Create a Mind Map

Sometimes the only thing you need to do is to just write down whatever comes to your mind on paper and go from there. There’s no better way of doing this than the tried and tested method of creating a mind map.

You’d be surprised at how easy it is to get inspiration from just writing down whatever words you can think of that are related to your central idea. Seeing it all laid out in front of you can help you to make connections that you might not have been able to see previously.

Listen to Music

Whether it’s one of your favourite tunes or something entirely new, putting on music can help stimulate your thought process. As we mentioned in one of our previous blogs, creating an atmosphere to put you at ease is vital in making sure that you are thinking as creatively as possible.

A Change of Scenery

Sometimes all you need is to stretch your legs. Go for a walk in the park, take a half-hour bike ride or just look out the window for longer, getting out might be just what you need to come up with a brilliant idea.

Getting some fresh air and getting away from all your devices gives your mind a well-deserved break and allows it to come back reinvigorated and ready to take a fresh look at something.

Staying Relaxed

Perhaps the most important tip on this list is making sure that you aren’t stressed about your work. It’ll just make it more difficult for you to gain inspiration. Taking regular breaks is essential to stop you from burning out.

Do an activity that you personally find relaxing, like reading a chapter of a book you’re into, watching an episode of your favourite series, or even meditating for half an hour. As long as it’s something you enjoy, then it will help you go back with a positive mindset.
