What are the first five words that come to mind when you think about your personal qualities? Your leading qualities can be negative as well as positive. You may be too controlling, but also kind. Be honest.
Now that you have your attributes in mind, look to see whether "creative" is among them. If it isn't, add it to who you say you are.
Identity is largely fiction anyway, so revise your personal story to make "creative" one of the first things you say about yourself.
What will happen when you live in the belief that you're creative and can ask at any time, "What's a creative way of relating to this problem?"
Take a minute to think about creative ways of approaching an issue that's making you unhappy. How does taking a creative approach help you solve the problem so you can be happier?
A poster hanging in an office of a friend says it all. "Are you in a rut? Be a revolutionary. Think creatively!"
By becoming a more creative person you'll become a happier one. Why? Creativity is fun!
Next, try "The Ten Commitments" for growing happiness or "The Happiness Prayer".
