Creativity sounds awesome! Doesn’t it? It’s the best expression ever given to humankind. We create things, we create thoughts, relations, paintings, music, movies, websites, blogs and above all – we create our own reality.
It’s a very empowering expression or emotion or whatever you want to call it. I like the very sound of it – Creativity!
Ages ago we discussed how to tap creativity through meditation also we shared some killer tips to boost creativity. Today let’s talk about creating a ‘creative mind’ in 15 min.
You will need: A blank sheet of paper, a pencil, alarm clock and yourself.
Meditation
First thing first, creativity is not work, creativity is absolutely not hard work. Creativity is relaxation, it’s allowing. So if you have sit up and prepared yourself for battle, I request you to calm down. Let’s do brief meditation, I promise it’s very brief. Read the method then do whatever you remember of it:
- Close your eyes.
- Take deep breathe in and out. (3 times)
- Breathe Normal and focus on your breathing, let your mind do what it does.
- Just relax more and more and more. If you are relaxed, relax more.
- Count to from 10 to 1 and come back to walking conscious.
See? I kept my promise. Set the alarm clock to buzz after 15 minutes. Now let’s take the pencil and paper. Do whatever you feel like with that paper and pencil. Want to write gibberish? Draw doodles? Poem? Draw a cartoon (your teacher or boss)? Do whatever you feel like. If you want to do some origami do that.
The Process
You have just have that pencil, that paper and 15 min. No deadline, no pressure. Want to do it? Go ahead, or else just gaze at the blank sheet.
Your mind will fill of thoughts like, “Poem? Are you kidding me? I suck at poetry.” I’d say forget you suck or better, write a sucking poem! (And send it to me, I’ve never read a sucking poem).
Points to Remember:
- It’s OK if you do nothing in beginning. Repeat the process again daily, for a week at least and you will start on your own .
- You will see your mind’s creativity unleashing in front of you. Right there in 15 min.
- Do not pressurize yourself to do something. Our goal is not doing. It’s not work, remember? Our goal is relaxing and allowing.
- Remember to send me a photo of what you wrote, drew or made of it. I’d love to see you guys progress.
