I have a piece of paper in my office that lists 29 ways to stay creative [don't ask how I got it 'cause I can barely remember anything these days]. I had forgotten I had it pinned [actually pinned not on Pinterest] on my inspiration board and yesterday I discovered it yet again, so I’ll be sharing it with you guys and hopefully you’ll try some of the things in the list. Who knows, maybe you’ll get a feature for your blog out of this. Here we go:
1. Make lists [I love me some list-making!]
2.Carry a notebook everywhere [you'll never know when you'll be inspired]
3. Sketch
4.Get away from the computer [we all need this sometime]
5.Quit beating yourself up [I need to do this]
6.Take breaks
7.Sing in the shower [trust me, the water makes you sound like a pro]
8. Be open
9.Drink coffee [you ain't got to tell me twice]
10.Get feedback
11. Listen to new music
12. Surround yourself with creative people [the blog community is great for this]
13. Practice, practice, practice
14. Don’t give up [even when the chips are down]
15. Allow yourself to make mistakes [we're not perfect after all]
16. Collaborate [exchanging ideas is very inspiring]
17. Take risks
18. Get lots of rest [not as easy sometimes but necessary]
19. Go somewhere new [the mr. and I decided yesterday that our next trip will be Grece!!]
20. Count your blessings [we're all very lucky]
21. Dance [I have a confession, I sneak into the bathroom to have dance-breaks]
22. Don’t force it [things just don't work out that way]
23. Break the rules [every now and then]
24. Read a book [or 13 in my case]
25. Stop trying to be someone else’s perfect [you are just fine the way you are]
26. Write down your ideas [please refer to no.2]
27. Clean your work space [or forever have allergies]
28. Finish something [starting a project is always exciting, finishing it is rewarding]
29. HAVE FUN!
