What:

Igniting our “creativity” engine


Where:

This may seem like such an obvious question but you would be surprised at some of the answers I have received. I am very curious as to where do all of you get your moments of “eurekas” or mini-epiphanies? The best part is that all we need is a moment of creative spark within us and BAM... ideas start to sprout into creative and productive endeavours.

-Home; any particular section of your house?

-Nature; parks, trails, beach, mountain, ocean?

-Urbanized atmosphere; coffee shop, shopping mall(particular section?), streets, work environment?

-On an airplane, car, boat, train?

-Others?

Rank your location of creativity from most effective to least effective.

Write down how and why are some areas are more effective than others.

When:

When do you feel is the best moment for you to think creatively?

-Mornings?

-Afternoons?

-Evenings?

-After a long walk?

-After a power nap?

-After a meal?

-Other?

Rank your moment of creativity after a particular time frame from most effective to least effective.

Write down why are some areas are more effective than others.

Why:

Why not?

Everyone has the ability to express their unique creative talents. Its all up to us to take that first step towards achieving our goals/dreams, as long as we have enough compelling reasons to do so.

So what does your “5 W's of Creative Mojo” look like?

Did you write down your 5 W's and rank them?

By breaking down your creativity process, did this exercise help you increase your creativity level?
 
 
Its easy to be comfortable in your environment isn't it?
When was the last time you broke out of it?

You can lie to everyone around you, you can lie to yourself.
However, at the end of the day....you will still be lying by yourself and so you have to ask yourself.
Is this me? Is this all that represents my image, my character and my beliefs?
