"Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the things you can think up if you only try!"

Dr. Seuss is an incredible example of incorporating creativity in daily life. His literary inventions of Whoville, the Lorax, and green eggs and ham are just a few examples of his ability to create worlds and characters unlike any other.

As a child, it is easy to be creative. We are constantly making new things that were never there before. Whether it's a colorful drawing, an exciting story or a new dance move, kids are always exercising imagination.

But somewhere along the line, you grow up. School gets harder, playtime gets shorter and your imagination might be replaced with a lengthy to-do list. As adults, it's easy to overlook creativity because you already have so much to balance in your life. Why would it be important to return to your childhood imagination?

Creativity is not reserved only for kids. In fact, when adults take breaks for out-of-the-box playtime, it can help them relax, connect with others and feel rejuvenated when they return to work. After a long day, camping out in front of the television and shutting off your brain might be tempting. However, creative activities can recharge you much better than mindless television or video games. The video gives some great insight for creative activities. Here are 20 ideas for increasing personal creativity.

Creative environment

"It's amazing the clarity that comes to a person once they grab hold of their creative 'mojo,'" said creative adult coach Trevor O. Weaver. "I've had many students tell me that they feel like they can create or conquer anything."

You absolutely can conquer anything. The world is waiting for your influence, so get out there and see what you can create.
