World Creativity and Innovation Day is observed every year on April 21 to increase awareness about the importance of creativity and innovation in human development and the role they play in making the world a better place.
The United Nations (U.N.) established this global observance to encourage individuals and groups to think in new ways about solving challenging international problems.
Here are some ways to inspire your own creativity and problem-solving abilities:
- Unleash your creative abilities with a favorite hobby. Create art, build, cook or learn a new language – besides being fun these activities can help improve memory and focus.
- Enhance your problem-solving skills to improve decision-making and boost creativity and brain health.
- Find time for creativity breaks to shift gears.
- Ask questions and stay curious. You’ll learn new things and benefit from social connections too.
- Cultivate a regular reading habit, which can increase brain function, decrease cognitive decline and build your vocabulary.
