One of the best ways to boost and supercharge your creativity and get inspired is to take in as much stimuli as possible. Go for a walk, watch a movie, read a book, browse through photos, and get your hands on anything to help you learn something new. Becoming more creative is just like training a specific muscle group: the more you work at it, the stronger it gets. The same goes for creativity. By exposing yourself to creative works and surrounding yourself with creative people you’ll start to notice yourself thinking outside the box and coming up with unique ideas of your own.
