Creative people may have natural abilities, but they have something even more important -- habits and beliefs that support creative thought. If you adopt a few of these habits, you will boost your creativity too. Creative people usually do or believe the following: 1) Challenge accepted ways of doing things. 2) Have self-awareness for their preconceptions (biases and ways of viewing problems) and challenge them. 3) When faced with a problem, see it as a challenge, not a roadblock. 4) Are not ashamed, embarrassed, or hesitant about offering up a wild idea or solution to the group. 5) Believe in their ability to be unconventional and think "outside the box." 6) Are always willing to listen to someone's else's wild idea while suspending disbelief. 7) Set aside time to think creatively and ponder solutions. 8) Believe that if people want something bad enough, they will find the solution. 9) Are not afraid to try new things. Experimenting with and adopting these habits will lead you to more frequent and creative ideas. You will wake up with new solutions or having sudden insights out of blue. You will find more excitement in the average or ordinary day, and don't be surprised if it's you who imagines the magnificent solution to a big problem that stumps others.
