Innovativeness
Being innovative is a process that often requires thinking outside conventional boundaries and combining disparate ideas in novel ways.
Innovation involves creating new ways of doing things, whether through developing new products, services, or methodologies. Effective innovation often requires an environment that encourages autonomy, values empirical evidence over tradition, and promotes knowledge sharing.
Being innovative is a state of mind. It's always crucial to observe those great creative phenomena and continue to develop creativity and improve unique competency.
Creative cognition: There is a cognitive process in creativity. Cognition is a faculty for the processing of information, applying knowledge, and changing preferences. Enhancing our “description of the world and ourselves within it” is cognition and differs from ordinary or usually habitual thoughts. Cognition can happen in many different ways and their combinations. It involves exploring varieties of meanings, and thoughts, abandoning old connections, and establishing new relations to connect unusual dots for sparking creativity.
In neuronal terms, this involves disconnecting some of the “wiring” and working on the new ones. All of that requires a deliberate mental effort. Psychologically speaking, all humans are bestowed with three basic instincts which are humility, curiosity, and creativity. Amazingly, they are also intertwined. Humility brings egoless awareness of our knowledge limitation; curiosity drives us to learn new things, and creativity urges us to change and figure out new ways to solve problems. Humility energizes curiosity and curiosity ignites creativity. In simple words, without humility, curiosity is feeble, and without curiosity, creativity is ineffectual.
Creative solitude: Creativity flourishes in solitude; just like the ocean, our mind can be calm and beautiful, but it is never still, creativity flourishes in such solitude. With quietness, you can hear your thoughts, you can reach deep within yourself, and you can stay focused. Human creativity has a quintessential facet with the integration of multiple thought processes. Thinking things differently and making imagination roll into reality is creativity. Creativity is not just about being knowledgeable because creativity is at the intersection of knowledge and imagination, and it is able to expand the boundaries of knowledge.
Creative phenomena: It refer to the processes and outcomes of creativity, characterized by the generation of new and valuable ideas or products, observed and appreciated across different fields and contexts. Creative phenomena involve the emergence of novel ideas, processes, or products that are both original and valuable. Creativity is defined as "the ability to make or otherwise bring into existence something new, whether a new solution to a problem, a new method or device, or a new artistic object or form."
Creativity is both natural and nurtured. Creativity is not something you can learn as a topic, it is something you acquire and use, not just for learning, but for life itself. To be creative, you have to enjoy the freedom of thinking, imagining, metaphorical communicating, trying, learning, doing, failing, improving, etc. One of the things that is essential for education in creativity to really thrive is that people understand that creativity is a way of being, being innovative is the state of mind; it requires internal motivation and self-awareness; it's very personal, and it also takes continuous practice. Creativity is like a muscle, you must exercise it daily or it atrophies.
Creative phenomena can manifest in various domains, including art, science, technology, and everyday problem-solving. They involve the interplay of imagination, knowledge, and skills to produce outcomes that are not only new but also useful or aesthetically pleasing. Being innovative is a process that often requires thinking outside conventional boundaries and combining disparate ideas in novel ways.
