1.創造需要時間及安靜的氛圍。最好每天或至少每週制定時間表,為自己創造力的開發留些時間。
2.創造力是有週期的。我們不可能總處於收穫時期,肯定會有毫無進展的時候,所以,你不必憂慮。
3.明智地選擇良師益友和志同道合的搭檔。並不是所有人(即使是你最親近的人)都會支持你的夢想——這雖然令人難過,卻是一個事實。你沒必要與外界斷絕來往,只是在擇友時一定要慎重。
4.忠於自己。戰勝愧疚與自責是發揮創造力的一大因素。當然,這樣的話,房子可能會一團糟或是沒有盡到某些該盡的職責。
5.嚴格地劃分界限。要審慎地作出許諾。如奧普拉?溫弗裡(美國著名「脫口秀」主持人)所說的——「我否定許多事,這樣我才能接受生活賦予我的新事物。」
6.發揮特長。我們常常只關注自身的缺陷,並花費大量時間努力「修補」。可事實是,倘若你用80%的努力去修補缺陷,你可能只會修補好20%。如果你用同樣80%的努力去提高你的強項,你很可能會將其提高100%或更多。
7.恐懼與創造力同行。當你冒險涉足一個陌生領域時,很可能會害怕,那麼,與恐懼交友吧!事先做好心理準備並重新定義恐懼,把它看做一種推動力,這樣你就可以繼續前行了。
8.不要自我責備。要對你的表現予以肯定。的確,你應該精益求精,但你已經盡力了,認識到這點至關重要。
9.抵制完美主義。要做到這點並非易事!若你只滿足於已有的知識,你就不會接受新的東西。
10.盡情去玩吧,享受生活的樂趣!創造本身也是一種遊戲。當你做自己喜歡的事,陶醉在快樂中時,你就找到了創造力的最佳表達。
