After reading this chapter I learned that I need to push myself more to create time for inspiration and to begin using creative rituals. More meditation. More time to just sit and let creativity come instead of just doing something because I feel like I have to do it.
One of the challenges in the chapter asked "what activates and drains our creativity"
My activators are: music (esp. sista badu!), magazines, concersations, dreams, creative energy and love from others, sunny days
drainers: rainy days, lazy days, low energy overall, feeling overwhelmed/anxious/depressed
In honoring my inspirations, I have to focus more on understand exactly who Jade is and build strategies to understand how my creativity works and how to allow it to work better. I constantly carry around a notebook or sketchbook and colored pencils to record whatever comes to mind whenever.
The chapter also discussed creating a creative sanctuary, which is my room overall lol I have beautiful colors of orange, purple, fuschia, different types of lighting, a large desk, areas to paint, green plants and colorful flowers (LIVE lol not fake), several bookshelves and creative cabinent. I will post pics of my room/creative sanctuary later.
how will you honor your creative inspirations?
this is so inspiring. tyou for sharing.
