More often than not it can be so hard to find that precious time for ourselves to just be CREATIVE.
That’s why this weekend we challenge you to slow things down and take 30 MINUTES this weekend to connect with your creativity!
CREATING THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT
Below you will find some free top tips on creating the right environment (internally and externally) in order to find your creative flow:
Your space to create. Find or create a calm, peaceful space inside and out in order to engage and pay attention to your creative voice. Consider the light where you’ll be working, good natural light is always best. Good light reduces eyestrain especially important for those amongst us who are working on a screen. Natural light boosts mood and helps to improve sleep. Giving ourselves room to breathe in a space lit by natural light is a magical combination to wake up your artfulness.
The gift of time. Be honest about the time that you have available to create. You might only have 10 minutes of uninterrupted time in your day. Or you may have 10 daunting hours stretched out in front of you, no matter whatever the time scale, focus fully where your attention goes, energy flows. However, creativity will not flow when it’s forced. If you need to take a break, do so and guilt free. Give yourself permission to recharge. Watch out for procrastination here.
Find your muse. Next, what to create? What do you find interesting or inspiring? Have a love for nature? Gather flowers and foliage from the garden or grab some treasures from a walk. What grabs your attention. Choosing items to inspire you and work from is an integral part of the creative process. Selecting and collating, curating and arranging can be satisfying and rewarding in itself. Be in the moment. Don’t rush ahead.
Take action. Make a start, it sounds simple, but taking that all important first step can be daunting. What do you need to do to propel yourself into action?
