There are many ways.The first one is to learn to stimulate lateral thinking, we need to leave reasoning behind. Number two is to do new activities or do them differently. The next one is to not only create solutions for yourself but for others too. Another is to carry a notepad or an electronic device to write down your ideas. It is also useful to know the creativity tools so you can put them in practice. Reading and visiting new places helps a lot as well to do activities that can change your mood.

People are born creative and as they grow they are taught to

be more analytic, cautious, and to worry of judgment. To build our creative confidence we should:

- Try new things.

- Don't worry about being judged.

- Practice, creativity can be developed.

- Don't fear "losing control".

1. Stimulate: We need to stimulate the imagination and sense of humor.

We can do this by trying new alternatives and trying to go beyond.

2. Counteract Rigidity: We can do this by promoting flexibility, by listening with an open mind, byrejecting arrogance, and by never taking an activity as something close.

3. Liberate: we can liberate from actions with established continuity, from given concepts, and from very complex processes and solutions.

4. Explore: we need to explore new creative options, intuition, diverse environments and contexts, and we need to propose more than the obvious.

Question #11: What is linear thinking?

Linear thinking is the traditional way of thinking that we have been imposed.

It is because of this type of thinking that we believe every action has a specific answer.

It is logical, organized, and based on experience.

This way of thinking:

-Organizes the information in order

-Analyzes thoughts in a sequential and logical way

-Tends to prove using the scientific method. It is based on verification
