Self-reflection may lead independently to creativity, depression

This week’s blog article is blog article is about self-reflection may lead independently to creativity, depression.

Self reflections lead to creative behaviour because that is a way ideas are generated. When we reflect about ourselves, we would generate ideas in our head about what to do. For example, in class when a joke is let out and it accidently hurts someone else’s feelings; we reflect on the incident. A thousand thoughts streamed through the mind; generating ideas of what is to be done to fix the situation. That is how self reflections lead to creative behaviour.

According to the article, people that suffer from depression are more prone to have creative thinking. This is because, people when suffering from depression would spend some of their time not being able to do anything else but to reflect on self. By doing this, they generate ideas. Thus, this ‘disorder’ is regarded as a gift to those suffering from depression.

However, creative thinking does not lead to depression. Meaning if a person always think about creative thoughts, it does not mean that the person is suffering from depression. In other words, there is nothing much to worry about when it comes to creative thinking.
