Creativity is not a single person's treasure, it can come from anyone and it always accompanied with the situation you were in. Creativity can be expressed in many ways and exist within all of us. Creativity is like a skill and like all other skills it can be your hobby or a professional skill that is required for a job or a business.

Painting a master piece or composing a song is not always creativity, it is the ability to think outside the box of possibilities with what we have and what we can do about it in our life. Others may see limits, but some see beyond the limitations and do the things which we cannot comprehend as the lack of creativity. This particular skill is a universal trait one had within them but doesn't bring out, but necessary situations bring out the creativity in one self. It's a combination of imagination, reality and doing the work, hence anyone with their job, business or a particular work can harness the creativity skill if necessary to their life.
Some would say a closed mindset is the limit to creativity because it creates fear of failure and doesn't allow us to move forward in our life. A open mindset gives path to the growth in our life by viewing our mistakes as learning opportunities and improve, we just need to experiment with the situation we are facing without the pressure of perfecting it. Simply create a journal of your daily ideas, writings and reflections without judging them.
A relaxed mind is the path to a greater ideas and open to growth. Hence, engage in activities like meditation, yoga, walk in a cold weather or even day dreaming too. Always try to mix these activities with what you like the most and unleash your imagination within you. Try to take a few minutes to do what you like in different ways daily and improve up on it. Try to write a story in mysterious and thriller ways as they deal with the imagination and creativity of your brain.
Every great story begins with a little bit of inspiration and these inspiration comes from anything depending on one's perspective. Try to observe your inspiration from vide variety of things and explore the routine things in your life with your imagination and create alternative things on top of that. Try to be unique from what you perceive as a lot of people tend imitate what they see if they find it interesting and be able to learn being unique. Try to read about the things you admire or love to do and get an idea on how do they approach a situation and tackle it might give an idea to inspire on your own creative projects.
Once you get out of your comfort zone or a daily routine can spark new ideas and burn your kept aside creativity. Try to do something new, it may not be your field of work but try to do it and you will be suprised on the results you get when you do it. Try to make it as a challenge and do it for the sake of it. A simple shift of your daily routine can make a great impact on your life with imagination and creativity.
If you are a social person, then try to find connection with others by engaging in like minded community of individuals which in turn brings out a new idea or a new perspective for your work or creative project. If you are not so much of a social person then try to find your like minded on social media platforms by joining your interested communities. It's the idea that drives you to search for different approaches not your social anxiety.
Sometimes creative blocks may occur, keep in mind that those are not permanent but temporary. To move past these blocks get yourself some fresh air and go out side or play some games on your computer. Try to do things that interest you and feel relaxed.
