How can I improve my creative thinking?

Creative thinking can be learned. One method is called “using construal levels.” Everything we think about is processed at multiple levels. Say you are talking. On one level, you can say you are communicating. On another level, you can say you are on a phone call with a friend discussing horror movies. See the difference in detail? The first level is abstract. The second level is concrete. Every thought can be processed in this abstract-concrete spectrum called the “construal level.” Once you learn to do that, you will get more creative.

Also, learn to let your mind wander freely, that’s necessary for ideas to start popping into your mind. Don’t apply pressure, flow with your thoughts. Some of them could be a sign of genius.
