How to Be More Creative | Jim Kwik 

writing continuously without a break for atleast 1hr is a way of becoming creative

1)Write journaling 2)Walking 3)Spend time with nature 4)Morning shower

Being more intentional with my thoughts daily - walking, in the shower, waking up, becoming more aware of my thoughts, and changing them to be more intentional with my creative ideas

the one that that worked for me when it comes to creativity is JUST GET STARTED: just start what you are working on, take it one step at a time, once u are done with that bit take a moment, zone out for a bit while thinking about ur next move, take a look at it and see the different possibilities you can go about the next step and keep that flow going until you are done BONUS: another thing i do is listen to retro synthwave type beats with no lyrics, those types of music that play in movies when the character is in a deep work session i.e Tony Stark, these put your brain in a state of awareness

Thanks Jim! When I walk in the mornings I try not to think. That way I notice birds, houses, flora, sounds, clouds, the light - and anything else sensory. Very grateful for these provocations!

Thank you, this was really valuable. I want to walk more often and keep a notebook next to my bed, so I can write about my dreams immediately.

Definitely one about setting an intention or kind of an obsession before going to sleep whether to solve a problem or be more creative in other aspect of life.

Thank you!. I'll try journaling in the morning, instead of picking up my phone. That's an unhealthy habit I have that I wish to change. Thanks!

Love your tips!! Setting an intention to dream is the one take away I'll use today.

I was doing a hundred day discipline where I cut down most of social media, cafe, and all fast food and games. That period is about to end (91 days, which was successful). So I want to try out a new 100 days relaxing myself, cutting down almost all the negativities/anxieties I harbor, enjoying life, and just slowly loosen myself. The next 100 days I want to go creative mode, get in that theta wave, let go of all worries and free me of all the drudge I wasn’t able to get rid of the past 100 days. I realized that I was a “problem-solving” oriented guy. I work best when there’s a specific mission and objective answers. Which sort of shook me because my goal was always of a creative type. So the next hundred days I’m going to let all that analytic “destroy the problem” side of me go, and just relax, chill, do not worry too much, and allow my naturally creative side to take root. Let what is, is, give my soul some well needed rest, take walks, and retake up that dream log. And most of all, I will stop judging my artworks. I’m just gonna regress back to my childhood when it comes to making stuff up and just doing things for it’s own sake. This should be fun. Thank you for the inspiration.

Thank you for your guidance and methods for sharing the information. I appreciate your energy.

I discovered that most of the answers i have had to difficult questions come when I am not actually 'thinking' ! That points to the fact that calmness or rather the state of being 'present' is the most creative state for a human being.

Thank you! Great confirmation about journaling. Writing gratitude journal first thing in the morning helps me to set positive intentions for the day as well as to transform negative subconscious thoughts that come up in my dreams. I will try asking positive, constructive questions before going to sleep for better dream experiences and avoiding smartphone for the first hour of the day to output ideas instead of inputting ideas. Also, take more walks & showers!

• taking shower • dance workout • writing down my thoughts, feelings, observations • writing lyrics • singing

This blew my mind 🤯 there were things I had already heard but from this angle I get it clearer and more interesting. I find my highest state of creativity so far when I limit myself to a certain space to bring out the best visual scenes and in my dreams there are also ideas that I write when I wake up and i complemented them in these states of relaxation, positivity and happiness! ✨

Such an inspiring talk! Jim Kwik's insights on unlocking creativity resonate deeply. It's amazing how simple changes in our mindset and habits can lead to more creativity. I'm excited to implement these strategies and see how they can enhance my creative thinking.

I am going to start setting intentions before bed, thanks friend!🙏🏼😊🙏🏼

Thanks Jim Kwik ❤

Being more present and allowing my self just to be free allows for me to be creative

Thank you so much Jim. This thing I always asked myself I am a university student but I don't see any creativity In me so as to compete with the outside world. But with the 3 things you have spoken about I will start with knowing what l actually want to be creative in.

Thank you for coming up with such informative videos. I have always thought that I wasn't given the "gift" of creativity but after watching this video it has changed. I want to try out to set the intention to be creative in my dreams 💪🏾

writing and observation helped me a lot in becoming creative and innovator , helped me becoming an artist i do poetry , have short film ideas , have written tons of rap songs already . and thanks kwik for your concerns

Thankyou. I've been drawing since I was small and I realized my creativity has lowered. Thank you.

