Cultivate Your Creativity

By on August 16, 2018   /   Tru Leadership   /   104 Comments

The following blog is edited from Chopra Center and gives us great perspective about how to become more creative. We often think of creativity as something that only certain people are gifted with, and we have special words for such people, including brilliant, inspired, or ingenious. Creativity springs forth from our deeper being which is truly brilliant and infinitely intelligent. In turn, this deep-level intelligence then manifests to us as inspiration, changed perception, and insight.

Creativity is not the special property of gifted individuals, rather a capability within each of us. Creativity is that process through which the universe continually expresses its infinite self. Creativity is ceaseless and inexhaustible. It is an innate part of who and what we are.

In truth, each of us is actually creating all the time. If we stay focused on our ego, we create experiences of separation, conflict, pain, and limitation. We also stay stuck in the same patterns – the same ways of thinking, acting, and perceiving.

On the other hand, if we identify with our deeper self we can create experiences that reflect harmony, joy, abundance, and innovation. We do this by letting go of the ego’s limited ways of operation. This is the type of creativity we admire in others and that we strive for in ourselves.  

Here are 7 ways to cultivate creativity

1. Expand your definition of who you are. Free yourself from any restricted sense of who you are and know that you are capable of infinite potential. It’s important to accept your true nature and to work with it consciously. Inspired creativity stems from your true self. Know your values first.

2. Cultivate the wisdom of your deeper self. Release preconceived ideas, habits, and patterns. Let go of all ideas of what is possible or impossible, and make space for new thoughts and perceptions.

3. Be fully conscious of what you want to create. Affirm your intentions and be as clear as possible. Take action to fulfill your intention while releasing any attachment to the outcome.

4. Ask how to be of service, as this  taps into an expression of how your individual talents benefits others. Creativity increases as we limit out self-centered motivations and focus on the greater community.

5. Embrace your uniqueness. You are a unique center of creative activity and you have a creative role to play that no one else can fulfill. Realize that there is an appreciative audience for all your creative contributions.      

6. See failing as a gift. Do you see your failures as gifts? They are, as failure is where we produce our greatest learning opportunities. Through our failing is our greater connection to humanity. If you always have to be right, you have a learning handicap.  Touching the core of our learning gives us perspective to build value for others, as they more willingly follow our humanity. We create greater joy and wellbeing for others. That is very creative.

7. Forgive yourself, and allow your missteps and mistakes to be keys to learning and power. The more transparent you can be about yourself, the more people will be inspired. Being creative is an art-form – it is touching the emotions in others. You can persuade people with logic. and motivate them through emotion. Being creative is moving from math and science to art. Art is creative and inspires.

Be inspirational to yourself.

    Thank you for this article. I’d personally also like to mention that it can possibly be hard when you are in school and simply starting out to initiate a long credit standing. There are many individuals who are simply just trying to survive and have an extended or positive credit history can occasionally be a difficult element to have.

    I do agree with all the ideas you have presented in your post. They are very convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are very short for beginners. Could you please extend them a little from next time? Thanks for the post.

    Furthermore, i believe that mesothelioma is a scarce form of many forms of cancer that is usually found in individuals previously subjected to asbestos. Cancerous cellular material form inside mesothelium, which is a protecting lining that covers a lot of the body’s organs. These cells generally form from the lining of the lungs, tummy, or the sac that really encircles one’s heart. Thanks for giving your ideas.

    I have noticed that online diploma is getting preferred because attaining your college degree online has become a popular option for many people. Quite a few people have certainly not had an opportunity to attend a normal college or university nonetheless seek the improved earning potential and career advancement that a Bachelors Degree grants. Still others might have a degree in one discipline but would wish to pursue something they now have an interest in.

    Thanks for the suggestions you reveal through this site. In addition, several young women who seem to become pregnant usually do not even try and get medical care insurance because they are full of fearfulness they couldn’t qualify. Although a lot of states at this moment require that insurers produce coverage no matter what about the pre-existing conditions. Rates on these guaranteed programs are usually higher, but when considering the high cost of medical care it may be the safer approach to take to protect the financial future.

    Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
