Creativity is a way of thinking about your world and it can take many forms. Don’t limit your thinking about creativity to only artistic endeavors like painting or writing. We need creativity to design our best lives. Creativity can open the doors of your mind and allow you to discover your true potential. Want to get your creative wheels turning and unearth your talents? Here are some ways to do just that.
Say Yes! Be open to invitations and experiences that you may normally decline. This lays the groundwork for forward momentum and expands the realm of possibility in your thinking.
Be Afraid! When you do something that scares you a little, you expand your risk taking potential. The goal is to define yourself, not by your successes, but by your willingness to try something you fear. Each time you do, your heart gets a little braver.
Find Inspiration! Take advantage of the variety of resources we all have to be inspired. Read something motivational before you get out of bed and before you go to sleep. Hang out with people who inspire you and avoid “nay sayers.” Keep a journal of all your inspirations.
Get Support! Create your community of at least one person, or ideally five or six people, you can use as a sounding board for ideas. Make sure your community is made up of people who hold you accountable and tell you the truth. Vary the background and areas of expertise of this group for maximum creative spirit.
