This is Day 7 of the 7 Day BlogChallenge with Dr. Jeanette Cates.  I am Ellene Breedlove Davis.

Creativity is the ability to go beyond the traditional ideas and create new ways to express yourself.

Find new ideas or methods to accomplish your expression of creativity freely.

At the top of your priority list should be to learn new ways of interpretation, to try something original and use your imagination in a new way.

This exercise will help to free your mind, and aid in your creative thinking.

You will be alone, in your comfortable chair, have all the materials needed to bring your project to life. Start to focus your mind and create a solution to the problems you are facing.

In my studio, I have a small blue chair that just calls me to create.  Most of the time, I get my sketch book or journal, a favorite pen and just put the pen to paper.  The ideas start to flow as soon as I relax, as my creative imagination starts to write or sketch.

While you’re in this mode, brainstorm, write down all ideas, leave no uncensored thoughts out.

This is not a time for self-criticism.  Write for a short while then break, go out of the room if it helps and clear your mind.

This is an important activity that is beneficial each day. During this activity, ask yourself – what if, why and how.

Keep your creative mind in motion at all times.  In fact, there are some people that  are so creative that they can’t sleep, I suggest keeping a pen and paper nearby and jotting down ideas that come at this time.

If you are feeling that you are inadequate in some part of your creative spirit, write down all the knowledge you’re learned in the last six months. You will learn from this that you are a creative person. We all experience these emotions from time to time.
