I loved when I did this exercise. I was allowing my stubborn, controlled mind to unleash my creativity, off the wall
freedom mind. It was so empowering.
My ex-husband was a systems analyst he had a problem solving mentality walked a straight, safe, mondain life or should I say existence. During marriage I would come up all sorts of what I called unique ideas would pop up in my mind and I would share them with my hubby what I thought was exciting and brilliant he thought was stupid and useless. Looking back I see how I had lost my identify (which I have recaptured) but the most importantly thing is when I look back my ideas are not always perfect sometimes not even feasible but boy are they creative. The point is open yourself up to unlimited creativity with unbounding energy you will be amazed at how much of your passion, fire, freedom, reckless etc part of your being you have stuffed away. Like Braveheart said "FREEDOM"
Usher believes creativity is in our DNA; it's in everyone, not just the creative class. We all start our lives as creative beings but for many that spark becomes lost over time. How do we jump-start our creative process as adults? What does it means to be a creative person? How do we follow through with our ideas and turn them into tangible outcomes?
Think about your own Pink Elephants.
I know you've had them. Ideas that seemed too big, unwieldy, and unrealistic.
Write down a few of your own thoughts. Pink Elephant ideas.
Once you write it down it is not just a cluttered thought in your head. It is written, it is real.
