Spring Into Creativity 21/30 – Memory Meditation
Meditate on a positive childhood memory and then create what comes from that meditation. Try to focus on both feelings and imagery.

Spring Into Creativity 18/30 – Found Creativity
Empty your pockets or purse. Create something from what you find there. Use the items in a poem or a story. Take a picture. Paint or draw your impression of them. Write a song about it. Make sure you have fun with it.

Spring Into Creativity 15/30 – Communication is key!

Creativity Sundays: Try something new
This week, take some time to try a different creative outlet. Try to pick something that you don’t normally do. Flex your skills in a different arena. There are a ton of ways to be creative. Whatever you pick make sure that you give it your all and enjoy it.
Expand your creative mind!

Creativity Sundays – Get creative with how you get creative.
So you have fallen behind on those resolutions or plans you had for the new year. Perhaps your creativity challenge is a day late (a little like this post). Or maybe you are a couple days of your “everyday” challenges.
Don’t worry. Today is a new day. Start over.
Don’t be afraid to alter your challenge. Instead of saying you are going to write or draw or compose everyday, try saying that you will simply create everyday. Make a conscious effort to be creative everyday. Or look at why you have fallen off and adjust accordingly.
Don’t be so hard on yourself. It will stifle your creativity.
So today, if you are bogged down by your usual forms of creativity, try something new. Step completely outside of your box. Do things a little differently.
Get creative with how you get creative!

Creativity Sundays – Unload Your Brain
This week try to unload the creativity from your brain.
Before you go to bed write for fifteen minutes. Unload all the your thoughts onto the page. Write. Sketch. Plan. Nothing needs to make sense. You could map out ideas for a project or you can write a few pages of a project.
Once you wake up you should do the same thing. Unload the first things on your mind. Throw them on the page. Write about a dream. Sketch an image that came to your mind. Write all of the things that come to your mind. Take fifteen minutes and get it all down.
At the end of the week, go over what you have. Try not to do it until a full week has gone by. Give the thoughts and ideas some space to breathe. There may be some jewels hiding there.
