“Acting is the ability to actually live under imagined circumstances.” Sandy Meisner (American actor and drama teacher)
From time immemorial humanity has been participating in the game of life and creating numerous rules and methods for this game, whose goal is to live with inspiration, creativity and to be able to voluntarily suppress distractions.
In today’s world, this goal has become more difficult than ever, because our mind has become a fly whizzing blindly and landing on everything, whether necessary or not.
In everyday life, the mind finds an excess of signs, an excess of sensations. The imbalanced society has become a vehicle for brainwashing. It seems like everyone is the same, they do things the same way and they go to the same place.
It is worth remembering that in every human endeavor there are two fields of commitment: the exterior and the interior. The external game occurs in an external field, to overcome external obstacles aiming at reaching a goal that is out of the people.
The internal game happens in the mind of the player, and it is against obstacles like fear, lack of confidence in itself, lack of concentration, of creativity, concepts that limit us. The internal game is played to overcome obstacles imposed by ourselves, not allowing us to reach our maximum potential.
Probably you in the rush of the day, wake up late because you slept late. He hits his hand on the alarm clock and on the autopilot he jumps out of bed and walks out the door daily into the morning. Brush your tooth like every day, comb your hair so as not to be displeased, and get dressed as you order the costume. If so, have some black coffee to wake up.
Glimpsing the future is a form of creativity. For a creative process to be part of everyday life, it is necessary to apply three phases – imagine, nourish and transform – as a holistic and integrated totality.
At this point, you realize that with the creativity that already exists in you and that for some reason you no longer use or were being fed to believe that you are not able to create, you begin a great process of creation.
The recreation, for example, of their daily life.
“I’ve seen everything in this life,” if that phrase fits you, you stopped learning, stopped creating, tired of trading with the universe. He is blind to the new, deaf to the music of creation. Instead of savoring experiences, he swallows every moment ever from the past, from his rigid habits and convictions, from his inflexible perspective.
He lost his sensuality, bruised his senses. He’s old.
I recognize that it is not easy to ignore cultural standards. The table of the laws of modernity is everywhere decreeing something that we do not even know if it belongs to us.
How to develop your creativity?
The book Coaching for Creativity, does not have the innocence of finding a manual of creativity daily. Nor much less to dictate even more laws that can be followed to reach creative genius.
However, some questions can be positive triggers for you to rediscover the sleeping creativity in you and recreate your daily life. Some reflections proposed in the book:
- Is the creativity of others a reason for you to feel immobilized?
- Do you believe the opposite of being creative is being normal?
- How many innovative initiatives have you taken today?
- Do you have a list of things you would like to create?
- What is driving you away from creativity now?
- No false modesty: what are your skills and competencies?
- Do you speak with your inner voice?
- What is creative routine for you?
- Do you have the ability to dream?
- Do you care about solving problems or are you looking for good solutions?
The questioning exercise turns the creative process into great learning and transformation. From well-crafted questions, the process of reaching the “desired state” becomes strengthened. This is because the question generates a continuous process of learning, personal discovery, and self-knowledge. Through the exercise of asking is that are generated opportunities to express your doubts, feelings, values, difficulties and strengths.Whoever asks finds out the implications of the opinions or behaviors proposed for others and for yourself.
To ask is also to generate the opportunity and clarity necessary for us to identify solutions to your reality and to find alternatives in the world, in our personal life, in our work, in social and interpersonal practice, and also in ourselves. As we create questions for our creation, we are allowing the possibility of knowing the freedom to experience new things and new conceptions about our world. We offer the ability to be honest with us and to live freely and unlocked from restricted views and opinions.
It is in the process of questioning that we find the three phases – imagine, nurture and transform to lead us to the discovery of resources and creative, constructive and responsible capacity. Imagine, nurture, transform, recreate and create every minute of your daily life. And by the end of the day, you will surely have discovered great creations for unsolved problems.
