The Significance of Creativity


http://www.createyourtruelife.com/

Creativity has always been part of my life as I have been teaching Art and Craft techniques to both children and adults in the UK for past last 10 years. The benefits of creativity are numerous and include learning new skills, learning about different materials, promoting right brain activity and learning how to make ideas become a reality.

In my Life Coaching I use creativity as an essential part of the "Make Change Happen" programme. I use creative thinking to help the individual to understand their current situation. I use creative visualisation to help instigate feelings of relaxation and ease. I also use a creative process to help clients see their situation going forward in the future. Even if someone regards themselves as totally uncreative, I help them to let go of their own limitations and gain a sense, or feel, for what they are looking at. This facilitates a realisation that the person can ‘see’ things in a unique way and allows space for this ‘way of seeing’ to develop. We all have this ability, as this is what one side of our brain is designed for!

For me, creativity is an essential element for growth. When you visualise, or create a vision for what you want to happen in your life, you literally pull it closer to you. Its like you get clear on something and then the doors begin to open. Getting clear is crucial. But how to get clear? There are so many ways to do this and I work on this with clients in my sessions. It’s all about getting into your natural flow, your natural way of doing things. You can't possibly do this in a conventional setting. You need so much more than a desk space in a stuffy office environment! It’s all about giving the person space so they can allow their true self to come to the surface and then stay there.

Trust is a massive factor in creativity. Learning to trust yourself, your decisions and what you really want from your life is important for your own development. Some people find trusting their inner voice difficult, if not impossible. There are so many distractions around us in our daily lives that it can feel overwhelming. If this is the case then all you need to do is create some 'me' time to just simply 'be'. Even if it’s just half an hour before you go to bed. Take this time to write down your thoughts, draw, listen to relaxing music, or simply be still and breathe deeply. Do this without judgment on yourself. If you can give yourself this time, then I promise, your creative brain, or your own ‘ways of seeing things’ will begin to come out to the surface. Slowly but surely you will begin to hear your inner voice and when you hear it, you'll soon be able to act on it.

Creativity is really acting on your inner voice, your personal guide, your inspiration. And Inspiration is the key to lasting fulfillment. What could be more important than that?

With much love
