You can improve them by starting to vary your routines. Try turning off the TV, tablets, and phone. Immerse yourself in thought, meditation, physical activity, and relaxation. Journal about your new daily experiences, no matter how small or inconsequential they might seem

Think about things you usually don't wonder about. Add your own lyrics to music you hear. Make a sketch of a dress as if you were a designer. Try writing a short haiku or poem. Write a short imaginative story.

Expert Answer

You expand your creativity by going outside of your comfort zone. Try new things. Take a class at a local school, community center, or community college. Don't worry if you know nothing about the topic—the purpose of doing it is to expand your horizons and your creativity.

Stimulate your imagination by listening to music, reading poetry or fiction, trying new hobbies, or going to a museum of your choosing. Try keeping a journal.
