Very informative informative, creative site. Thanks for the super articles! As adults, we often loose fascination with our imagination because many of us are taught that imagining is a waste of time. However, without the magic of imagination, new creation would cease to be. Blessings to you and yours!

I used to have a very active mind. LatelyI experience burnout due to fatgue and lack of sleep. Thanks for posting this so I can put myself back on track.

I like the saying that there is less creativity in the arts than in the life itself,it is absolutely amazing show-the personal life of the individual,it is better when he is a director of the show.

Thanks Jade and Jonathan, nice to see your thoughts and added summary comments. Keep coming back!!

HIB, so do you think the experience needs to be before the creativity, or the creativity before the experience? (Could resist that chicken and egg question).

I’m not sure about the quote. Travel is definitely one way to broaden your horizons but there are many really.

Cool post! I think the more things that we can do, travel accomplish, experience, the more creative we can be.

I really like this quote:
The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. –St. Augustine

@Karen – thanks for adding your comments lately, I’m happy to see you exploring my site here!

@Mohit – Thanks for mentioning these extra techniques, I was thinking of course just of the most common ones, but these may be great to explore as well once I do some research.

@Hayli – What recession? Isn’t that just each person’s perspective? OK, I’m just kidding, but I do think you are right in that people’s fears block creativity. The same thing has created much of the recession, I for one contribute none of that fear to it. I’ll stick to keeping my mind open and creativity progressing no matter what others think.

Mind mapping is definitely a great tool for creative processes as well and often works very well with brainstorming. I’ve used it many times and map my blog posts out in mind maps often.

Great post, and very timely, as creativity is required to plug through this recession. Fear is obviously one of the greatest blockades to creativity – fear of taking risks, fear of consequences, fear of failure or ridicule, etc. As for stimulating creativity, has anyone had any success with mind mapping? Just curious.
