Unleashing Creativity: When Lumosity Game Meets Bookish Tips and Tricks

Creativity is an elusive beast. One moment you’re brimming with ideas, the next, you’re staring at a blank page, your mind as empty as the coffee cup beside you. But what if I told you there’s a way to harness that creativity, to keep it flowing like a never-ending river? Enter Lumosity, the brain-training game, and a few bookish tips and tricks that can help you unleash your creative potential.

My Lumosity Journey: A Decade Ago

About ten years ago, I was invited to play Lumosity. Being a curious soul, I accepted the invitation, not knowing that it would transform the way I perceive creativity. The game is designed to challenge various aspects of your cognitive abilities, but what surprised me at the beginning were my high stats for Brain Flexibility.

Brain Flexibility, as the name suggests, is the ability to switch between tasks or thoughts quickly and effectively. It’s like being a mental gymnast, able to flip from one idea to another with grace and ease. Little did I know, this mental agility was the bedrock of my creativity.

The Art of Balancing: Vacation and Creativity

Fast forward to today, I’m on vacation, soaking up the sun, swimming in crystal clear waters, and taking leisurely walks. I’ve been eating healthily, trying to relax, and just breathe. Yet, even amidst this idyllic setting, I continue to work on a couple of personal projects.

You might think, “Why work when you should be relaxing?” Well, for me, creativity doesn’t take a vacation. It’s always there, like a constant companion, whispering ideas into my ear. There’s no time for Lumosity right now, but I’m eagerly looking forward to resuming my brain-training sessions in September.

Games and Creativity: Duolingo and Scrabble

In the meantime, you may still find me immersed in games like Duolingo and Scrabble. These games not only provide entertainment but also stimulate the mind. Duolingo, with its language-learning modules, helps enhance vocabulary and linguistic skills. On the other hand, Scrabble is a test of word knowledge and strategic thinking.

Unleashing Creativity: The Bookish Way

Now, let’s talk about those bookish tips and tricks to unleash creativity. Reading widely and voraciously is one of the best ways to stimulate your imagination. Each book is a window into a different world, offering fresh perspectives and insights.

Keeping a journal is another excellent practice. Jot down your thoughts, ideas, dreams, or anything that strikes your fancy. It’s like having a conversation with your inner self, exploring the depths of your mind.

Finally, never underestimate the power of brainstorming. Whether it’s a solo session or a group discussion, brainstorming can lead to a flurry of ideas, some of which might be the seeds of your next great project.

So, there you have it – a glimpse into my creative journey and a few tips and tricks to help you unleash your own creativity. Remember, creativity isn’t a well that runs dry but a river that flows endlessly. All you need to do is tap into it.

Stay curious, stay flexible, stay creative. Much love to you all! 💖🌈🌟
