Abracadabra: Create What You Speak

When people hear creativity, they often think it is something just for artists or writers but creativity is much more. Everyone has creativity within them. You can develop great habits that will increase your abiity to access your personal creative strengths. Developing creativity enhances your career, your business, your art and your personal life.

Beyond Stuck

Whether it is a book we are writing, a project at work, a phase of our business or a rut in our personal life, it is possible to expereince stuckness. This is a place of shrugging our shoulders in a “what’s next?” or putting your head in your hands and sighing because you don’t know what to do next.

There are things that you can do to move through stuckness. There are habits and tricks that engage your creative thinking to find a new way to look at the issue in front of you.

How Play Leads to Success

We have been taught that once we become adults and enter the world of work and business that play maust be seperate from our work. However, engaging in play during work and with co-workers, is an excellent way to build relationships, teamwork, provide creativity, and improve morale.

Think of the way you lose hours doing something you enjoy. Think about how invigorated and energized you feel when you have given yourself a break. Our brains need the break in order to work at their best.

Owning Your Fear

Courage is not the absence of fear but rather action in the face of fear.

Fear of success. Fear of failure. Fear. It can keep us from accomplishing our goals or following our dreams.

How do we do that? We have to own our fear. We have to acknowledge it. Acknowledging helps take away some of it’s power over us.
