Did you know that the brain is divided into two hemispheres? The left hemisphere is responsible for logical thought, while the right hemisphere is where creativity and emotion live. Ergo, everyone, regardless of age or mental capabilities, boasts creative prowess, often beyond what they’ve imagined. The trick is unlocking that creativity, especially for left-brain thinkers with a natural predisposition to be overly logical. 

Read on for a quick guide of three tips to unlock your imagination for a more creative mindset. 

•	Allow silliness, emotions, and nonsense to guide your creative mindset. 

Not every creative output is going to be a success. Some things will be downright silly, nonsensical, or overly emotional – and all of those things are okay! Let what you feel guide you! Remember that you’re using the creative side of your brain, not your logical side, so over-analyzing your work has zero places in your creative process. 

•	Maintain a positive mental attitude toward your creativity. 

Many people are their own worst enemies when it comes to blocking creative prowess. They focus on perfection, so the mistakes that come with the territory of creation are suddenly deemed unacceptable. 

Instead of making perfection an excuse for procrastination, use a positive mental attitude to fuel creativity. So, what if your daydream doesn’t match what you’ve made? You can try again! Plus, the aim is to fall in love with the creative process as much as find love in what you’ve created. 

•	Expend physical energy to get your creative juices flowing with dopamine. 

Dopamine is the feel-good flood that you get when you either accomplish something or are as productive as you want to be. It’s the feeling of achievement, and one of the quickest ways to get a dose of dopamine is through physical activity, like exercise. 

When you expend physical energy, you release stress, allowing the creative part of your brain to take over instead of being blocked by every day worries. So, find something physical that you love to do, and let yourself daydream while you sweat. You’d be surprised at the kind of creative power you feel after a good kickboxing session or anxiety-relieving stroll on a natural path. 

Unlocking your imagination and finding your creative flow is all about a can-do attitude and dedication to creating. Draw, paint, write, craft!
