You can bring out the creative genius within you. You have the power to do it. But to got there, you must change how you see the world around you. If your goal is to get a better result, then you must take care of your thinking. Why is that? Because if the thinking is right, the result will take care of itself.
So to cultivate a creative life, according to Carrie Bloomston, 'Be disruptive of your creative process and your life and you will find a wellspring of riches and freedom. Step outside the normal. Step outside the expected to find your creative self. Be curious.''Creativity is about being yourself. If you want to change anything in your life, in your career, in your relationships, do not be afraid to do it. Because if you do not act, the situation is not going to change by itself. If you want to change, yes, it is difficult, but you go ahead and do it.
Remember, according to Carrie, 'Everything you create is a self-portrait.'' So why not create yourself? Why not change yourself?
Do not ignore the wonderful things in your life, and around you. In his book Unlearn: 101 Simple Truths for a Better Life, Humble The Poet writes,'We tend to sabotage our happiness by ignoring the wonderful things in our life.''You have a lot in your life to be grateful for. Instead of beating yourself up over what you do not have, why not focus on what you? Instead of fear, why not faith? Instead of doubt, why not courage?
Instead of procrastination, why not action? And instead of fear, why not creativity? Remember, you get what you focus on. If you want your creative muscles to grow, then focus on cultivating a creative life. And you do that by doing creative things.
Creativity is about the process. It is about the fun. It is about getting out of your comfort zone. Creativity is about challenging yourself to think differently, to see things differently.
If you want to be creative, to bring out the best in you, you must first believe in yourself.
Be comfortable with yourself. Do not worry about making a mess. It is going to happen.
If you really mean busines, you can't avoid making a mess. It is part of the game.
To embrace your creative self, let us start with these quotes from Carrie Bloomston.
If you want to be more creative, do not worry about making a mess. In her book The Little Spark: 30 Ways to Ignite Your Creativity, Carrie Bloomston writes, 'Life is filled with opportunities, and if you are worrid about getting dirty or making a mess, either metaphorically or for real, then you will be limited in your possibilities.'When it comes to doing something new, something that you have not done before, you are going to make lots of mistakes. But that is okay. You can't avoid them. When you make mistakes, learn from them. Use your mistakes to make good decisions. It is important. Why? Because you are not going to grow, you are not going to be creative if you are scared of making mistakes. Remember, without mistakes, there can be no progress.
To embrace your creative self, do not focus on being perfect. If you do, it is going to cripple your dreams. It is a dream killer. Do not focus on being perfect. Focus on getting it done. Focus on getting better. The reward is not the destination, the reward is the process. So if you want to grow your creative muscles, you must focus on getting better, not getting perfect. To quote Carrie, 'Perfectionism is the enemy of the creative art.'
And to embrace your creative life, according to Carrie, 'You must disrupt your normal patterns so you can see the world with new eyes.'' That is true. If you want something to change, you must change how you look at it.
And that is creativity- looking at things differently.
