That being said, it does take effort and a conscious awareness to perceive the world in a artistic way and convey that through your chosen medium. I've put together seven things you can do to encourage your artistic outlook.
1: Ponder: Taking time out of your day, whether it be ten minutes on your lunch break or before bed can help your brain develop ideas.
2: Be Open-Minded: Allowing yourself to be exposed to other cultures, mediums, and art styles will keep you full of new ideas. Studying others also helps you become a well rounded artist.
3: Inspiration: Inspiration is fleeting and unpredictable. However, seeking out art that inspires you to keep going when its tough can go a long way to improving your craft.
4: Do Things You Love: Inspiration and passion come from things we love. Whether its reading, jogging, or playing with your dog, more often than not, our passions will bleed into our art.
5: Surround Yourself: Surrounding yourself with your chosen art medium will help you consciously and subconsciously absorb style and technique. You'll start to notice patterns related to each medium.
6: Take Art With You: Having a portable means of doing your art will not only help you practice more, it will help you stay in an art mindset even when rushing through the day.
7: Practice: Perhaps the most important piece of keeping an artist mindset and improving your art is practice. Practice is the one surefire way to improve at anything, art is no exception.
