Reading Roger von Oech's book, A Whack on the Side of the Head, How you can be more Creative, he shares his idea of one having "Mental Locks".  He describes these as resulting from one's own belief system - Paradigm -  and limiting one's creativeness.  Here are his 10 "Mental Locks" that I share for you to think about in your own growth and process of creativity.  

1.  The Right Answer

2.  That's Not Logical 

3.  Follow the Rules

4.  Be Practical 

5.  Play is Frivolous

6.  That's Not My Area

7.  Avoid Ambiguity

8.  Don't Be Foolish

9.  To Err is Wrong

10.  I'm Not Creative
