3 Hacks to take away
- Creativity is a Spectrum: Everyone has creative potential, and it’s not limited to artistic talents. By understanding and nurturing creativity, individuals can overcome limitations and achieve higher performance in personal and professional life.
- The Power of the Creative Flip: Transform negative situations into opportunities by immediately shifting perspective, brainstorming solutions, and focusing on potential growth rather than dwelling on challenges.
- Raising Your Vibration: Creativity thrives when you “lighten up” (LTF – Lighten the F* Up), increase your energy levels, and learn to bypass negative thought patterns that restrict your creative flow.