THANK YOU, YOU ARE AWESOME....

Thank you. Journaling gives me answers I never thought i could hve. Il do that at least 2 times a week for the sake of consistency

Thank you 🙏 ❤

Getting into the flow state more often.

I get motivated to know more on the subject I am interested in. Thanks.

Thank u this was very useful.

This is so interesting,I just love you Kim kwik

Amazing and helpful episode 🙏🏻🌹✨

Definitely a gold content!

I really enjoy walking along the beach.

wow the thing about showers is really true! I've always wondered what it is about showers and so many ideas coming into my head, It does change your state.

This was so helpful thank you

I would start to ask a question before i sleep and journal in the morning, i would schedule more time walking. I am going to share this to others

Awesome Jim. For me taking walks in the afternoon or night in nature help me to be in that state.

IVE BEEN LOOKING ALL OVER FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS. Wow this is crazy. Especially with the thing about Alpha waves being increased with television consumption.

Watching self-improvement videos every day helps to kickstart my Theta state 😄

Thanks ❤

ขอบคุณค่ะอาจารย์ค่ะ❤

Hoping to be able to come up with a very funny ventriloquism routine for my look alike puppet. I’m getting old yet have a strong desire to entertain. Love these videos. Thank you for them!

Getting into the alpha state through meditation, then finding ideas for my blog.

Potential demand of the future is CREATIVITY. Find in gaps by observing 360view. Great work like all time

Thank u for the lesson. I like questions and solutions, I see creativity as a simple thing - see what others have done in similar situation then transform it to apply for urs. The more u do that the easier the "transforming" process is of course just like any other skill . But thinking creatively I cannot control my focus. I feel like everybody has it better then me. Would prefer to be half half :)

Thank you for this, Jim! One thing I can definitely do to cultivate more creativity is spend the first hour after I wake up remembering and recording my dreams and other creative thoughts.

More running/walking should absolutely open up new portals for me !

Dance & move before I sit down & write. :) Thank you!

I learn that taking a stone on hand could let me stay in the state Alpha, sometime while I am very late sleep my mind will turn very fast while I am trying to sleep. It can be word and also can be visualization. I also like one advice from you that's ask myself an important question before I asleep. Ask question than could get the answer this always be the reminder to me from today, Jim Kwik thanks so much and you give me so much inspiration for me to achieve my goal become a great teacher in Malaysia 💙💙💙

sketching whatever u remeber or constantlt trying diffrent sketching techniques is my way of improving creativity

Amazing! Thanks sir🙂

Sir Love from India. You are doing grate job just by watching your videos my thought process change and coming to the question i Make mind map to improve my creativity.... Sir Atlast i have a req plz meet sandeep maheshwari sir..

Very informative video! Putting a creative mind to use is brilliant. If you’re sitting in a meeting and there’s ideas, use your initiative and say what comes to mind. Everyone has different opinions, agree or disagree. Try and think outside of the box as well. World peace is the answer to everything.

❤❤🎉Thank you sir

my intention would be, to bite the bullet and tidy up and sort out my crafting space for more creativity BUT ironically it is the creative side of me that got the space in the mess it is in now. my goal is to reach my own potential and to embrace my talent and do something worthwhile with it. Thank you for the advice but, i have to say, i talk to myself in my head every night with intention and as yet i have not found the answers. i will not give up as i am very determined to conquer this. Thank you Jim. x

I'll put my journal and pen next to my pillow, so I can journal dreams and creative ideas in the morning, review the day at night, plan for the future, and remember to set the intention to dream

I think going outside really enhances creativity and observing different things

I watched this video to become more creative for an assignment I have to do for school, I love the idea of theta state I will sleep on it and hopefully I will wake up tomorrow with a great idea for my assignment as I am currently in an alpha state watching this video.

