Just take a moment of pause and let creativity spark inside you.
Everything you’re looking for—your creativity, your passion, your growth—is already there. You’re just not paying enough attention.
Let’s go back in time, back when we were kids. Life felt easier. We were more aware, always experimenting, trying things just to see how they worked.
When we were learning to walk, we fell a hundred times, but we were never afraid of falling. Later, we fell off our cycles, scraped our knees, and still got back up. Eventually, we learned how to ride.
So, what changed?
Back then, we were fully present in the moment. We walked while actually walking—counting stairs, swinging on pillars, noticing every little thing.
But somewhere along the way, we stopped enjoying the small moments. We got too busy. Now, when we walk, our minds are somewhere else. Scrolling on our phones. Thinking about work. Worrying about things that haven’t even happened yet.
And with that, we lost something important—our creativity.
Ever wonder how brilliant ideas happen?
One of the oldest and most well-known stories is about Archimedes’ legendary “Eureka!” moment. He wasn’t sitting at a desk brainstorming ideas.
He was taking a bath. That’s when he made a groundbreaking discovery—what we now call the Archimedes Principle.
The point? Creativity doesn’t come when you’re forcing it. It comes when you allow it.
So, how do you bring it back?
Taking a pause isn’t just another task to check off your to-do list. It’s a habit. Start making small reminders—put a keychain on your bag, wear a bracelet, change your wallpaper—anything that signals you to stop and take a moment.
And about multitasking…
I’m not saying you shouldn’t multitask. In fact, I do it all the time. But here’s my take on it:
I’m a creative writer with a job. When I hit a block on one topic, I don’t force it. I take a pause and switch to a different topic. When I’m stuck there too, I move back to the first one. Sounds simple, right? But here’s the magic—when I return, my mind is refreshed. The problem that felt impossible before now has new solutions.
That’s the right way to multitask. Instead of overwhelming yourself, you’re giving your creativity the space to breathe.
Try this:
Next time you’re walking—just walk. Look around. Notice things. When you tie your shoelaces, don’t just do it—adjust them, make them look good. Small details matter.
When you bring this awareness into your daily life, you’ll see a shift. Your creativity will grow, your focus will get better, and your problem-solving will improve. All from something as simple as taking a moment of pause.
