How To Choose Creativity - Your Beautiful Creative Future Begins Today!

In every part of your life you have a choice. Although it doesn’t feel like it sometimes, and maybe much of the time you feel out of control of your life, this fact remains true.

You can choose whether to get up each morning. You can choose whether to commit more time to creating.

You can choose exactly how creative you’re going to be.

Each choice has its consequences, but the choice is there.

“Hang on a minute,” you might be thinking. “I’d love to create more, but I just don’t have time!”.

What you’re really saying is “I choose not to make more time to create. I choose to prioritise other activities over creating.”

Yep, maybe that’s pushing the ouch button. Maybe that’s not so comfortable to hear. But it’s the reality.

We all have the same number of hours in the day. What you do with them is your choice. How you prioritise your activities and commitments is your choice.

Say this out loud now – “I never have enough time to create”.

How does that make you feel? What comes to mind, what does it trigger off within you? I’m confident it’s not making you feel too great! And it probably also makes you feel pretty powerless, frustrated and angry.

So if that’s how it feels saying it just once, how much more of a negative impact do you think it has on your state of mind and your attitude to creating when you’re saying the same thing in your head many times over each day?

Not a recipe for a future of creative happiness.

So, let’s take the first step to switching it around. Say now instead:

“I choose not to create more often”.

How does that feel different to the previous statement? Yes, it’s not yet exactly the most positive statement that’s going to instantly make your rush off and get creating. But notice how it shifts your thinking. Notice how saying “I CHOOSE to...” gives you back the initiative, hands you back the reins.

Now we can finish the turnaround and pump up the positive element.

Say out loud: “I choose to create as often as I wish. My sparkling creative future begins today. From today, I choose to create for a minimum of 15 minutes at the same time every day. I choose to recognise how important creating is to me, and from today, I’m choosing to make creating a central part of my life.”

How does that feel? Quite a change from “I never have enough time to create” isn’t it?

Yet all you’ve done is recognise the choice you’ve always had.

Now it’s time for action. There’s little point in changing your attitude and outlook if you don’t change your behaviour to be consistent with that new attitude.

So, as someone who is, from today, choosing to make creating a central part of their life, how are you going to put this into practice?

Here’s a tip: The only true way to be consistently creative and to demonstrating to yourself and everyone else how important creating is to you, is to create every day. It’s as simple as that.

Choose a time of day to create, choose a minimum period to create (at least 15 minutes) and choose to begin that new habit today.

Welcome to the new, empowered, in control, creative you... Now don’t hang around here any longer, there’s creating to be done. Your sparkling creative future begins today!

This is one of many ways you can be more creative.
