Much of creativity is finding patterns among things that have not been put together before. This is a skill that can be learned by practice.
How about a textured ceiling or tile flooring? How many patterns can you see?
What about the clouds? Take time to stare into the clouds and see how many things can you see? Do you see a horse? How about a flower? A dog wagging its tail?
While you're sitting at the red light, is there a pattern among the cars sitting in front of you?
Rain drops on the car window? Have you ever played rain drop races? Which drop will it run into next?
As you begin to notice, you will see patterns all around you. Use this developing skill to envision how something completely unrelated can be applied to your new idea.
