“Dear Creative, the source of us is not always something completely novel. We love to combine what already exists in new ways. Love, Your Creative Ideas”
This was the card I pulled from my Dear Creative deck to inspire the Doodle Drop-In session today. It and my doodle lead to a couple of good takeaways:
As creatives, we often want to pursue the new thing. We can get bored with something pretty easily. Sometimes that is ok and sometimes it can feel really frustrating to not finish something. What if you could change the way you are looking as something to get those creative juices going again? What if you could combine things you started to make in new ways?
When we drop in, we can unlock a well of creativity. However, sometimes it is easy to keep ourselves too busy to drop in because we know that when we do, it’s not always rainbows and butterflies. It could mean sitting with some tough stuff. The good news is that doodling can regulate our nervous system to help us be with it and creativity loves to transform it into something wonderful. What already exists inside you is all you need. Chasing it elsewhere can be depleting.
To our creative revolution and evolution!
