Painting a master piece or composing a song is not always creativity, it is the ability to think outside the box of possibilities with what we have and what we can do about it in our life. Others may see limits, but some see beyond the limitations and do the things which we cannot comprehend as the lack of creativity. This particular skill is a universal trait one had within them but doesn't bring out, but necessary situations bring out the creativity in one self. It's a combination of imagination, reality and doing the work, hence anyone with their job, business or a particular work can harness the creativity skill if necessary to their life.
Some would say a closed mindset is the limit to creativity because it creates fear of failure and doesn't allow us to move forward in our life.

Simply create a journal of your daily ideas, writings and reflections without judging them.
A relaxed mind is the path to a greater ideas and open to growth. Hence, engage in activities like meditation, yoga, walk in a cold weather or even day dreaming too.

Try to write a story in mysterious and thriller ways as they deal with the imagination and creativity of your brain.
Every great story begins with a little bit of inspiration and these inspiration comes from anything depending on one's perspective. Try to observe your inspiration from vide variety of things and explore the routine things in your life with your imagination and create alternative things on top of that.

Try to read about the things you admire or love to do and get an idea on how do they approach a situation and tackle it might give an idea to inspire on your own creative projects.

If you are a social person, then try to find connection with others by engaging in like minded community of individuals which in turn brings out a new idea or a new perspective for your work or creative project. If you are not so much of a social person then try to find your like minded on social media platforms by joining your interested communities.
