Lately I’ve been feeling pretty shitty. So, as I was browsing the Internet, I fell upon this awesome article by the good fellows over at Copyblogger.

Three Easy Ways To Expand Your Creativity

It’s not that long of an article, and after reading it, I felt really good. Being able to think like a kid is probably one of the best things anyone can do. Here’s the three points in case you don’t feel like moving over to the site:

1. Connect the DotsFind connections between seemingly unrelated concepts, such as a cardboard box and copywriting.
2. Change Your PerspectivePut yourself on the other side of an argument, or imagine yourself as a spectator. Even more wild, what would the world be like from the perspective of a small child, or even a paper clip?
3. Switch ModalityIf you tend towards the visual, attempt to think in terms of words and feelings. Writers habitually emphasize words so grab some crayons and draw instead. Logical left-brain people might spend time daydreaming to gain a fresh perspective, while intuitive right-brain people might try to solve a complex puzzle.

So, I think I’m going to start throwing these things into my daily life and see how things turn out.
