Does Creativity Depend on Phrasing the Question Right?

Kids love to ask questions. So much so, that adults tend to tune them out after a little while. Okay, so if that happened to us as kids, did we just stop asking questions? Or did we stop learning how to ask?
If you are trying to harness your creativity, try asking yourself questions. Then, don’t stop at one question, but develop a series of questions. Then try to rephrase those questions.
This doesn’t need to be written down, but just try re-phrasing questions you might ask in your every day interactions. Think about how changing the phrasing to a question can change the response you receive.
Isn’t there a question you’ve asked and haven’t gotten the answer you needed? Then take the time and re-draft the question and find the best way to ask, which can shift the energy that needed a little bump and exercises your creativity muscles.
