Lena: Miles, I have to admit, I’ve always been a bit jealous of "creative" people. I used to think you were either born with that spark or you were just destined to be a spreadsheet person forever.
Miles: You know, that’s actually the biggest myth out there. We tend to treat creativity like this high-stakes performance or a rare gift, but the research shows it’s actually a muscle. If you don't use it, it just goes dormant—it doesn't actually disappear.
Lena: That’s a relief! So it’s more of a practice than a talent?
Miles: Exactly. It’s about daily wellness, not just artistic achievement. In fact, some of the best creative breakthroughs come from something as simple as daydreaming or even failing on purpose to desensitize yourself to the fear of being "wrong."
Lena: I love that. So, let’s dive into the practical habits that can actually rewire our brains for more innovation.
