Creative thinking can work wonders to human mind and activities. People have been looking out for various methods and measures to boost creativity. Experts believe that creative thinking is directly related to the energy level of human brain. The article below offers you methods to boost your creative side of the brain via utilizing five vital senses.
My fears are most powerful when they’re simmering just under the surface of my awareness. I’m resistant to a new idea, I’m defensive about holding on to my old ways, I feel excited and panicked at the same time – these are sure-fire signs that there’s some fear under there.
Being creative is not limited to those in the arts. You can add everyday creativity to your life. Doing so will inspire your whole life, not just those occasional times when you chose to indulge your creative side. There are simple ways to bring creativity into your life every day. Explode your surroundings with vibrant colors. Find the color or colors that make you feel your best. Different colors can have a different effect on your mood. Red can make you feel more powerful and inspired, so on those days when you feel a little out of touch with your creativity, wear red. Perhaps just throw on a red scarf or put a red hankie in your suit pocket. Lavender is good for stress. Set a pretty candle on your desk even if you can't light it. The color is soothing and the scent can be very calming.
Take a look around you right now. Look away from the computer screen and scan around you – the surface of your desk or table, now scan farther to look at the rest of the room. Close your eyes and imagine the rooms you can’t see from here; particularly the space where you most often work on your creative projects. Take a deep breath and really take in the image. What’s the impact?
There are many myths around creativity. These are general beliefs that are thrown around by people often enough that others start to believe them, just because they’ve become familiar and heard often, not because there’s actually any truth in them.

“Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me” goes the familiar rhyme. Hmmm...


Words in fact can do more damage to your creativity, confidence and self-esteem than any physical pain.

Let’s be clear: You Are Creative


The number of definitions on creativity available in the market cannot be compared to the wealth of definitions that people like you and me espouse, understand and live by.

What stops you creating more?


What’s prevents you from realising your creative potential, today and every day?

In my life, sleep is the number one way that I can either enhance my self-care and nourish myself or defeat my self-care and deplete my energy, peace of mind & productivity all in one shot.

Most of us as creative people like to feel free from any restrictions or boundaries.


One of the reasons we are creative, and we continue to explore different ways of expressing that creativity, is because a regular non-creative life where we do exactly the same thing day in day out is our idea of torture.

Without Regret

Published by Admin on 2007/12/10 (411 reads)
My body is old and about to die
My eyes have no more reasons to cry

My heart will soon beat for the last time
Sunset is upon my spirit .... It can no longer soar or climb

I cast my mind  back when things were very dim
When in darkness against twenty seven million contestants I did swim

The race was furious yet dead slow
I was tiny - One of many ... Where I was heading I did not know

Burrowing deep and tail lashing away
This egg I got into ... That wasn`t the end ... There is more to say

The victory was sweet
I was incubated in loving heat

My body, heart, mind and spirit came into being
But it would be another nine months before my eyes became all seeing

In time the waters broke
I billowed out like smoke

Into the big wide world I did come
It was cold, I was hungry - I felt numb

There was no fanfare - nor did people clap
Instead a doctor hung me upside down and gave  me a slap

It was then I took my first gulp of air
It was traumatic - I wanted someone to care .......

Now here I am decades down the road
On my shoulders bearing lifes load

It`s soon time to go back into the dark
I hear the noise of deaths bark

There is a mirror before which I smile
The lines upon my face go on ... seemingly mile after mile

But there is no regret
For on lifes journey my demons I have met

They tried to fill me with fear
I fought back with needing TLC and shedding a tear

But those times were few
And lessons learned made my vigor and passion renew

Let it be said that life was bitter sweet
Yet humbling ... I danced to it`s beat

If my maker be Earth or God
I go back to either with a humble nod ......
