YOU bE moRe CreaTive?

There are many ways to get into a creative flow.

But It all starts with Self Awareness

We were all born creative.

As children so creative were we, we didn’t even want to eat.

Yet later in life we unlearned our gift.

What happened ?
We grew afraid, we didn’t want creativity nor fun.

Fun was for kids. Creativity for artists. Artists don’t make money.

Not for us.

Do yourself a favour.

Give YOU, permission to find YOUR art again.

Dare to do things differently.

Be curious & resourceful.

Be creative.
3. UnlOck YoUr Kreative Closet:

Write down a word.

Put on a timer for 10 minutes

With that word in mind, start writing down

10 poems,
10 pieces of prose
or 10 stories.

Unleash the Tiger in you, release those ideas, have no fear

If you still have time, write down 10 more.
4. Think Limitless

Don’t judge. Write!

Open the doors to your imagination.

Let water flood through the gates of your Kingdom:

Harry Potter, Noddy, the Elves, Hobbits, or Drake to rap & sing.

The Key to Kreativity is to embrace the unconventional

Tap into it.
5. Now Imagine 10 Different People

Think of family members, professions, movie characters, politicians, actors, singers..

You get the idea.

Now choose an object, city , country or famous building.

What would each of them say or do with the other?

Write down your ideas
7. Disrupt your Common Habits:

Drink a different drink,

Cook something else,

Sit at a different desk, talk to a stranger,

Learn to say something in Swahili,

Do a handstand,

Try a new exercise,

Close one eye when you read,

Use a different plate to eat
8. Use the Same Object in Different Ways

EXPAND

A pen is not just for writing.

Imagine you are Van Gogh or Picasso

Doodle, draw or sketch something exciting.

Or take a paint brush, start painting.

Let your imagination flow freely.
9. Move

Put on some music, dance.

Even better, MAKE music and dance.

Use a pen as a drumstick, a glass as a drum.

Hum a tune, write a song and sing along.

Your paintbrush can become a puppet.

Create a play for kids..

Possibilities are endless, use your imagination.
10. Activate Your Right Brain

The right brain is your creative centre.

If all fails do this:

Breathe out of your left nostril

Hop on your left foot

Move your left arm up & down

Shout at the top of your voice “Left is best”

Swing your left arm while you kick the left leg
There you go! My first "Tailor-Made Thread"

I hope this got your Creativity Mojo flowing,
Ideas planting, seeds sowing,
So that your head, now full of ideas,
Like a light bulb keeps glowing!

10 Things to focus on in your 20’s

My 20’s were great.

I was young & hungry, willing to live life to its fullest, learn, earn & break hearts.

But it was mostly me who ended up broke & heartbroken.

I wish I knew better then

Advice for you to level up your 20’s

// A THREAD //
1. Build financial foundations

Your 20’s is the time to build foundations.
Lay the base for your financial future.

Save every month, invest if you can.
Your older you will be thankful.
2. Commit less to amorous relationships, more on yourself.

Know yourself well.

Committing to relationships which you know will fail, is not doing you nor the other person any favours.

Be honest with yourself.

If you heart says no, let your mouth speak the truth too.
