Creativity is worth its weight in gold, even if it sometimes makes us stand out or be different from others. Maybe it's our unusual taste in fashion, or maybe we're confused and dreamy in our creative chaos. However, this does not mean that we are any less valuable. We just do certain things and see them differently.
It may sound strange, but sometimes it seems to many that every day we are more immersed in our own a small creative world, consisting of letters, words, cloth, scissors, thread, sheets of paper, clay, crayons, crayons and other little things that make us do some things differently than other people.
Yes creativity works in mysterious and often completely contradictory directions, the journalist concluded Carolyn Gregoire, who has written extensively on it article. She relied on both scientific research and the opinions of psychologists, as well as literature, in which she discovered many interesting things. She found that creative thinking in some personalities defines character, but it can also change in a certain situation. Inspirations and ideas that often come out of nowhere can backfire when we need them most.
Imaginative people have messy thoughts
Scientists are realizing that creativity is much more complicated, as the simple separation between the left and right halves of the brain tells us - the left side of the brain is more rational and analytical, while the right side is more creative and emotional. In reality, creativity is supposed to involve many cognitive processes and emotions, so we still don't have a very clear picture of how our imaginative mind really works.
Psychologically speaking, creative personality types are difficult to pinpoint, mainly because they are complex, paradoxical and love each other they avoid habits and routines. So it is not just a stereotype of artists that they are special, unusual and sometimes distracted. They really are more complicated people. Indeed, research shows that creativity includes a set of many qualities, behaviors and social influences of a certain person. "Actually, it is quite difficult for creative people to know themselves, because the creative self is much more complicated than the non-creative self", the psychologist told The Huffington Post Scott Barry Kaufman from New York University, who has been researching creativity for many years. "The things that stand out the most are the paradoxes of the creative self... imaginative people just have messy minds".
Although there are no "typical" creative types of people, as Gregoire has researched, there are some characteristics and behaviors, shown by highly creative people:
1. They often daydream.
2. They keep a watchful eye on their surroundings.
3. They create when it suits them best.
4. They take time to be alone.
5. They turn life's obstacles upside down.
6. They are constantly on the hunt for new experiences.
7. They experience failures, which do not stop them, but drive them forward.
8. They constantly ask questions and are curious.
9. They watch people.
10. They take risks.
11. They see life as an opportunity for self-expression.
12. They follow their true passion.
13. They go beyond their limits.
14. When they are in their world of creation, they forget about time.
15. They surround themselves with beauty.
16. They connect things.
17. They constantly change things because they don't like monotony.
18. They take time to relax, time to think.