Wooooow 😌 ❤️ ☺️😊

1st here. ready to boost my creativity

Thankyou sir... I can use divergent thinking technique on daily basis to develop creativity

By reading all my dreams from my journal and capturing notes that stand out in them

Looking at greek painting gives me a lot of creative ideas

52k views ? wtf ... glad I am here to learn. Thank you Jim.

in my view , creativity is not a weight you can increase or decrease; it is a path or part of life but this creativity as a part of life needs refreshment and I would like to refresh my self washing my face, dancing, reading novel, being busy means not facilating much time in unwanted sectors like television and extra

I'll try the Journal method, Thanks :)

The captivating masterpiece, "Sapta Sagaradache Ello," has left an indelible mark on my mind, prompting profound reflections on the extraordinary capabilities of the human mind in crafting cinematically majestic experiences. This enlightening film not only transported me to realms of cinematic wonder but also unveiled the intricate collaboration of the brilliant minds behind the scenes - the writer, director, and actor - orchestrating a symphony of creativity that deserves heartfelt appreciation.

I need to walk more thank you do much😊

To be more creative I want to put less judgement or expectations on what creativity looks like, I have creative endeavors that I am interested in and sometimes I think I am hard on myself because I feel I am not fulfilling those specific endeavors. This causes me to think I am not creative in general even though there are plenty other things such as conversation, rock climbing, etc. where I am creative in my solutions. Creativity is limitless and has no name, no expectations, I need to just appreciate the fact that it is accessible regardless of what it looks like and at what quantity I am accessing it!

talk to myself makes me more creative cause I feel like discovering parts I didn't thought of

for me I feel like I am in a playful mode and creative when I am doing photography and capturing moments that will stay with me forever. Another thing I think that forces me to be more creative is coming up with content for my video platforms. I just had one question. I don't dream as much as I used to and I was wondering if there were things I could possibly do before going to bed to have creative dreams. Thanks for this video

Drawing is one way that seems to cultivate my creativity. 🖼️

Power to ask the right questions.

So wild that you mentioned about taking a shower. I often think of ideas, to-dos, grocery items while in the shower. A couple years ago, I put an Alexa device in my bathrooms so I can instantly offload and record these things. “Alexa, add talk to Julie about ideation session to my To Do list.”

THANK YOU JIM IM MORE CREATIVE IN MY DREAMS END I DREAM ALOT

I find sitting on the porch first thing in the morning, taking in the sounds, sights and smells helps.

I definitely think a good way of becoming more creative is learning another language. Haven’t done it yet but I’m interested in learning Spanish.

i would keep in touch in nature in first hour of the day

Start to journal every morning

Wonderful. Writing. Filming.

Mindfulness helps too

Great video Jim! Creativity is going through an amazing transformation. Artificial intelligence will allow people to create the soundtracks of their life. All artist today should be conscious of this one fact. We need to teach artificial intelligence what it means to be a human being!

How can i be more creative? Exposure to new experiences, ideas, cognitions, nature places. Mixing components together. Having fun.

I listern to healing sounds to be more creative. Sometimes I work harder than usual

I don't know what I am going to do to be more creative (yet) but I am going to think about a problem I want to solve before going to sleep. :)

working out helps you with getting new ideas

Thanku 🤗

i could go swiming it really calms my mind

Getting ideas in the shower is why I have a small "Write in the Rain" notebook and a pencil in my shower enclosure...I got tired of losing song lyric ideas!

Artistic journaling, learned from some U tube videos

Drinking coffee and being in the library to be in state of creativity.

Will set my intention to resolve a problem before bed. When I wake up I’ll write my dream.

I want to start Journaling and doing the intention thing before I go to sleep

taking walks are underrated

Writing Our thoughts !

Long Walk lonely , Creative 👍

❤

I think going to the gym doing a work out with any music are television on. Then hitting the sauna and jacuzzi will help with creativity. Or walking the streets at 3:00 AM in the rain.

Sir , It's better to use green or blue colour in background.And thanks a lot making videos.

I think one way to become more creative is to force yourself into uncomfortable situations. Within reason of course. If you spend too much time in what you're comfortable with then you're limiting your brain to what you may already know, try new practices, talk to new people, perhaps even have a healthy amount of solitude and step away from the world you're so used to so frequently and just sit with your thoughts, let them wander, see where they take you and what new perspectives you gain from further reflection on the circumstances, people, and situations around you.
