Your Creative Voice

It is so very important for you to tap into your voice. Listen to your creative voice. It is wonderful to be inspired by the work of others. However, when you create you should make sure that you are being as you as possible. No one else can be you as well as you can be you. Your voice is unique and needed. Someone, somewhere, is going to be inspired or learn something from what you have to offer the universe. If you like a style, poem, song, or piece of art feel free to take that inspiration and run with it. Just make sure that you are doing it your way, not trying to do it the way it was originally done.

Be honest and true to your creative voice. It has wonderful things to say and share. You just have to trust in it.

April Creativity Prompt 4 of 30

Create something based on a fictional/fairy tale/movie character that you didn’t like when you were younger.

Exercise your creativity and your imagination!

Expose your creativity

creativity exposed

 

First step to exposing your ideas is actually writing them down. Well you don’t have to write them in words but you do need to record them. You can not keep everything all bottled up in your head. Put things out into the universe, even if you are the only one who will see it. Once it is in the universe, you are more likely to make it happen.

Use your creativity to bring about change. This doesn’t have to be on the grand scale. You could simply start by making change in your life. Creating everyday then becomes a habit. Once it is a habit it soon becomes a way of life. Once you have this working within your life you can branch out to spread to others. Spin a creative web until you have reached everyone.

April Creativity Prompt 3 of 30

Pick up your iPod and hit shuffle… or do that in iTunes or whatever media player you use… or turn on the radio.

That song… the first one you hear…

How does it make you feel? What does it make you think of?

Creativity… Use it or lose it!

You can’t use up creativity.

The more you use, the more you have.

-Maya Angelou

 

Creativity is a gift that we must exercise on a daily basis. We can’t let it get lazy and fat. Before you know it your creativity weighs over 500 pounds and can’t get out of bed.

30/30 and other daily writing exercises help you to keep your creativity moving. Photo-a-day exercises help. However, sometimes you have to simply come up with the regimen that works best for you. Set aside to exercise in your creative method of choice. Just like some prefer yoga to cardio, others prefer drawing to writing. Find your own niche and go wild in it.

Take a standard set of instructions on how to do something or how to work an item and turn it into something more creative. Write a poem. Draw or paint a picture. Begin a short story. Free Write what it makes you think of or feel. Begin a memoir piece around those instructions. BE CREATIVE!
