How Do We Use Creative Thinking in Our Lives?

Everyone wants to think creatively and be able to present new perspectives, whether in their practical, professional, or even personal lives.

Thinking and planning ensure a person avoids problems and bad situations and helps him achieve his interests and goals.

Creative thinking may mean inventing new ways to carry out tasks, solve problems and meet challenges.

Creative thinking brings a new and sometimes unconventional perspective to your life and work. This way of thinking can help departments and organizations to be more productive.


Creative Thinking: Definition

Creative thinking is the ability to think about something in a new way.

Creative thinking is known as thinking outside the box, as it includes lateral thinking or the ability to perceive unclear patterns in something, and creative people have the ability to devise new ways to solve problems and face challenges.


Creative thinking is not limited to artistic types, creative thinking is a skill that anyone can nurture and develop, such as brainstorming, which helps you in developing thinking very new and unfamiliar ideas.

You must also realize that creative thinking is not limited or conditioned by things that govern it, whether inside or outside logic.

Thinking can be directed towards any logical or illogical and applicable idea while setting the possibilities for lack of success or incomplete idea and the need to develop it differently. Therefore, alternative plans and quick suggested solutions should always be developed.


Why is Creative Thinking Important?

Creativity is one of the most important features of human life. Creative thinking makes you more mentally active, curious, optimistic, and innovative. 

Creative thinkers do not view problems as challenges but rather as exciting puzzles they are eager to solve.


Creative thinking occurs when a manager thinks differently to solve the problems he faces at work, as he encourages employees to find solutions to problems without returning to traditional ways of doing so, which gives them a sense of achievement and independence.

Creative thinking also enables finding more ideas and solutions when the problem is presented on a group scale.


The creative way of thinking has its advantages in some situations but some disadvantages in other situations.

Creative thinking is essential because it helps creative thinkers move away from their usual way of thinking, encourages consideration of other perspectives, and even an openness to the idea of new solutions.


Importance of Creative Thinking in Our life

Creative thinking is also important for other reasons, including:


Creative thinking provides self-awareness: We start to think authentically as we use our thoughts, feelings and beliefs. This creates biases in our thoughts, but we can learn to put these thoughts aside and get to know deeply about ourselves. This makes us more confident in our thoughts and awareness.

By leveraging creative thinking, we can build our confidence in our thoughts and begin to contribute to the group and our overall business.


Creative thinking provides tremendous freedom: When we innovate, we have the opportunity to interact with the world without judging ourselves. It is similar to how we felt when we were children, we do not care what people think of us, and we think and move with full freedom and our full will.


Creative thinking provides courage: Falling into critical problems and situations and making difficult decisions is inevitable and cannot be ignored, but you can deal with them with art and professionalism so that you can be creative in finding a solution. And this gives you sufficient courage to implement and accept the results, whatever they are, in addition, it helps you accept the lack of success and develop continuously.


Creative thinking eliminates surrender: One of the most important features of creative thinking is that it makes you less receptive to the idea of giving in to failure. And it always pushes you to develop thinking and master new skills, in order to help you in creativity in a different way.


Creative thinking provides stress relief:  Practicing creative thinking on a permanent basis is to relieve tension and stress that fall on people because of the routine and multiple responsibilities. And the solution here lies in dealing with matters that cause stress and tension in a different, more creative way.

Repetition of daily work or responsibilities with the same mechanism, leads to feelings of frustration and fear, especially if it does not produce impressive results, and every time it gives you the same results. Creative thinking here helps you get rid of the causes of stress and creates more creative and intelligent ideas. It may also help you get your tasks done faster and more efficiently.


Creative thinking provides improved productivity: Have you ever seen someone introduce a new or innovative product before and failed or did not achieve high sales? of course, not.

When you present new and innovative ideas or different solutions, they will overcome obstacles to the progress of professional productivity, and contribute to raising the level of creativity and innovation in the above, but the smart approach becomes your way and your secret to success, and this guarantees you not to lose for a long time.


Creative thinking provides bonding and teamwork: One of the most important features of creative thinking is the creation of a spirit of cooperation between the work team and also generates social cohesion among the members of the same team.

Because the public interest will only be implemented through participation, putting forward creative ideas, and developing them in a way that suits the nature of work. This will achieve impressive success and huge sales of your product or service provided to the community.


How to Promote Creative Thinking

Creative thinking is the great human ability to find appropriate solutions to the various problems that he may encounter in a timely manner and without any delay. And this great ability can only be acquired by a person after long effort and diligence.

There are many methods that enhance creative thinking. Here, we'll introduce you to the most important tips to help boost your creative thinking skill.

 

Train your mind to visualize on a regular basis instead of focusing mental strength on routine actions to confront problems. This is done by trying to see any practical or entertaining matters from three angles.

Set aside a certain amount of time for creative thinking. It is possible to set an hour of the day or of the week during which creative thinking about something specific is practiced. Provide a short and clear description of any new idea in three sentences.


Although some consider curiosity to be a bad trait, at times using it properly contributes to the development of a creative sense in a person. That is why you should direct your curiosity towards discovering new things that no one has ever done before, in addition to your movement and search for all the strange things and phenomena that you encounter in your daily life.


Nothing can develop a person's sense of intellectual and mental creativity more than a sense of self-confidence. So we recommend that you trust a lot in yourself and in all the abilities that you possess, no matter how simple.

 We also advise you to trust your abilities to achieve success, progress, and all difficult work with distinction and creativity.


The spirit of risk-taking plays a fundamental role in enhancing the creative skills of a person. So if you want to enhance your creative thinking process, you have to have a spirit of risk that helps you develop your abilities and skills without thinking or allowing fear to dominate you. Even if you failed the first time, make sure that you will succeed next time.


To develop your creative thinking, you must persevere in the habit of reading and reading books on a daily basis, such as literary books, scientific books, cultural books, books on psychology, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), and books that talk about human development.


It is very necessary to get rid of your negative thinking that contributes to killing your creativity and persistence and weakens your ability to create unique ideas that guarantee you excellence and brilliance in life.

Think positively about all the matters and situations that pass in your life, because positive thinking enhances a person's creativity and mental abilities.
