What would be some of the best ways to spark your creativity?

There are many different ways to spark creativity, and what works best will depend on your individual needs and preferences. Here are a few ideas:

As a Technician, you have to find ways to optimize yourself

1. Take breaks: Taking breaks can help to refresh your mind and give you a new perspective on things. my favorite moments are in the vehicle when I am driving between locations, I would jam out to my favorite west Indian playlist, podcast, or audiobook or just sit somewhere quietly for 10 to 15 minutes, that works too.

2. Get outside: Being in nature or changing your environment can help to stimulate your senses and spark new ideas. my favorite spot is anywhere there is water; rivers, lakes, beaches, etc. I love looking at mountains but I’ve never gone hiking yet! it's on my bucket list for sure. If I had to choose a place to go hiking to fulfill my bucket list, I would probably choose colorado or Arizona grand canyon.

3. Exercise: Exercise can improve your mood, increase blood flow to the brain, and help to stimulate creativity. I keep an elliptical, Bowflex adjustable weights, and a punching bag, between these three items I diversify my workouts during the week.

1. Meditate: Meditation and mindfulness practices can help to clear your mind and allow new ideas to surface. due to the nature of my job and the lack of a routine schedule. this causes me to have to improvise. I've often used the cockpit in my work van to medicate a few minutes before pulling out of my driveway, or during a pit stop for refuel, I will pull aside and mediate for 10 minutes before going back on the job. as technicians we have to get creative in how we stay sane in this business.

2. Try something new: Engaging in new experiences and learning new things can help to expand your horizons and spark creativity. for me, this is listening to a new podcast or playing an audiobook while going down the road. take whatever wins you get.

3. Collaborate with others: Collaborating with others can help to stimulate new ideas and bring a different perspective to your work. for me, this is a big one. I find myself engaging with technicians and building networks. often this can assist in healthy collaborations into the future. keep connecting to everyone and building relationships. I've found that keeping a friendly and helpful air about myself has helped me to work effectively with other field members.

5. Take time to relax: Relaxing and practicing self-care can help to reduce stress and improve your overall well-being, which can in turn help to boost creativity. one thing I've learned is to never sacrifice your time off when you have vacation time use it or you lose it. and remember you have to take care of yourself before you can help anyone else. TAKE THOSE BREAKS PLEASE THIS IS IMPORTANT!

6. Keep a journal: Writing down your thoughts and ideas can help to organize your thoughts and can be a helpful tool for sparking creativity. personally, I like to take video vlogs on my phone, and also keep a take recorder handy that my mother gifted me on my 40th birthday. so to each his or her own. choose accordingly.
