If you can’t afford switching to a more suitable workplace right now, there are other ways to improve your creativity.

• First of all look for a hobby which you really like. If there isn’t any, you should try some. I agree with the view that you can only be good at something which you like doing. What do I mean? For example sewing, sports, gardening, nail painting, writing, walking dogs, woodwork etc.

• Practice it a lot, make time for it. If you want to change your life to feel better, start it with doing something after work which makes you happier.

• Train yourself. If you don’t have the financial conditions to enrol in courses, look for materials online. You can choose from plenty of free DIY tutorial videos or downloadable pdf files. For example I am interested in online marketing at the moment, I think it’s very fascinating, and I have downloaded a lot of learning materials that will keep me busy for weeks.

• Create your own business from your hobby as a second job and start it, no matter how small it is. At first advertise it among people you know, it doesn’t even cost money.

• Then step out bravely from behind the scenes. No one will find you if you are hiding. Show your face and be ready for the audience of social media and possibly for online advertising.

It is worth a try, since you don’t have anything to lose. Your every day life will become more exciting, and you definitely will soar with confidence as you can at last unfold in something which you really love.

Be patient, and keep in mind: Perseverance always brings success.
