Increase Creativity A-Z - Q Is For Questions- 5 Powerful Questions To Transform Your Creativity

Too many of the wrong type of questions can be counter productive to being creative and drag us down.

Negative questions like "Why am I useless?" or "Why do I even bother trying with so little talent?" are just destructive and defeatist.

But sometimes asking yourself the RIGHT question can make a major impact on your creativity.

It can set you off in new positive direction that otherwise you may not have found.

So here are 5 powerful questions you can ask yourself today, to transform your creativity levels:

1. When am I most creative? What time of day do you find it easiest to create? What kind of environment are you in when you’re most creative? What state of mind are you in?

How can you put yourself in these conditions that are favourable to your creativity more often?

2. What motivates me to create more? Do certain places inspire you? Seeing the work of others? Talking and sharing with other creative people? The desire to keep learning and improving?

How can you introduce these things that motivate you to create more often in your life?

3. What are my creative aspirations and goals? What do you want to have created in 10 years time? 5 years? 1 year? This next time next week?

What steps do you need to put in place today to help you reach these aims in the days, months and years to come?

4. Who can help me be more creative? Do you have role models and mentors to help you be more creative? Can you collaborate with and share support with colleagues? Could you use a coach or a teacher?

Which one of these people can you contact today to ask for their help?

5. What are my main creative strengths? What do you do really well? These can be specific talents like writing or designing, as well as strengths and qualities like being dedicated, flexible, full of ideas, persistent and so on.

Write a list of at least 25 creative strengths you have.

These are 5 powerful questions you can use to take your creativity to a new level.

Which of them are you going to ask – and answer – today?
