00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.620
Everyone can be creative whether you realize it or not

00:00:03.980 --> 00:00:06.920
A lot of people tend to think that creativity is binary

00:00:07.060 --> 00:00:09.960
Either you have it or you don´t, but

00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:12.360
in reality, we do  all have it, it´s just a matter of

00:00:12.860 --> 00:00:16.020
how you interpret it, you know, some people think

00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.100
I´m not an artist, so I don´t used creativity at work

00:00:19.100 --> 00:00:22.020
but it´s more than just artistic expression

00:00:22.020 --> 00:00:25.140
Whether you are working in  retail

00:00:25.300 --> 00:00:28.345
or in a office job or even if you´re a professional athlete

00:00:28.345 --> 00:00:31.325
You´re probably using creativity

00:00:31.325 --> 00:00:34.115
to make decisions and solve problems on the daily bases

00:00:34.120 --> 00:00:35.120
 

00:00:35.780 --> 00:00:38.920
Creativity is both a skill and a process

00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:41.895
something you can learn, and like any other skill

00:00:41.900 --> 00:00:44.785
It´s something you can get better at if you practice

00:00:44.785 --> 00:00:45.820
and repeated use

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:49.180
Now you might think well I don´t have time

00:00:49.180 --> 00:00:51.440
to sit down and create something everyday

00:00:51.720 --> 00:00:54.660
This is where it's important to realize the difference between

00:00:54.665 --> 00:00:57.460
using creativity and actually

00:00:57.465 --> 00:01:00.640
creating something. You know in a lot of ways creativity

00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.660
is all about how you see things, so

00:01:03.660 --> 00:01:06.340
yeah you can use it to create poems

00:01:06.340 --> 00:01:09.475
or paintings, but you can also use it in

00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:12.445
practical ways like coming up with an alternate solutions

00:01:12.445 --> 00:01:13.740
for a work project

00:01:14.140 --> 00:01:18.680
or organizing things in your home, so the next time you think

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.560
I´m not creative or I´m not as creative as some other people

00:01:23.160 --> 00:01:25.840
take a step back and really take a look at

00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:28.200
what is it you do on a day to day basis

00:01:28.860 --> 00:01:32.240
You might be surprised that how often you´re using creativity

00:01:35.320 --> 00:01:37.940
