20 things you need to know about creators

No longer arguing, the neuroscience department confirmed that highly creative people often think and act differently than the rest. Their brains function in a unique, separate way. However, that " gift " can further strain their relationships.

If you love a highly creative person, you've probably experienced feeling like they are living in a completely different world. And the truth is that. Every effort to change them almost doesn't work, you can only try to understand them.

So are highly creative people different from ordinary people? To understand them, you must learn how to look at things through their prism and remember the following 20 things:

1. Their minds work continuously

The minds of highly creative people are a machine that never stops, constantly motivated by intense curiosity. This machine does not seem to have a " pause " button, as well as an "off" button. Sometimes this makes them feel tired, but it is the source of endless creativity along with " crazy, funny " and memorable stories.

2. They always ask questions

The two questions that are always in the minds of creative people are: " What if .? " And " Why can't it .?". They always ask questions about what the opposite person asserts. This can be annoying for people around but it helps them redefine what they can do.

3. They are always confident in their different creations, even when others don't think so

Creators would rather not live with themselves than integrate with people around them. Being honest with yourself, not wavering is a way to help them succeed, but it can cause misunderstandings or discomfort for others.

4. They often have difficulties at work

People with high creativity are always attracted to new things . The plans they are working on can become extremely boring when there is a more interesting project that attracts their attention.

5. Their creativity has cycles

For highly creative people, their creativity is like a rhythmic flow between cycles. Sometimes excitement and enthusiasm are extremely creative , but sometimes normal and extremely low, even almost nothing. Every cycle is essential and not to be missed, because it's like the seasons of the year.

6. They need time to nourish the soul

No one can drive a car across the country with a single filling. Therefore, creators also need time to seek inspiration and motivation. Often, they need silence for a period of time to create creative cycles.

7. They need space to create

Suitable environment is a necessary condition to promote the ultimate creativity. It could be a studio, a café or a quiet corner in the house. Wherever you are, give them a private space and respect it.

8. High concentration

When creators focus on doing something, they can ignore everything around them. They can't do many things at once and they can take 20 minutes to regroup after being interrupted, even if the interruption time is only 20 seconds.

9. They have deep feelings

Creativity is a profound expression of human emotions. You can't give away what you don't have and make people feel what you've never experienced before. One writer once said: " An artist must shout at the page if he wants everyone to hear his whisper ." Similarly, a creator needs to feel deeply about life if they want to bring that creativity to others.

10. Frustrating

Because of the deep feelings of life, creators can quickly transform from sadness to joy, even depression. Meanwhile, their sensitive heart is also an invaluable resource for the suffering they have to go through.

11. They always think and turn them into stories

The dry information can never touch people's hearts like a story. Creators, especially artists, understand this and they often turn all that they do into a story rather than just describing it nakedly and simply. They need a lot of time to explain something, but the important thing is not that they just want to explain, they want to tell a story about what they went through with their experience and understanding so that everyone more easily felt.

12. They always struggle with themselves every day

Steven Pressfield - author of " The War of Art " wrote:

" Most of us have two lives. One is to live as we live and one is to live the life we ​​have never lived in. It is a constant struggle ."

Every morning, highly creative people wake up, they always know what they need to do to promote their own development. However, they always have fear, " Fighting " as Pressfield called, they are afraid of not getting what they need. No matter how successful it is, that fear never disappears, simply learn how to live with it, or not.

13. Work is who they are

What they create often reflects themselves. Often creative people find it hard to separate their real people from work, so every critical or complimenting review of their work is very valuable.

14. Sometimes they lack confidence in themselves

This may sound paradoxical. In fact, there are times when they believe in what they create, but there are times when they doubt themselves. They always wonder: " Have they done well ?". They often compare their own works with other people's work, rarely seeing their own excellence.

15. They have very good visual sense

Creators are very hesitant people, because many people often do their job well, especially in stressful and stressful situations. They understand this, sometimes deliberately delaying to the last minute to motivate to complete the best work.

17. They are always immersed in creative flow

19. They connect dots better than others

As Steve Jobs once said: " Creativity is really a little something above the point of connecting dots ." Creators can see the model before they become clear to others.
