Excerpts from our creativity class.
It teaches techniques for developing creativity,
provides practical information about living a creative life
and is available on CD

Supporting Your Creative Soul

Your creativity is a "work in progress" ... and always will be. You will always be working to improve, strengthen, develop, learn, discover or invent elements of your creative life and perspective. That's what a creative person does. In fact, that's your real job as a creator. The things you create are just the areas where you practice your skills. The product that results demonstrate how well (or not) your creative skills have brought your vision into reality. To a true artist, the failures can be even more instructive than the successes -- although I admit they're not nearly as much fun.

Resting ... versus Being Stuck

There's an important difference between "being stuck" and "needing to rest." Objectively, the inactivity may be the same ... but the feeling is very different. We need to rest when we've been hard at work long enough to feel the strain and exhaustion. We need to rest when we've finished a major project ... and aren't quite ready to start anything new.

Resting ... versus Being Stuck

Positive attitudes promote creativity

Creativity is enhanced by positive attitudes and a supportive mindset. Emotions like gratitude and joy are known to boost the development and expression of creative ability. Most of all, inner permission to be an artist, helps in living a satisfying creative life.

The left brain and right brain approach creativity differently

Drawing On Creativity

You see, the left side of the brain excels at verbal, analytical, rational and logical tasks. It's the dominant half. It takes over most of the time, using words to describe and define, figuring things out step by step, drawing conclusions based on facts and logic, and thinking in a linear way. The left side of the brain jumps right in with words and symbols, and is such a bully that it takes on even those tasks it isn't likely to perform well.

Now, the right side of the brain is completely different. It relies on nonverbal cues to process perceptions. It's good at tasks requiring the ability to see similarities, to understand how parts fit together as a whole, to make leaps of insight (those a-ha moments), and to perceive overall patterns at once. It tends to hang back a little, letting the left side take over most duties.

Mind Mapping For Creativity

I don't take notes anymore. Instead, I create one wildly colorful, creative and inspiring page whenever I need to make a decision, prepare a presentation, or plan an event. That whole two-column plus and minus approach? Gone. Bring on the Mind Maps!

Dealing with Writer's Block and Artist's Block

Overcoming Artist's Block
Part 1

How many times does an artist stare down at that blank piece of paper thinking "What on earth do I paint - Where do I put my first mark?" More often than you would imagine! It happens to all creative people actually, from visual artists, designers, poets, through to musicians and writers.

Sometimes the Best Creative Advice is "Just Do It"

Make Your Brain Your Slave

If procrastination has you in its grip, try bribing your brain. Promise yourself if you work for just 15 minutes, you can turn your attention to something less stressful or more pleasurable. Because of your brain's Drive for Closure, once you start, your brain will push you toward completion.

Creative Inspiration

Connect With Your Creative Dream

We get so busy in our day-to-day life, with all the doing and actions and daily chores, that we can quickly lose sight of the BIG PICTURE. What's it all for? What are you working towards? If you don't know where you're going, how will you know when you get there?

Connect with Your Body

When we're in the creative flow, we can sometimes forget we even have a body, because our minds are exploding with color, sounds, words and images. But when unhealthy habits sap your body of its vitality and strength, your creativity and productivity will be sapped as well.
