Creativity doesn't not need to be complicated, like throwing clay or drawing with charcoal pencils from France. It comes in all in all different shapes and sizes. But it is a life force that flows through each and everyone of us. Yes, all of us! No doubt, some of you will defiantly proclaim that you are not creative. But it literally is something we're all born with.
There's nothing quite like pushing your sleeves up, taking on a creative endeavor and then standing back with satisfaction at its completion. Breathing life into our imagination and our ideas, and making something of nothing, that's incredibly fulfilling. And it's quite likely to make you smile.
One of the best things about free falling into some form of creative expression is that this type of thinking expands our minds and gets us to think outside the confines of what we "should" do.
Painting, coloring, cooking, rearranging furniture, photography, crafting, knitting, sewing, decoupaging, -whatever floats your boat, when we're creating, we are responding to a totally different set of motivations and expectations in our brains. Opening our minds to what could be possible, really gets us to think beyond our norm. That's called being innovative and "thinking outside the box." And that is a skill we need in everyday life.
How often do we need to step back from a situation in our lives and simply look at it a different way? Tilting and shifting our perspective is the equivalent of adding a little more blue over here in the corner of this painting or a dash more spice in this bubbling concoction on the stove.
We need that kind of thinking to be good problem solvers and trouble shooters. "Let's try to solve it this way instead of that." Or, "What if we looked at this as a solution?" That's what creativity does for our perspective.
Creativity is now becoming a skill that you can tout on your resume. Many businesses are giving more value to the importance of hiring Creative Thinkers who can bring a new perspective to their company.
A poll from IBM revealed that more than 60 percent of CEO's believe that creativity is the biggest predictor of success in business. And yet, climbing the career ladder, we often shortchange the creative side of ourselves.
Feeding our creative selves is like nurturing a garden. The more you do it, the more abundant the harvest will be. We don't often stop to think about practicing creativity or why it's important. Want to fast track your way to that promotion or flourish in your career? You might be surprised to learn a paintbrush or an art class can help you get there.
Thinking the unthinkable, that's what creativity is and that's what every successful entrepreneur started with; imagination that led to an idea, an idea that led to a "what if", and a "what if" that led to the birth of company or a product.
Obscure ideas are born from creativity. It takes imagination for us to leave the confines of the usual or expected and find "ground breaking" and innovative.
It may start with a box of Crayons and a glue sticks, but creative thinkers become successful people who learned early on the power of bringing their imagination to life, whether in a boardroom or on a canvas.
It's FUN to watch something spring to life that came from the depths of our imagination. It's FUN to get a little messy while we incubate and germinate an idea. Making things is incredibly fulfilling. Not judging them and just letting them exist just because you made it, that's hard.
Once we learn to let go and just create, we open our minds up to new possibility. Practicing creativity sharpens can impact our lives on a powerful level. Get a journal or sketch book. Take a painting or a cooking class. Buy some molding clay at the art store. Don't over think it, just create.
