Hello! The first thing I think of concerning your question is... tips for creativity in what? Is art, photography, music, or something quite different? Since this is rather wide open, let me give you this tip I read once. Get yourself some paper and a pen or pencil, go somewhere quiet and peaceful (to yourself), and close your eyes! Take time to sit there and after you've got a mental image which comes to mind... open your eyes and draw what you saw. It does NOT have to be perfect, but it is a way to see what your subconscious is trying to convey to your conscious mind. Do take time to quietly reflect and brainstorm, and as you do write down every idea which comes to mind. Then after that is done you can start removing the notions which would not work. Read books, look things up online, and just work on cultivating your creative muse. Good luck and I hope this helps some.

Do something different. Change might lead to creativity. For example, take a piece of paper and draw with your less dominant hand. Or switch your watch to the other hand that you usually wear it on. This change usually makes people uncomfortable at first. Journal your response. Or maybe you need stimulation. Again do something different. Go to a museum, see another artist's work. You might get inspired. Sometimes nature has the ability to increase our creativity. Collect things found in nature and then either try to draw them or journal about them. I believe everyone is creative. Good luck!
