I am sure everyone has had an ‘aha’ moment. It is when something becomes obvious and we know this is the best way forward or the best solution to a problem. These moments often happen suddenly when we do not expect them. For example, when we drive, walk, shower and daydream not thinking about anything in particular.

Synchrony and Creativity – How You Can Effortlessly Create Terrific Ideas

On the other hand, many people say that the harder they try the less likely they come up with a new, fresh idea. Say, in a meeting at work when you want to impress others and suggest something particularly clever, and you just can’t.

In this article I will explain you what creativity really is, how it works in the brain, and how you can let it happen to you.

What is Creativity?

According to the Oxford Dictionary creativity is “the ability to use skill and imagination to produce something new or to produce art; the act of doing this.”

I would suggest simplifying it a bit and say that creativity is when we invent something new by connecting many elements of reality together in one piece. These elements could be shapes, colours, notes, thoughts, words, ideas, needs, feelings, beliefs, etc.

Say, if we connect

  • a need – ‘to pour a liquid into a hardly accessible container’,
  • a shape – ‘funnel’,
  • a material – ‘silicon’,
  • a colour – ‘green’ and
  • a ‘mechanism of folding’

… we can create a cool looking mini collapsible silicone funnel you can see below.

Synchronicity and Creativity - Funnel

This is the essence of a creative idea. It forms by merging a few already existing elements of reality in a new way.

They become connected and then together they become something new.
