I’ve posted before about clarity, and how we are so busy doing busy work that we forget to focus on ‘the big picture.’ As an extension of that…I will say that while we can sometimes see the big picture on the horizon — we almost never take time to feed our creative brains.
I would describe myself as being creative. There’s nothing I love more than using my creative brain to develop new concepts and ideas, and also publications for web and print. But let’s face it, one simply must be in the ‘mood’ to be creative. To get the creative juices flowing, you’ve got to feed your creative brain. Now I’m not just talking about creativity as it pertains to work and production — I’m also talking about creativity in your everyday life.
Take time to read more — soak up, experience and absorb the text — don’t just do the normal blah blah blah reading. Really take a hard look at the things around you and what inspires you. Think of other ways you can do the same old things you’ve always done. Feed your creative brain, kick back and get in a creative mood, and then apply your new creative thoughts to something you do everyday or something you’ve always wanted to try. Let me know how it goes!
