Creativity doesn't always come easy. Looking at a problem from multiple perspectives, solving problems, thinking outside the box are some ways to help you become a more creative person.

Here are a few ways to boost your creativity:

• Be curious: It is necessary for you to allow yourself to be more curious and question some beliefs to be creative. It gives you something to think about. When you're curious about something, instead of brushing it away try to dwell on it. Go ahead, google it or talk to someone and express what you think and why you think so. Creativity comes from curiosity too!
• Spend time being creative: If you want to be a creative writer, spare some time to do just that. How can you get better at something without devoting the necessary time and effort towards it? It also becomes important to make creativity a part of your routine and be consistent with your creative routine. If you love to paint, spare 30 minutes everyday towards it. Paint two pictures a week, see how happy it'll make you to see how much progress you would have made in a month.
• Be confident: Sure, you may not be the best painter in town - but who said you cannot be? All it takes is time, effort and the most important part - CONSISTENCY! Being consistent will help you build confidence in your work and makes sure you don't lose touch with what you started.
• Surround yourself with other creative folks: Spend more time with creative people, we as humans are very much influenced by the people around us. This helps you take your creativity to a whole new level, it can also be helpful to get constructive criticism and feedback from your fellow creatives. 
• Visit places that inspire you; Find places that inspire you, for instance: nature, art galleries etc.
• Overcome negative emotions: Negative thoughts and emotions can stem from within oneself as well as from the people that one is surrounded by. Don't let negative thoughts get the best of you, channel your thoughts and emotions and trying going forward with a positive attitude. From daily affirmations to motivational articles, increase your intake of positive thoughts. A good mental state can help bring the best out of you.
• Make lists: Creativity can strike any moment, always keep a small notepad with you to write down all the ideas that occur to you throughout the day. When you're having a creativity block, these ideas will surely come in handy!
• Don't be afraid to start: I was very skeptical about starting my art page on Instagram because I had a lot of thoughts going around in my head: my art is not the best, there are so many artists way better than me, people wouldn't appreciate my art, my art isn't the most creative etc. But I started my art page anyway, and there wasn't one instance where any of thoe above things happened. People have been very appreciative of my art. So don't be afraid, just START!
