Elevate Mood Before Divergent Thinking When Mood Is Low

If in a low or 'meh' mood, spend about 5–30 minutes first elevating mood before trying divergent thinking. Suggested methods include positive stories, music you like, inspirational stimuli, or exercise to raise dopamine enough to support creativity.
