If you believe you don’t need ideas, think again. Not everyone is an artist, but everyone must be creative; it’s a necessity when you face life problems on a day-to-day basis. Solving problems is the application of creativity to reality.
Reading books, fiction and non-fiction, fuels your idea machine. You can’t create ideas without input. Life experiences and memories are your starter inputs, but non-fiction books allow you to branch out into the experiences of others, and fiction allows you to reach the realm of experiences nobody ever had.
Escaping into a book is a fantastic way to cope with a stressful life and lower your blood pressure for a while. It allows you to de-stress without actually turning your brain off. Your mind can be stimulated and rejuvenated at the same time.
And with books, your mind has to create the visuals and sounds all on its own. If you swap out just one of your regular television shows for regular fiction reading, then you can exercise your creativity on a more regular basis.
