LAUGH YOUR WAY TO CREATIVITY

Eight unconventional tips to blast your creative cells into action. Best used in moments of complete creative meltdown, the mental block, artistic malfunction and utter stuck-ness.

1. HAVE A NAP – your brain does a lot of its processing and organising when you’re asleep. You will wake up overflowing with ideas

2. PAINT THE WALLS BLUE – a bit impractical but psychologists believe blue can positively affect mental performance

3. READ ALICE IN WONDERLAND – the mind makes meaning from experience, the more absurdity it comes across the harder it has to work to find meaning

4. HAVE A LAUGH – nonsense and humour are said to wake up and shake up your brain cells

5. PRACTICE MINDFULNESS – focused attention promotes divergent thinking

6. PUT THE RADIO ON – background or ambient noise can enhance creative cognition

7. WORK BY CANDLELIGHT – dim lighting encourages freedom of thought

8. IF ALL ELSE FAILS EAT CHOCOLATE – dark chocolate with a high cocoa content relieves mild cognitive impairment and will give you a boost
