every January my brain goes into creative mode with the question, how can I kick-start creativity in the new year?
I don't know what it is about a new year...I seem to always have a little "craving" for more creativity...for more randomness more mystery.
So this year I came up with 5 things I want to do to exercise my creative muscles.....
and I'm sharing with you so you can help hold me accountable.
Happy Day....so here goes
One-
Plan Mystery Trips
- Because anything can be a mystery trip, it doesn’t require any extra work or preparation.
- Commit to plan 6 mystery trips.
- can be anywhere near or far.
Just typing this out....has sent me into thinking mode....who, what and where.....be prepared (smile)
Two-
See real Art in the everyday
- Sketch book journal-
- one good deed a day
- be artful in my good deeds
Three-
Take a Class
- a have a class/The Academy in France I plan to attend in May....that is way out of my comfort zone....but so in my happy zone!
- planning for this to fill my creative cup big time!
Four-
Invite Randomness
- Not sure how I plan to approach this one....guess I will have to give myself time on this...
Do you have any ideas?.....I just know randomness tends to lead to awesome things.
Five-
A year of Powerful prayer-
- "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him - James 1:5
I believe the message in this for me is that God is approachable, generous, and willing to answer my prayers, if I don't asked God, He won't give liberally. (even helping me with my prayers searching for creativity I need to ask Him.)
Love this quote from Elder Jeffery R Holland
"God is anxiously waiting for the chance to answer your prayers and fulfill your dreams, just as He always has. But He can't if your don't pray, and He can't if you don't dream. In short, He can't if you don't believe." Broken things to Mend.
and of course getting on my feet and doing my part....taking that first step.
ETC.
I know creativity is not just 5 steps....there is so many other ways too....and I plan to be open to them as they come....

Remember be open to new ideas, start over if it doesn't happen to turn out like you were hoping. Imagine Childhood.
Happy Day!
Tell me...What do you do to be creative?
