Creative thinking is the ability to think in unique ways and find unusual solutions to problems.

Convergent thinking produces one correct answer (standardized tests); divergent thinking produces many answers to the same question and is characterized creatively.

Most creative children are intelligent, however the opposite is not always the case. To increase creativity in children one can use the following for stimulation:

• Brainstorming and coming up with unique ideas
• Environments that stimulate creativity
• Do not over control and apply limits
• Encourage internal motivation
• Foster flexible and playful thinking
• Introduce children to creative people

What stimulates my creativity?

A free mind
A mind free of all positionalities
A mind at peace, clean, clear, liberated

Creativity is an inner ability; external environmental factors can influence the polarization of the mind, but to be one with what enables creativity is to be one with all of life.

Creative traits I find within myself:

• The ability to think analytically and intuitively
• Playful and childlike
• Engage frequently in solitary activities especially during childhood
• Ideas that are original and qualitatively different

Creativity is the texture to the painting of life in which reality is the canvas. Expression is innate; creative-expression is unique. To bring forth manifestation in a creative fashion is to shine light to the road of life in a way that is clever, resourceful, and most profound.
