Increase Creativity A-Z - Z Is For Zzz - Does Your Creativity Feel Stuck In A Deep Sleep?

If I were to ask how creative youd been in the last few weeks, what would your response be?

Would you say something like Ive been SO busy, Ive finished a collection of poems, painted 2 new abstract pieces, cooked several delicious meals and redesigned my website logo! ?

Or would your answer be more like Er... Im not sure really. It feels like creatively Im going through a bit of a lull... ?

If, as is more likely, you answer in the second way, dont panic! Lets get to the real truth of the matter first.

How much have you REALLY created?

How many acts of creativity however minor they seem at the time have you been involved in? Once you start counting them up youll realise youve actually been far more creative than you thought.

How do you write a 100000 word novel? One word at a time. How do you paint a 2m by 3m abstract picture? One brushstroke at a time.

Once youve got a more accurate idea of how creative youve really been, then its up to you whether you want to increase that.

Does it still feel like your creativity is half asleep?

Do you still feel you can create far more and at a higher, deeper, more rewarding level?

Remember, though your creativity might be a little dormant right now, it IS only sleeping. Its not dead!

Which means theres plenty you can do to awaken it again.

So start planning your wake up call now!

Whens the last time your creativity seemed wide awake and full of energy, even if for a fleeting and short period of time?

Capture the details of this period as fully as possible.

What was going on in your life at the time that allowed you to be so creative? What creative environment were you in? What creative habits and routines were in place and working well for you?

What were you thinking, what were you focusing on? What were you telling yourself during this time about how creative you were? Who was around you at the time? What other factors helped you to be creative?

Now the important part, waking your creativity out of its slumber!

You now have a great idea of the kind of conditions that have helped you be creative in the past. So how can you introduce some if these effective elements back into your life again more now?

Pick just one or two, put them in place as soon as you can, and start to notice the difference it makes. Add more positive elements as you go. Its often the tiny details and changes we make that make the biggest difference.
