<div class="bbWrapper">Creativity emerges out of pain, boredom and fear (I know...).<br />
<br />
The reason people are not creative anymore is because they are not bored enough. As soon as we are, we take our phones out which provide us with unlimited entertainment. The brain is constantly stimulated which does not help it <i>create out of nothing, </i>which is what creativity is. <br />
<br />
If you wish to be more creative, empty your head, go for a walk, go to the forest, change your environment and <b>let your thoughts be. </b><br />
<br />
I have seen some advising to take substances to become creative. I don't recommend it. It's like taking alcohol to get over a breakup. You risk becoming dependent on it.<br />
<br />
If you want to access parts of your brain you normally don't have access to awake, you can imitate Edison. Edison noticed that he was extremely creative in his dreams, so he designed a system that would wake him up as he was falling asleep in order to write all the ideas that were in his head at that moment. <br />
<br />
To do so, he'd fall asleep in a balancing chair with coins in his hand. As he fell asleep, his hand would extend, the coins would fall and wake him up. <br />
<br />
No, if you are as insane as I am, you can also restrict all dopamine-triggering activities (this will boost your brain). <br />
I have experienced with <b>extreme creativity </b>when I went on "no dopamine weeks". I would cut off sugar, porn, masturbation, social media (in fact, screen consumption altogether), news, alcohol, coffee, weed, cigarettes, etc.... I gained super-human energy and creativity, and was relentless. <br />
<br />
Jordan Peterson pretends not everyone can be creative. I call it BS. Creativity runs in our genes. If you're not creative, it is because you're doing something that is blocking your creativity.</div>
