There are no shortage of ways you can use to help you unleash your creativity.
Many times though, we try to take on a whole host of new tips and techniques at once, can’t tell which are working well and which aren’t because there’s so much going on, then we get disillusioned and give up on all of them.
Or we might not even get that far, being so baffled by the sheer number of options available to us. Because we’re looking for that one killer creative technique and want it to be perfect first time, we literally drown in all the choices and directions available and end up taking none of them.
So here is just one powerful technique you can use to help you be more creative.
Read about the technique, let the details sink in, then pick a time to start using it for yourself. Don’t be afraid of experimenting, adjusting some of the details and ways you’re working with.
The aim, as with all new techniques we can use to increase our creativity, is to find how we can adapt it to best suit us and our unique way of creating. Once you find the things that work, keep doing them!
Getting Yourself A Cheerleader Can Help You Be More Creative
Creating can be a lonely process and it’s all too easy to stuck in a tangle of our own thoughts and lose perspective and focus.
Before we realise it, our minds can feel overloaded with a combination of negative doubts and inner criticisms, and about as organised as a plate of spaghetti Bolognese thrown against a wall.
So something of great value is having someone to be your cheerleader.
Now we’re not talking here about a young woman with pom poms dancing and chanting “Two – Four – Six – Eight, you’re fantastic GO CREATE!”!
Although that isn’t actually all that far away from what we’re aiming for.
Your cheerleader in this sense is simply someone who will encourage and support you and your creative work.
Find someone who’s naturally positive and supportive, will be a consistent reliable presence, and has your best interests at heart.
Who’s the most positive and encouraging person you know? That’s a great place to start finding your cheerleader.
And it doesn’t have to be someone who’s a creative colleague. In fact it often helps if it isn’t.
Someone who doesn’t know the fine details of what you’re creating and the form you’re creating in, who will just praise you for the way you’re showing up to create each time and making your own progress, can actually be far more valuable, because of their objective and non-judgemental perspective.
Arrange with your cheerleader a regular time each week to check in with them and update them on your progress.
Just knowing you have this check in time ahead of you will encourage you to be more accountable about creating and spur you on to do more. This regular accountability is one of the major factors in why people find coaching so helpful.
You could also offer to be someone else’s cheerleader. It could be the same person, or someone else entirely. The added bonus here is when we see others creating and progressing with their creative lives, it inspires us to do more ourselves as well.
Getting yourself a cheerleader is just one many different ways you use to help you unleash your creativity.
Experiment with this idea, starting today, and within a couple of weeks you’ll soon seen the positive effect it has on your creative life.
