I think, therefore I don’t create
Posted on June 28, 2007, by dazzer67, under inspiration, quick tips.
Do you remember the first time you fell for someone? Or when you got really upset about something? Most probably your mind went into overdrive. If you were suddenly in love you may have been able to describe those feelings in words and phrases that weren’t normally in your vocabulary style. If you were particularly angry you will have been able to use no end of colourful phrase. The point is, when you get emotionally charged you can often access your creative power with more ease.
Creativity is about exploring new landscapes, new horizons; things that sometimes defy logic. By trying to ‘think’ through your creative process you are following well worn pathways. Letting your emotion take hold enables you to run off the path into the forest. Your ‘thinking’ brain would never let you take a detour from the path as you might get lost. Your ‘emotive’ brain won’t worry where you end up, it wants to explore it wants to ‘feel’.
So when the muse had gone on vacation stop thinking and let your emotions take hold. If you’re not in the position to have a mid-life crisis and flirt with all and sundry, imagine yourself in that ‘forbidden’ relationship. If no one has got on your wrong side, sit down and watch the news or reality TV, something or someone will get you going soon enough. Release your emotions and let the creativity flow.
