Creativity Exercises

To exercise my right brain I looked at the problem about moving the matches to make four squares with one of the four squares larger than the others. It helped my creativity because I had to keep trying to solve the puzzle by using a different approach each time. The directions were simple, but it took me awhile to get the the answer correct. The exercise for my left brain was the question about the birds and the beasts at the zoo. Once I thought about it, the answer came to me quickly, but you have to get creative by turning the question into an equation. To add a little humor to my life I watched the movie Sydney White, which I had never seen before and it turned out to be very funny. This helped my creativity because it gave me a chance to relax, laugh, and recharge my batteries before attempting more homework. My roommate gave me some inspiration by telling me one of her favorite quotes: "a true friend is someone who knows the song of your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words". This quote can help out a friend when they are feeling sad and need some inspiration. I thought it would potentially help my creativity if I were feeling sad or lonely, but then I can think of all of my friends and family who love me.
