Key Wellness Strategies and Self-Care Techniques

Creativity as an Innate Skill: Children are born with high Creativity levels (98% at age 5), which drastically decreases to 2% by age 30. This decline is attributed to factors such as reduced curiosity, fear of judgment, and rigid educational systems.
Creating a Supportive Environment: The importance of fostering an environment that encourages Creativity, whether in schools, homes, or workplaces, is emphasized. This includes allowing freedom of expression and promoting teamwork.

Exercises to Boost Creativity:
- Idea Notebook: Maintain a notebook for daily creative ideas (aim for ten new ideas each day).
- Thirty Circles Exercise: Draw different shapes in thirty circles within three minutes to stimulate Creativity.
- Walking: Engage in walking to enhance Creativity, as studies show a 60% increase in creative thinking during and after walking.
- Exploration and Curiosity: Write down three new observations each week to develop a sense of exploration.
- Mindfulness and Boredom: Allow time for boredom to stimulate creative thinking; reducing screen time can help.
Design Thinking Methodology: This involves five steps:
1. Empathy: Understand the experiences of others to identify problems.
2. Define the Problem: Analyze data to formulate a clear problem statement.
3. Ideation: Generate a large number of ideas without judgment.
4. Prototyping: Create tangible representations of ideas for testing.
5. Testing: Gather feedback and iterate on the solution.
Encouraging a Culture of Innovation: Companies should foster an environment where experimentation is encouraged, and failures are seen as learning opportunities. This includes:
- Providing psychological safety for employees to express ideas.
- Celebrating attempts and learning from failures.
- Leaders should act as catalysts for Creativity by asking stimulating questions and supporting risk-taking.

Educational Reform: Schools should adapt to promote Creativity rather than stifle it through rigid structures. This includes allowing for exploration and questioning.
Government Support: Governments can stimulate innovation by providing incentives for research and development, as seen in successful countries like Singapore and the U.S.
