Hi Paul,
a. I’m no expert but I do want you to see that you are capable of thinking creatively.

c. If you tell yourself you’re not creative, you’ll easily start to believe it. So, the first thing to do is: stop thinking like that!
d. A central obstacle to our ability to think outside the box is the assumption that there must always be a right answer to a question or problem. That limits creative thinking.
e. I read your post and can completely relate to it. You say “I’m not a creative person”. Look – everyone’s creative! Denying your creativity is terrible.
So, try to stop seeing things as ‘right’ or ‘wrong’.
I hope these ideas help.
Sarah.
