Welcome to my 4-part creativity series on the creativity-boosting concepts from my Inspirational Bookmark Trio (now Creative Empowerment Sampler). I share my Creative Exploration Formula, with tips for getting your creativity flowing naturally, starting with limitations as the breeding ground for fresh ideas.
In Step 2 of my CEF: Letting Go of Your Ego, learn to navigate your inner critic.
In Step 3: Make It Stupid: use the power of purposeful absurdity and defy convention to shatter blocks. Tap your inherent flow with the simplicity of play and curiosity.
In Step 4, Tune In to Your Inner Compass, embrace connection to your voice and inner intent. Connect with the wisdom and natural power of your values.
Envision in Step 5—to tap your boundless creative energyusing the rich tapestry of sensory and imaginative exploration.
Step 6 invites us to Explore, Brainstorm, and Experiment—Using an open spirit of fearless inquiry and play, steer yourself into the depths of your unlimited potential.
Step 7 allows for Failure—a noble companion on the path to flow. Recognize the necessity of setbacks as catalysts for growth through reiteration, paving the way for reinvention and new paths.
The final CEF step: Redesign—is where failure and reiteration give birth to renewed energy for creative output. Harness the power of iteration to refine, reimagine, and polish your vision with strengthened clarity.
