  • A strong imagination unlocks an avenue through which creative expression can flow. Having an imagination helps with expressing yourself. With an imagination and a creative eye you're able to express yourself in a unique and special way through fun activities like painting, performing, playing, writing, etc.

How to ideas to building a stronger imagination and a creative eye.

1) Invest in a dream journal. A notebook where you can write into it every morning after sleeping. Most of the BEST ideas come to us while we are asleep because it has been scientifically proven that while we're sleeping our subconcious mind is awake; this is essentially what dreams are. The subconcious is the part of our brain in between our concious, active mind and our unconcious mind is where we store our long-term memory facilities.
2) Carry a small pocket notebook around with you everywhere you go. The greatest men and women in history carry a notebook around everywhere they go, men like Leonardo Da Vinci and Albert Einstein. You never know when an itching new and fresh idea may pop up inside your head. Having a notebook handy can be VERY helpful to jot dot so you won't forget the idea later. Inspiration can come to you from life in so many forms and ways and having the tools ready is essential.
3) Trying changing up your routine. If you normally do something the same on a consistent basis it becomes a habit essentially which leaves no thought; it becomes muscle memory. However if you change it up and do something different from what you're use to, then you're forcing your brain to think and adjust to unforseen circumstances. This change in routine is helping you to exercise those problem-solving skills thus improving your creativity and imagination.
4) Explore a new place go and be around imaginative/creative individuals more. Sometimes all it takes is a new environment to pike up those dusty thinking caps. Imagination and creativity can come from nature and being around other creative people. You're brain is like a sponge, just being around others who have a certain quality you're wanting to cultivate can improve your imagination. As you observe somebody you're essentially learning from them; it's how we learn as children, imitate those around us. Just have fun with it! You might suprise yourself.
