Inspire Creativity Daily!

You can teach it...

...or be it and thus inspire it in others daily! :)

I think i ate playdough!

What did you eat?

Crayons? Paint?? Plasticine???

Now don't deny it!

We all ate something different - that's why our creativity is so unique and different to each of us! :D

I used to love my plasticine - in fact, maybe i never told you - but my childhood was full of play every single day! 

I played with my cats and kittens (yes, they were real - i had lots of cats and kittens as a child) dolls and teddies and coloured and painted and had imaginary friends and made imaginary adventures and my whole family joined in my play - my mum (dad on his day off from work) and elder sisters and brothers. I read books and wrote short stories.

Yes all this under age 11!

My sister made playdough and i loved it and you know i may just have nibbled on it a few times too! :)

Do YOU Desire to Create?

It's as natural as breathing!

Don't deny it but allow yourself to explore your own version of creativity and it'll be right just for you! :)

Make Your Own Creativity Rules!

So, what else would you add to this list?

I would add that...

11. Make own rules and then break them!

Wash Your Soul With Your Art!

What's YOUR Art?

Silence the noises, tune within and search your art.

Now go practice it and feel the soulful cleanse! :)

The New Currency

What is it?

Yup, it's YOUR creativity!

So, even if you feel that you're not a creative soul - know that you are and your creativity is unique to you and it's your new currency.

Find your art and share it with the universe and become wealthy in the process too! 

Let Your Creative Juices Flow!

So, tell me today - what's YOUR art? :)

Everyday Creativity

Be creative every single day just by being you!

You don't have to get your paints or colouring set out (you can if you want though) just be you and set the intention to be more creative every day and you'll see signs all day long. Cease the moments and you'll build on your creative muscles and soon you'll be unleashing your creative juices unconsciously! :)

Creative Genius YOU: Challenge Tip 2

Let's Get Thinking!

OK my creative souls - how was 'Challenge Tip 1?'

Did you get your journal, notebook, pen, pencil (with the rubber) and colours together?

Did you start doodling and googling already?

I'm sure you have - you're already ahead of me on this ;)

So, today - or shall I say this week - our challenge is to...but wait...there are three parts to this weeks challenge tip. Ready? :D

Challenge Tip 2:

Let's Get Thinking!

Yes I know you already do that and you're pretty awesome at it too - however the idea now is to start daydreaming, doodling and googling.

But where to get inspiration or what to think?

Part a - Here I would say set a timer for 15 minutes to do nothing but drift off in to day-dream land.

We are not forcing ourselves to think anything in particular and I know you want to give it your best shot and you may be worried that you may get those unsolicited thoughts that you don't want during this 15 minute session - but it's OK, remember it is all a process and we are in early days taking baby steps and just learning.

Once your timer pulls you out your dream land start jotting down your thoughts - draw them - doodle them - whatever suits you.

Again, right now we are just getting the hang of this so allow whatever comes to you.

Part b - Also in this weeks challenge I want you to start doodling.

How?

Grab your notebook or journal, pop on your music of choice, get out into nature - observe, listen, drift off with the sounds and pretty scenes and just let your hand guide your pencil!

That sounds deep!

And - Part c - get on google and google!

Really, just google keywords from your doodlings and your note-takings (from parts a and b) and see what images come up (I'm so praying it's nothing haraam and explicit!).

Create a folder on your PC, laptop, ipads, smartphones and call it 'TFA - Challenge 2014) and save the images in that folder - we'll need them later.

Right, so that is this weeks challenge and if you're serious about this challenge which I know you are then each day for the next 7 days spend a maximum of 45 minutes on all parts (that's parts a, b and c).

Yes, you can spend longer - however - if you are a newbie you don't want to get overwhelmed with it all - but if you enjoy it then go for it.

That's it for this week. I'll be back with Challenge Tip #3 next week - in the meantime like, share and get interacting with this post and challenge - I look forward to hearing from you! :)

Have an awesome and creative week ahead!

Creative Genius Mindset!

So, I'm a firm believer that each and every one of us is a genius - in our own special and unique way.

I'm also a firm believer that we are all creative - again in our own unique and special way.

Now check out this map and study it and reflect on it and get excited and let your creative juices flow.

I know that somewhere on this map you will find a piece of you.

And if you want to go all out and unleash the genius within - then go ahead - study this map, visualise you doing what you love doing or want to do, say bismillah and become the creative you that is hidden deep within! :)
