How can I be creative when I need it?

"It's just that I'm not creative." "It's just that I never have good ideas." With this false belief, many of us conform and take it as an excuse to let others take care of tasks that have to do with creativity.

Almost all my life these types of tasks have fallen on me in the end because those who know me know that my head does not stop turning over many issues. Although it sounds strange, I like to think and it brings me happiness to continuously generate ideas. I wouldn't know how to explain the reason behind it either, it's just like that.

Why am I more creative than average (or so I think)

Creativity has nothing to do with intelligence. I do not know if there are studies that show that it is related but I doubt it. I like to think that I am not the most clumsy person in the world but I am far from having an intellect that reaches the height of Einstein's little brother.

Even so, I realize that being creative for me is not a problem. It has to do with these things, the vast majority of which are supported by studies, but now don't expect me to quote them all.

I get enough rest despite getting up every day at 6 in the morning. There is a "trick" and it consists of going to bed early. In me, I am almost used to rubbing around 10:30 am.
I practice sports 6 out of 7 days a week. I like to "suffer" physically for the sweet feeling of having overcome my own weakness. It also allows you to have a clear head.
I learn new things every day. You don't always have to read books. In my case, I have not made the effort to pick up a book and take 15-20 minutes to study it. I do it through YouTube videos where I learn about nutrition, exercise, mental health, business, education, etc.
I consider myself to be creative. My way of seeing myself is closely related to creativity. I see that it is not difficult for me to be creative when I need it, so I take it for granted that I will find a solution even if it is not yet at hand.

If the center of creativity is your brain and we compare it to a car engine, you have to keep it moving continuously, take it to the workshop every 6 months for revisions, and put enough gasoline in it so that it can go full throttle.

Be creative instantly – here are my tips

It is clear that what works for me does not have to work for you in the same way. Possibly one of the most important points is to consider yourself a creative person. Generating ideas begins with having the confidence to have that ability and I am convinced that any of us do.

In my case, it doesn't cost me too much to be creative instantly. I have published nearly 1,000 blog posts and 99% of the ideas for the posts come 2 minutes before I start writing them. I don't have any content plan. In the morning when I wake up I don't usually know what I'm going to write 45 minutes later.

This is my morning creative ritual when I write a post.

I wake up, turn off the alarm clock on my phone and immediately put it away again so as not to be tempted to distract my brain with the latest sales statistics on Amazon, social networks, or other topics that do not encourage creativity.
When I have breakfast I watch a video on Youtube. It may be a person I've started to follow. Yesterday I learned about body language today I have been with a TED video related to mental health. They are small pills of knowledge that generate new connection points that in an unknown way today can generate a new idea tomorrow.
Before writing I put on headphones with concentration music. It's not really music, it's more like sounds, but when I listen to it I have the feeling that my brain starts to speed up and I enter a kind of flow state. I have very limited time (30-40 minutes) to write the post so I can't allow any distractions. If I don't get the ticket in this hole, it will be difficult to do it for the rest of the day.

My main conclusion is this. I can be creative because being creative doesn't always mean having brilliant ideas. Many of my entries are worse, some mediocre, and still some very good.

I'm not worried about what you might think about me when I make a spelling mistake, but what I know for sure is that it won't stop me from making a post every day. It's my lifestyle, it's a definition of who

I am, there are no alternatives to not generating a new idea every day.

When you have no choice but to be creative, you are. I'll keep telling you.
