The First 3 Secrets to Boosting Your Creativity Many left-brained people may think that they are incapable of being creative. That is not true. Here's three simple things you can do to boost your creativity.

Creating to be Authentic We can create as a way to gain a more intimate understanding and fuller expression of our true self. Getting beyond or "bypassing" intellectual restrictions on our creativity can be a matter of shifting our attitude.

Creativity can flourish more when it is part of our whole being as a person, in the flow of life, and not just a "segment" we do when we "get the time."
