And every time you have to discuss intuitive plans during a meeting, you will come up with so many ideas, you never thought your mind was able to create. This will ultimately help your mind grow bigger, better, and slicker.

Well, we are here to encourage your self-esteem. We have listed down some hot tips that will make you scratch your creative minds. Let’s dive in!

1. Reading books can enhance your cognitive skills

First, we all need to understand that reading is not just a hobby. All the book lovers would know what that means. It is more like a learning opportunity to help you broaden your imagination. 

This means the time doesn’t need to come to you. In fact, you need to find some time from your busy routine to read at least one hour a day. 

If the reading doesn’t fascinate you much. You can also invest your time in watching movies or documentaries of your favorite genre. But how can reading or watching boost your creative energy? 

Well, let’s think about it this way; when you watch a movie in a foreign language with subtitles, of course, you naturally start to develop an interest in knowing and learning the language even more so that you don’t have to keep track of subtitles. While you are at it, you are giving the bonus treat to your mind, believe it or not. 

2. Socializing helps you in collecting new ideas and see the world from a new perspective

Hanging out in a small group is always a good idea. But, exploring out of your circle is the best thing you can do for yourself. Here is how: (right now we need to keep those groups to a minimum:))

When you go out of your way to socialize beyond your boundaries, you will see tons of opportunities coming your way. You will meet all kinds of people from various cultures, different religions, and diverse races. These are the people who will help you with viewing things all around you with other concepts. 

Even a casual discussion with random people can help you open a secret chamber inside yourself you never knew you had. 

So, giving up on your antisocial behavior will help you to gain more knowledge. And from knowledge comes power. This is how your mind can be set free from everyday worries and have a broader perspective about things. 

Don’t believe it? Well, if you ever get a chance, sit with a traveler. Have a good hour conversation with him, and you will know what’s being said here. Just keep 6ft between you!

3. Long hours of bathing can make a person better at figuring things out

A bathroom is an escape place for most of us. There is nothing to hide here. And well, who doesn’t like a warm shower after a long day? Guess we all are alike in this matter.  

Did you know, taking a shower every day has proven to lessen down the stress levels? No stress means you panic less. And when you panic less, your BP level remains at an optimum range, and you are less likely to develop heart diseases.

Taking long showers is a great way to relax your mind; it also helps you stay fresh all day with bubbles of innovative thoughts bursting in your mind. I love a long shower!!!

All the thoughts wild or civilized come together during shower time. These small self-arguments make you better at reasoning things and also helps you develop an intellectual personality. 

4. Writing your heart out can help you identify your standpoint in a much better way

Writing a poem or creating a rhythmic verse help you push your creative mind a little further. Your mind works like Google when you intend to write or recreate your own, one of a kind piece. 

Even if you think you can’t write. Grab a paper, pick a pencil, hold it tight, and start pouring your thoughts, one by one, on to the Paper. As Vincent Van Gogh said, if you hear a voice within you say, ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced. 

While you are busy creating a masterpiece, your body will feel a sudden rush of endorphins that brings about joy and excitement in you and motivates you to write more.

You can solely provide that peace once you decide to take some time out for yourself. Besides, it empowers you.
