• Expand Experience and Knowledge

Intuition comes from information received by our brain and stored as subconscious memory.

When we encounter a problem, our brain digs up the information that best matches the problem. Where is the brain digging for information? Of course in the subconscious mind, where memory is stored.

After the brain finds the information that best matches the problem, the brain conveys it to our conscious mind. Now, by our conscious mind, that information can be used as a source of ideas to solve the problems we are facing.

The question is, where does the brain receive information? The answer, of course, from the events we experience, we see, we feel, hear, or even learn. The things around us, events, our ideas and other people's ideas are sources of information that can be captured by our brain.

So, the more events we experience, the more our experience, the more we learn, the stronger our intuition. In turn, the stronger our intuition is, the more creative we are because many ideas come into our minds.

Experience is not only limited to work experience and business experience. You can multiply the experience by trying different dishes, which you have never felt before. Or, go to places you've never visited. Get used to paying attention to the details of the events or objects you see. Who knows, an idea arises from a trivial thing that you don't normally care about.

• Reflect on your experience

In addition to increasing experience, to be creative, you also need to reflect on those experiences.

Why? Because reflection makes the experience more readily accessible when you need it. In addition, reflecting on your experiences encourages you to observe what really happened.

There are many ways to reflect on your experience. One of them is by discussing it with other people.

• Look for more than one solution

One of the things that distinguishes creative people from those who are less creative is the way they find a breakthrough or solution.

People who think creatively always look for as many solutions as possible to one type of problem. He also always views the problem not only from one perspective. Creative people always have a lot of consideration about a particular problem.

Conversely, people who are less creative tend to see problems only from one perspective. He will quickly come to a conclusion once he faces a problem. In fact, there are still many solutions or breakthroughs that can be found if only he deliberately seeks new breakthroughs, new ways to approach the problem.

• Combination play

We can find creativity in lego games. A number of lego pieces that have no meaning at all when they stand alone will change meaningfully when we combine them with each other.

We can assemble it into a car, doll, palace or plane.

In the same way as when we assemble lego, which is playing combination, we can become more creative.

Lego playing skills are almost similar to cooking skills. What is needed in cooking skills is perseverance in trying various combinations.

Well, as far as various cuisines are seen as a result of creativity, it can be concluded that playing combination is one way to achieve creativity.

When you want to build a business, reflect on and imagine the various combinations that might make profit.

• See Problems from Various Views

Creative people always see a problem from various points of view. That point of view gives him various alternatives or breakthroughs to overcome the problems he faces.

Have you ever watched an ad on TV, where in the ad a small child was impressed by the image of a lion. The child is symbolized as a smart and creative child. But, do you know why he is smart and creative? Because he can make a work that is interesting and different from the works of other children his age.

What I emphasize from the advertisement is the way the child sees a picture of a lion. Unlike his peers, he uses two points of view to see the picture, which is to see it perpendicularly and see it in reverse.

From these two points of view, he can see two different images. When he saw the picture perpendicularly, he found a picture of a tiger. Meanwhile, when he saw the picture upside down, he faced the image of a rabbit.

Now, from his experience seeing an image from two points of view, he also had the idea to draw lions and rabbits similar to the picture he saw. He makes the image in such a way that when the image stands upright, the person who sees it will find a picture of the lion. When the picture is reversed, the person who sees it will find a picture of the rabbit.

Very creative, right? Well, you can also be creative like that child. The key, by looking at a problem from various points of view.

• Visualization or ​​Simulation

Visualization means to imagine. Build habits to visualize. This habit means, you are used to imagining and practicing what you see, hear, feel, and what you learn and read from books.

Also make it a habit to visualize or simulate your ideas or plans.

Visualizing ideas we often do when we play chess. Before we move, we almost always consider (imagine) first whether the step is right or not. Does taking that step not endanger our position? Or, just the opponent we can take steps to do a mat? We will also imagine, what benefits will we get from taking that step.

If you find it difficult to visualize, describe your ideas and plans on paper. Describe the combinations that appear in your mind.

Motivation is indeed a very rare item. We often lose themselves when we need them. Motivation loss can be caused by various factors. Motivation can be lost when we don't have a clear goal. Motivation can also be lost when we are too depressed in doing a job. Likewise when we have absolutely no idea, we can lose motivation because of it.

When you don't have an idea, which is why you lose motivation, don't fret and upset. There are still many ways you can do to rediscover your motivation.

Most importantly, don't give up finding ways.
