Creativity is deceiving. On the one hand, we are all born creatives. Our mind is wired to be creative. It is programmed with the core skills — our creative muscles — required to explore, discover, wonder, imagine and create a new reality. These statements are backed up by research, but it is enough to watch children play and create to see the foundations of Creativity in action.
On the other hand, Creativity cannot be turned on and off with a flip of a switch. Most of us are far less creative as adults than we were as kids. It is a gradual decline that is never apparent in real-time. When we do need to be creative — when we face a real challenge that calls for an innovative solution, or when an opportunity we should actively seize and follow passes by — our creative muscles might not be in optimal shape. Like our physical muscles, if we don’t use our creative skills regularly, they will degenerate.
To realize our creative potential, Creativity must be practiced daily. Children do it naturally. The rest of us need to actively play and shake the dust off from our creative muscles to turn Creativity back into a natural habit. This is our mission at seempli: to help you get back in creative shape and maintain it. And what’s better than to do that together?
Today we are launching Daily Creativity — a daily blog designed as your personal Creativity trainer. Every day we post one playful, creative activity based on the seempli platform. With it, we include our take on the challenge, how we’ve played, and what we have created to guide and inspire you. All you have to do is plan to play every day — pick the challenge and have tons of fun.
As always, our Creativity games are 100% open-ended, which means you cannot go wrong. Whatever you come up with is excellent, as long as you had fun (and come back the next day for a new, surprising challenge).
So, set a daily reminder and visit DailyCreativity.co. You can also subscribe to our Telegram channel for daily updates.
Ready? Let’s play! Be creative!
