Presentation Embracing your creativity

I selected the topic about creativity as I never used to think that it is so important in our life, career and studies. During my research I learned the following:

• Creativity develops our communication skills.
• Improves life experience, self-confidence and self-development.
• You become the employee who creates, and not only performs tasks.
• Creative thinking develops new connections in our brains.
• Study process becomes more simple and joyful.

And the most important is that creativity is something you can learn, develop and to make it your everyday habit.

How work on this assignment improved my life and helped during study period?

I actually started to follow some of the recommendations. I understood that it is not less important part in our life and it actually helps to improve our goals in studying and from this list of recommendations I did the following:

• Develop new habits.
  Thanks to Victor Sze, during his lessons I learned not to give up and ask questions and practice so much that my understanding of material becomes "Crystal Clear".
   
• Do something new.
  I actually did pretty much new things during this term: 
  1) Participated in two painting evenings organized by RRC with amazing instructor Kisa.
  2) Practiced yoga in a hot studio.
  3) Tried once two new dancing types: Clogging and Indian National Dances.
  4) Gravity Yoga.
  5) Cycling Lesson.
   
• Practice "YES-YES-YES" (link).
  My friend asked if I wanted to participate in a Masterclass of doing hand-craft for Christmas. First of all I answered that it is not interesting for me, but finally I decided to try. In the bottom of this page you can see the image with my handcrafts: LINK
   
• Discover new fields of interests. 
  1)  I did not like Accounting, and had no idea why I was learning it. But now I can say that it is a very interesting subject and really helpful for understanding business processes. I am very glad I studied it this term and had the opportunity to improve my score.
  
  2) I want to try myself in handcraft arts during winter vacations.
  
  3) I want to learn ice-skating and maybe something else.
   
• Try things you are afraid of.
  1) I am always afraid to drive, it took me a lot of years to start driving with confidence in Israel. Now, again in a new country I had this fear, I was close to canceling my driving test in the middle of the term, as I had not enough time to practice... But I decided to try, to give it a chance... And I am so happy I passed it with a first attempt!
  
  2) Presented the research about creativity in-front of all the class, I was very afraid of it, but it was not so visible to others.
   
• Find like-minded people who want to try this new way of life with you, and so on... 
  I do not think it is possible to find a group of people who will be interested in exactly the same things... I think it is more about finding people from different types of activities and to become friends. And in each field of interest I am able to meet some new people, who love it. I already found a lot of new people this way. Most of them are still virtual friends, but with many of them I had already met in real life.
