When does your creative ‘zone’ kick in.. When do you find yourself lost for hours in deep thought, contemplation or creation.. Not often you say? You might be surprised… I bet you have encountered your own moments of inspiration where suddenly everything previously held as TRUTH is completely overturned.. in the moment.. quite literally!
So what then is creativity? Why is it so vital to you and me? And are we engaging in it.. enough?
Has this ever happened to you? You’re doodling with a pen, or over a crossword puzzle, you’re taking a warm shower, or you’re out for jog or a walk… relaxed and un-contemplative (you think).. when suddenly you have the solution to a problem that’s been nagging you for hours, days, weeks.. maybe even months!
In these moments, we are literally activating our ‘creative zen zone’ as I like to call it. We are activating the creativity buttons we need to generate solutions, fun, ideas, imaginings and new creations we didn’t know we were capable of.
While I might have my own definition of creativity…
“Creativity” is the exciting phenomenon whereby individual human expression creates value and shape through one or more uniquely placed ideas or imaginations, in ingenious and never before similarly conjoined ways. ~ Lynda Gibson
This flash of inspiration marks a point on your creative ‘imagineering’ or creative ‘ahah’ and ‘problem-solving’ journey. One that you have been engaged in quite creatively.. for quite some time.. whether you realise it or not!
The Creative Process goes something like this..
STEP ONE: I have a problem, question or curiosity (Problem Consideration)
I have a consideration or puzzle or imaginative idea I wish to solve, which leads me to..
STEP TWO: Uncertainty. Yes, us humans usually start by questioning our every move and thought.. before we high-gear into Creativity. Sadly? This initial ‘stuckness’ isn’t actually all that bad as it allows us to consider our problem or curiosity through a dirty window, doing a hand-stand, or asking a neighbor what they think or feel about it. So is it really that bad.. to enter the world of “Uncertainty”.
However, with a bit of luck and some Fun-filled tools and techniques on offer at Cre8te.org.. we can all move to..
STEP THREE: The possibility of using new ways and means (even some rather fun and fanciful you might think!) that allow us to the same question or curiosity from a new perspective.. perhaps hand-stand were not what we needed after all? Perhaps a cart-wheel, or a roller-coaster ride, or a visit to a corner shop we’ve never considered before.. can bring us new insights curiosities and answers.
While this is a super over-simplified summary of what goes on with our personal Creativity process (you’ll have to read Crack your Creativity Code by Lyn Gibson to find out much more about how this subtle process can and does work).
But it demonstrates the point that we are all having so many creative thought processes in a ‘moment’, and that we are doing this by-and-large unconsciously.
My question to YOU is..
How much richer and fuller (& more playful!) do you think your life and your world can become, if you embrace your own Creative Intelligence© in a more conscious, awake and aware way. By embracing all of your senses, all of your possibilities and curiosities.. and most importantly, your very own Creative Intelligence©
Well for starters, life can be much more FUN. Life can also become far more ‘easy and in-the-flow’ for you. Life can present opportunities you may never even have considered.. or considered as opportunities.. before undertaking one of our Cre8t.org Courses or Workshops.
We have a kaleidoscope of exciting fun tools and techniques to help YOU uncover your ‘creative zen zone’.. your most ‘Creative space and place’.
