So, how do you go about unleashing this hidden creative potential? One answer lies in the concept
known by researchers as "flow." This is a state in which we are so immersed in a given activity that
we become unaware of the passage of time. We've all felt it at one point or another. We are so
engaged and focused on a certain task--and enjoying it intensely at the same time--that we forget
about how long we've been doing it, while everything else around us recedes into the background.
This asset is available in the following sizes: Through immediate feedback that occurs in real time, it
is also easy to tell whether you're performing well or not when you're in "flow." This constant input
allows you to improve on the spot and keep your attention on the present moment. For example,
professional musicians and athletes have developed their own mechanisms for immediately gauging
their performance, which allows them to remain in "flow" and keep their minds from worrying about
whether they're doing well or not. And this is only the beginning. The push for greater creative
freedom within both classrooms and boardrooms is leading all types of learners to seek out ways to
tap into their dormant creativity. Far from a talent possessed only by exceptional painters and
composers, creativity is an innate capacity within every person--whether this refers to the ability to
take stunning pictures, cook delicious meals, design innovative experiments, or find new ways to
solve old problems. Whenever you immerse yourself in environments full of new, unpredictable, and
complex information, your mind lights up and becomes more engaged. If you want more "flow,"
stimulate your body and mind with rich environments that pose a challenge and help focus your
attention. Part of the problem lies in the way students are trained to handle challenges. According to
creativity expert Ken Robinson, schools teach children to become afraid of making mistakes and
being wrong. A prerequisite for creativity and innovation, however, is being willing to learn from
past mistakes and engage in a trial-and-error process of discovery. Arevolution in education, though,
is on its way. Besides the fact that child-centered approaches--such as the one I witnessed in
Ecuador and others similar to the Montessori model--have been in existence for centuries, the
increasing pace of innovation has brought with it a greater awareness of the need for creative studies
programs. For this reason, there are a handful of initiatives out there trying to get the ball rolling,
such as Buffalo State College's International Center for Studies in Creativity, CreativeLIVE, and
Adobe's ConnectED initiative. To assist you in your quest to discovering the hidden innovator in
you, we've summarized some of these optimal conditions for flow so that you can activate them in
your professional work and personal hobbies. Although many might think twice before enrolling
their children in such a school (They would never learn "necessary" skills, some would say), this
model actually incorporates principles embraced by thought leaders who have been pushing for a
much-needed revolution in education. 5K Nayomi Chibana is a journalist and writer for Visme’s

innovative and unexpected ways is another important trigger. This entails tackling projects from new
angles and linking concepts that would normally not be related to each other. Besides looking at a
problem from every imaginable perspective, you can also seek out new and stimulating experiences
and environments, which serve to increase the amount of unforeseen connections made and can
inspire your next big idea. We don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it.
While this sounds like the sole domain of creative geniuses, the state of "flow" can actually be
replicated at will. First defined by the psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi as a state of "single-
minded immersion," "flow" can be deliberately induced by creating the right conditions for its
activation. While Csikszentmihalyi identifies nine elements that produce flow, other researchers such
as Steven Kotler have found 17 different flow triggers. This asset is available in the following sizes:
The brain child of a Saraguro community leader with a doctorate in evolutionary psychology, Ñusta's
school was a world away from traditional classrooms with rows of desks, schedules, tests, and
lessons plans. Not only did it help conserve its indigenous community's values, it allowed the
community's children to grow as their ancestors did: by being free to learn by doing and at each
person's own pace. Another condition cited by Csikszentmihalyi is the definition of clear goals and
objectives. When you know what you're working toward, then the mind can concentrate on the
present moment and not on the future. Also, the establishment of clear goals allows you to gauge
your progress, which is the next trigger. Taken together, these triggers can significantly boost your
capacity for "flow" and increase out-of-the-box thinking. Read Part 2 of this series to find out more

your business whether you are a seasoned designer or a total novice. After spending a day at Ñusta's
school, I realized that the traditional education I received--with its sometimes inhibiting structure
and one-size-fits-all mentality--had a tremendous influence on what I decided to pursue as an adult;
the limited exposure I received determined what I thought I was good at and what I eventually
decided to be in life. If I would have been left to my own devices, who knows if I wouldn't have
been a chef? An entrepreneur? A gardener? Find the perfect wallpaper to suit your style and

creative thinking should be taught as a course, just like math or science. Additionally, 86 percent said
creativity is important in their career, while 82 percent stated they would have liked more exposure to
creative thinking as students. So, how do you go about unleashing this hidden creative potential?

Maryland. For "flow" to occur, there must also be an adequate balance between the challenge posed
by the task at hand and your skill level. For example, if you're attempting to create highly
sophisticated data visualizations but your skill level in this area is low, then you're likely not to
achieve "flow." Inversely, if the task is too easy, then boredom will set in and "flow" will not be
activated. The ideal balance is to engage in a task that poses a challenge slightly above your skill
level, as seen in the graph below. "Significant creativity is within everyone's reach—no exceptions."

that "when a man knows he is to be hanged ... it concentrates his mind wonderfully." When you
know that there are high consequences behind your actions, it helps your mind concentrate on the

and likely become the new literacies of the future. Yet, the current education system "is ill-prepared

Wallpapers are for personal use only. What does this have to do with creativity, though? Since this
concept is defined as an optimal state of consciousness in which we produce our best work and ideas
flow effortlessly, it is an effective method for finding our most creative selves. In this state, also
referred to as being "in the zone," we lose consciousness of our own selves, our egos--and most
important of all--our inner critic, allowing creativity to flow without inhibitions. Research has found
that people who experience "flow" more often in their lives also report a significantly higher level of
well-being in terms of self-esteem and engagement. Find the perfect wallpaper to suit your style and

I met an indigenous girl named Ñusta Sangurima. She was 11 years old and lived in a community of
