Getting bored? Got nothing to do? There's always something to look forward to! Creativity.

That's the name of the game. This is a part of the brain that never tires, ages or weakens. But if we don't use it, which is nearly impossible, we can lose it.

There are many things we can do to enhance our creativity and it isn't a tedious job like working out mathematical or mental problems.

Developing our minds can be relaxing, fun, exciting and also useful. There are many advantages to developing this trait.

There are many small activities which promote creativity. Remember that "every useless idea is waiting for its usefulness to be discovered." This can be done time and time again by using this skill.

Think positively! Everything you want to achieve is possible, so do it using creativity. Never throw away an idea; develop it to make it better.

Focus on potential not flaws.

Correcting minor errors can result in loss of practical thinking. You can always come back to the flaws later, which is good, since then you might come up with something to add to your work.

Creativity is limitless. You learn from your mistakes and use them as guidance.

Appreciate what you have. Don't try to reach for the stars.

Remember, creativity is more than a skill, it's the skill of philosophy and a life-long attitude.

Not every idea is successful, but making a good attempt with each idea is what you're aiming at. Failures need to be seen as learning opportunities and potential stepping stones to assure success in the future. Have a go at it. You've got nothing to lose! Yours, Auntie Imelda
