How to be more CREATIVE

1. TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME "When you go left instead of right," says Julia Cameron, author of the best seller 'The Artist's Way', you will force your brain to wake up and and pay attention to details you can draw upon later.
2. SLEEP IN when you are sleeping, your mind has a chance to sort through new information and draw expected connections. Then, settle in for a nap and you may wake up to a bright idea.
3. EXPOSE YOURSELF to keep your ideas bubbling, seek out new experience. To start, hit a craft or do any thing you like.
4. PRICK UP YOUR EARS ambient noise helps distance you from what you are working on, enough so it is easier to think outside the box. Thus, when it is dead quiet, you are likely to less creative.
