Make Creative Thinking a Priority: Here’s THE TRICK to Slipping Into Your “Creative-Mind”
Too often, we allow life to get in the way of our creative time. Daily responsibilities refuse to go away and we feel we must do the things required of us before we get too far behind.
If you feel too busy to flex your creative muscles, you are in luck. I am here to help you see the creative in the everyday. Or, more accurately, to get you thinking creatively when your everyday activities refuse to go away!
Now, if you’re ready, here’s THE TRICK: creative brain-cells love the mundane, everyday activities. Do your creative brainstorming when you are “busy” with the mundane! Here’s why: your brain isn’t really required to be present when you do these activities. In turn, you are free to think creatively.
Here are some creative-opportunities: doing the dishes, sweeping, folding laundry, making the bed, and taking out the trash: these are all things you have done again and again. So, they allow your mind to subside. When your mind is free of actual thinking it can easily slip into “creative mode.” Creative ideas flow more easily and there is no pressure, because you know you are “busy” doing your household responsibilities.
There’s just one other trick that goes along with your mind’s “creative mode:” if you want to actually create, you’ll have to make time to utilize those creative thoughts, because art can’t make itself.
Use your mind’s “creative mode” to let your mind relax. And then, just when your mind thinks it’s safe, jump into the art of creating! It’s a wild ride, and it makes ordinary activities, extraordinary creative opportunities!
