Are you really “creative”? In fact, most people are not yet what does it mean to be creative. Let’s have a look at what creativity means and how it can help your family life.

Creativity, in simple terms, is the process of doing things differently or breaking the rules (think of it in the right sense or you will suffer from your actions!).  As human beings are often trained in a way to follow certain patterns, a small deviation from it can make a real difference. How can such changes help you enjoy time with your family?

Think who is really important in your life; your boss who gives a paycheck each month or your beloved family who only wish to spend the whole day with you? In both cases, you have to give TIME in return for their demands. Using the time spent creatively will make everybody happy.

Creativity at Home

Check those things you can do to have fun with your family while making both them (and you) happy.

• Play with them- May feel “silly” to those who spend the whole day inside an air-conditioned office.  But this is one among the most powerful ways to be involved with your family.  It doesn’t matter what you are doing; a running race or butterfly style swimming, wrestling or basketball, do it with your family.  This will not only be a physical exercise to boost your energy level but also a mental relaxation secret.
• Have an outing with them- Most of the “busiest” people in today’s business world are spending weekends with their family as part of outings which are not enjoyed by both.  To make your trip interesting, be involved with them completely.  Who cares what others are thinking; play with your children when you are at beach, help them climbing if you are near forest, sing together with them as if you are the only people alive on earth.
• Cooking- Prepare a precious dinner with your own hands which up to this point has only been used on a keyboard.  Get help from your kids.  Have the special dinner made by yourselves.
• Dance- As the whole world agrees, dancing will increase creativity and productivity. It will leave you happy.  Dance with your family.  Seriously, no joke, it is another weapon used in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) to treat people who are depressed.  Play a favorite song of yours (shouldn’t be one that brings down the walls) and dance with it.  Need not be a dance master to do that, but do it at your best for at least 15 minutes.
• Garden fest- If you have a beautiful garden outside, decorated with the best outdoor lights available, spending time with your family there at night will make great impact in their mind.  May be tired after those stressful hours at office but finding some time to spend there will help your kids and spouse to be more intimate.  Share whatever foolishness you did at office, share your big dreams of having another home there in Switzerland, give some moral advices etc.
• Give them duties- This is home office where work can be delegated. Let the kid be only 5 years old and give him a chore of his own for which he is responsible.
• Make them laugh- May be at you or whatever else it may be, have reasons to make them laugh at least 3 times a day.
          Enjoy, it’s your life, it’s your time.
