GOOD ADVICE
"People often ask me how they can become more creative. By this they mean many different things; even if they meant just one thing, there would still be many different kinds of answers. For one person, the answer might be "worry less." For another person, the answer might be "grow wilder." For a third, it might be "be braver." For a fourth, it might be "somehow find the time." But whatever else you might need to do, one thing that will help you grow more creative is consciously engaging in new explorations. If we do not explore, we do not get to go anywhere new, and if we do not go anywhere new, we can't be creative."
- Eric Maisel, PhD

Here are two suggestions from Dr. Maisel's Everyday Creative card deck:
1 Name a creative project you'd like to tackle. Write down the positive qualities in you that will bring the project to fruition.

2 Divide a sheet of paper into three columns, "Starting', 'Working' and 'Completing'. In each columns write downs some ideas that will help you along the process. Do them.

WANT THEM?
If you'd like your own Everyday Creative pack, just leave a comment below about a creative project you want to start next week, or next month since it's the same thing I'll pick a name at random as the winner on Monday, Aug 28th.
