How to Get Our Creativity1 Back 如何找回我們的創(chuàng)造力

Dean Rieck 景一編譯

Research shows that even if youre nosmarter than most people， you still have thepotential2 to use your amazing creativitywhen writing. But， why are so few peoplehighly creative？ Because there are bad habitspeople learn as they grow up， which areblocks to creative thinking in the brain. Andthey can be broken if you are willing to workat it.

Now lets look at some quick methodsfor getting your creativity back. These aresimple habits you can practice every day.

研究表明，即使你并不比大多數(shù)人更聰明，在寫作時你仍然有潛力運用驚人的創(chuàng)造力。但是，為什么很少人具有高度的創(chuàng)造力呢？因為人們長大后會養(yǎng)成一些壞習慣，它們是大腦中創(chuàng)造性思維的障礙。而只要你愿意努力，它們是可以被糾正的。

現(xiàn)在，讓我們看看幾個找回創(chuàng)造力的速成法。這些都是你可以每天練習的簡單習慣。

Exercise more

Usually， the more you sit around， themore lethargic3 and unmotivated4 you feel.If youre not actually tired， make time tomove around more than you normally do.

You can walk around the block， or takethe stairs instead of staying in your room.Changing your environment helps you seethings from different perspectives5.

多運動

通常，你閑坐越久，就越感到昏昏欲睡，沒有動力。如果你不是真的累了，那就比平時多花點時間四處走動。

你可以繞著街區(qū)走，或者走樓梯而不是待在自己的房間里。改變你的環(huán)境有助于你從不同的角度看待事物。

Cut out mindless entertainment6

If you choose more creative entertainment，rather than mindless activities， it will have apositive influence on your creativity.

You should read articles and watch videosthat stimulate7 your mind. Carefully choosewhich television shows and movies you watch.

停止盲目的娛樂

如果你選擇更具創(chuàng)造性的娛樂，而不是盲目的活動，就會對你的創(chuàng)造力產(chǎn)生積極的影響。

你應該看看能激發(fā)思維的文章和視頻，仔細選擇觀看的電視節(jié)目和電影。

Follow your inner voice

Dont immediately dismiss8 all of yourcrazy ideas. You can always dismiss them laterif they turn out not to be the best choice foryou. But first， give them a chance.

Brainstorm9 how you can follow throughon an idea so that you can realize a goal.When you do， its much more likely that youllfind a way to get the result you want. It mightnot look anything like your original10 idea， butyoull only discover it by taking the time toimagine different possibilities.

跟隨內(nèi)心的聲音

不要立即否定你所有“瘋狂”的想法。如果它們不是你的最佳選擇，你可以隨時摒棄它們。但首先，給它們一個機會。

你要就如何貫徹一個想法而集思廣益，從而實現(xiàn)一個目標。當你這樣做的時候，你更有可能找到一種方法來得到你想要的結(jié)果。它可能看起來與你最初的想法完全不同，但你只有花時間想象不同的可能性才能發(fā)現(xiàn)它。
