How the secret to feeling happy and successful is simplicity and creativity.

A successful person is one who is imaginative and creative in their thinking and who is able to build their own storey. When it comes down to it, productivity and creativity have a direct effect on one's mental health. Feelings of depression are prompted by the belief that you have nothing to contribute to the world, that you have nothing of value to give to others. In this post, I'd want to talk about the impact of simplification and minimalism on creativity and mental wellness, as well as the benefits of both.

According to Matthew May, author of The Laws of Subtraction, simplifying one's life increases one's ability to be creative. According to May, creativity "grows under the influence of intelligent limits." Due to the fact that you have fewer possibilities on which to concentrate, limited and constrained circumstances enhance your creativity. Reduced options allow you to concentrate your energy and direct it toward your goal more effectively. Because creativity flourishes in restricted environments, less is more in this case. It's just breathtaking.

Recent research, says May, "reveal that, contrary to common belief, actual activity of the imagination, i.e., creativity, is dependent on constraints and bounds rather than on unrestrained freedom." "According to my understanding, the law of reduction has a good effect on virtually every aspect of our lives. What isn't there frequently wins the battle against what is. When you reduce the right thing in the right way, something wonderful almost always emerges."

"Creativity is sometimes misrepresented," says Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer of the concept of creativity. Human beings tend to conceptualise it in terms of artistic endeavors—unfettered, unguided labour that results in aesthetically beautiful results. Upon deeper investigation, however, it is shown that some of the most inspiring art forms are also characterised by a number of limitations."

If you're a clever idiot, you can make things bigger and more complicated, according to EF Schumacher, economist and author of Small Is Beautiful. "It takes a little intellect and a lot of courage to achieve the polar opposite of what you want," he explains. The term "courage" comes to mind while thinking about this situation. It takes a lot of courage to keep things as basic as possible. When it comes to sophistication, Leonardo Da Vinci reportedly said, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." Simplify your life in order to be more creative and avoid negative feelings. Simplifying your life can help you be more creative while also being better for your mental health.

It is vital to simplify in order to be a creative and productive person, as well as to protect your psychological well-being. Instead of describing something complicatedly, if you want to communicate something to the entire globe, you should simplify your message. This is due to the fact that the human brain can only concentrate on a limited number of stimuli at a time. There is also a scientific justification for this. Scientists refer to this as the "rule of three" in their discussions.

To put it simply, the rule of three asserts that the brain is capable of recalling three items of information at a time. It's intriguing to read about the science that underpins the need of conciseness and simplicity in communication. Because what isn't there draws attention to what is, having to communicate your message in a constrained space and time encourages you to be more imaginative.

In order to increase your creativity, you must simplify your life, experiment with new ideas, think differently, and look differently.
