What are the various barriers to creative thinking?
Answers
Blocks and Limiting Beliefs Switch To Positive Attitude
Negative Attitude Positive Attitude
Do you have the tendency to focus on the negative aspects of new ideas when creating a display, like too expensive – too difficult – I don't have the knowledge/ skills / time / space – we can't do it because…..
Are you seeing all the ‘why-nots’ instead of the ‘let’s-do-it-even- though”
Instead of seeing the obstacles and barriers switch your focus: How can I / we make this work or what would we need? Can I stretch finances by begging and buying 2nd hand? Who has the required skills, or can I learn those skills? How can I generate time? What space would be perfect?
Fear of Failure Be Prepared to Learn
You might have a fear of looking foolish or being laughed at when creating an elaborate or unusual display. Most people think that others will judge them negatively when trying something unfamiliar but most people love to see creative ideas coming to life. Maybe it is your own insecurity that holds you back? Or lack of support? Have you talked about your plans with colleagues or supervisor?
We never laugh at a child's first attempt to talk, walk, and draw. We encourage them. Lots of adults have lost confidence in trying out new skills. They fear negative judgements from themselves or others. Be courageous – ignore that voice in your head saying you might fail to do a perfect job. If you’re disappointed with your first attempt, learn from it and DON’T STOP. Trying again and again is the only way to learn what works and what doesn’t.
Executive Stress Make Time for Creativity
You might not have the time to think creatively. The over-stressed person finds it difficult to think objectively at all. Stress reduces the quality of all mental processes. It limits creative thinking because that requires inspiration and exploration. Thinking outside the box requires a relaxed state of mind.
Managing day-to-day operations is important, but it shouldn’t prevent new ideas and a fresh approach. Don’t think of new displays or ideas when in the middle of managing accounts. But before you go to sleep is perfect. Guide your thinking; let your mind drift off. That space between being awake and asleep is a fantastic source of ideas…. Allow your mind to welcome images that pop up.
Following Rules Circumvent Status Quo
You might not be aware that it hampers the creativity when you have a tendency to conform to accepted patterns of belief or thought – the rules and limitations of the status quo. You restrict yourself with staying on the safe side. You prevent yourself from being open to suggestions and ideas that are new or not associated with your field of work.
Some rules are necessary. We don’t want to offend or harm others with displaying ideas or concepts that are offensive. But we often create our own imaginary rules when it comes to making displays. We assume we know what others would accept or not without much evidence. Imagine 5 different people, a medical student, art teacher, chaplain, fashionista and jazz singer and envisage how they would react to your display.
Making Assumptions Be Open Minded
Conscious and unconscious assumptions restrict creative thinking. Are you sure that a specific subject is not done? Is it the topic that is taboo? Religious reasons? Is it a touchy subject or is it because you feel uncomfortable tackling the issue, not knowing how to make a display about it?
Identify and examine the assumptions you are making to ensure they are not excluding new ideas. Talk with a variety of people, old, young, conservative and progressive and figure out what it is that might make the topic unfavourable for a display (excluding obvious reasons). But don't be afraid to stand out. Trust your own capability and intelligence.

Barriers to creative thinking
Explanation:
Lack of self-direction or from guidance from others leads to wrong ideas or thinking and wrong solutions
Personality will intrinsically motivate a person to be creative. A blunt non-interested person cannot be creative
Negative attitude directly hinders any new ideas. The negative attitude should be challenged and changed to positive attitude and should find solutions to meet any adversities arising in between.
Fear of failure makes a person to just follow only things that would lead one to be success. This will not allow to make way for new creative ideas to experiment. One should be courageous and not worry about the results. Repeated trials with new ideas will lead to creative thinking and innovative solutions.
Over stress will make a person tired and less interested to think creatively
Too many rules will not provide an opportunity to provide for variations or think creatively
Assumptions or pre-thoughts might mislead and block any new innovative or creative ideas
Believing only logical solutions will not allow a person to make way for creative solutions since it avoids imagination, intuition, or any emotion. It will often result in logical but blunt monotonous solutions.
Fixed thoughts or mind set will not allow for flexibility of thoughts or actions which are essential for creative thinking.
