Creativity and Re-Sourcefulness
A quick entry today about being creative…and bringing out the hidden gifts we all have.
All my life I have been creative. I’ve made things, designed things, put together things and thought up many more things than I could ever hope to get into physical reality.
Years ago they did a study to discover what separated creative people from those who didn’t think they were creative. They looked at education, training, income, you name it, they considered it. What they found was very interesting. The one trait that all creative people had is……..
They believed they were creative.
So why is this important? It speaks to everything we achieve as a manifestation of what we believe about ourselves.
I don’t know what my life would be like if I wasn’t creative. I am always looking for ways to improve, develop and increase…everything!!
But most important, I use my creative endeavors as a way to engage my left (logical) brain in the work at hand while my right (holistic/creative problem solving) brain works on the issues that are affecting me at the deeper levels.
It’s how I maintain my sanity when I’m stressed, and how I resolve imbalances or issues that are disturbing me. I ”retreat” into my studio and create something.
And I always emerge refreshed and regenerated. Or, since it is about getting back to source, I emerge re-sourced and re-source-full.
And that always makes me see things with a keener and clearer eye, to consider things in a way I might have overlooked previously. All of which, of course, makes me realize how creative I am!!
And so continues the cycle.
