100 Ways to Elevate Your Creativity

Over the last four years I have become more and more fascinated by creativity and how it can be accessed, utilised and expressed. When I first started coaching I wanted to be a health and wellness coach. It seemed like a nice vibey type thing to do and was in line with my values so I thought ‘Yeah, why not, I’m going to give this a shot’. 

Over time though, I have found more and more my clients are all really creative humans. And I don’t mean creative in that they are all artists or writers, it is something that flourishes within them in so many different ways and I believe it does in all of it. 

I have become so interested in it, and I am such a research nerd, that I have researched so many ways of elevating our creativity – finding ways to get into creative flow, to do deep work, and to really use the time we have in the day to our advantage so that we are able to get into our creative zone when we need to. 

I have read a ridiculous amount of books on creativity, listened to hours and hours of podcasts, read blog posts, journal articles, watched videos and just generally been very interested in all things creativity. 

It was with that in mind that I thought it would be a wonderful idea to share with you 100 Ways to Elevate Creativity. These tips are based on four years of research, coaching, and my own creative process. 

I have also created a wonderful free Desktop Wallpaper Download to go with it with 100 Ways to Elevate Your Creativity. Download your free desktop wallpaper by clicking the image below (and read the full list below the image).
