What makes you the creative person you are?

2/21/2011

What is creativity? There are lots of answers this. To me it is doing something that makes you feel alive and good. It is solving a problem, taking a picture, writing a story, or painting a picture. It can be rearranging furniture (something I never do), adding that special scarf to an outfit, or creating something new and different to eat. It can be looking at life a little differently, seeing the same things through new lenses or totally changing my outlook.
You can be creative in five minutes or it may take you weeks, months, or years to finish a project. We are all creative beings. Some of us express that side of our personality more than others. I would love to hear what makes you feel creative each day.

Any and all of those things you listed make me feel creative! We are meant to be creative, I think. Each little act of creativity brings so much more life to the world. Visiting from CED today!

I agree with Kat. I used to think only well know artist types were the creatives. Now I realize that we can be creative in everything we do, if we do it with intention and attention. I'm not as creative in cooking as I'd like to be, but I think if I worked at it, I could be a much better cook. It's the things we're drawn to and spend time with that allow us to express our creative souls.

Challenges make me feel creative perhaps because they inspire me. Context inspires me - you know, having a certain assignment ~ even if that assignment is in my head (I need to write my morning pages so that in the future my biographers will read it to discover more about me and the time) or "I have five minutes to clear space in the living room" and setting the timer to GO! GO! GO! and then running around like crazy to get it done.

For photography, light makes me creative. Light slanting a certain way or having a certain length, softness I hope to capture.. almost painting like.

Being among other creative people makes me feel creative... at a creative event I tend to get the juices flowing.

I hope these specifics are helpful, dear one.

Grateful I found your post today via CED2011~
