Work Out Your Creativity
Creativity, much like a muscle has to be worked. When left alone, it atrophies. Creativity needs to be stretched and sometimes it needs to hit the pavement hard to see just how far it will take us. Our creativity must be used to be worth something to us. And the more time we invest into it, the more we will get out of it. We can hardly expect to just show up on the first day and be perfect, but with time and dedication, our creativity can take us places that we might have never dreamed!
So, if you were to assess your creativity on a scale of one to ten, where would you would be? Are you putting the time into creativity to get the results you desire? Do you need to invest more time in it? There are always classes that can teach you new things, but sometimes just carving out a little bit of time each day to pull away and let your creativity run free is what is really needed.
The one thing I am certain of is that the more time you invest in creativity, the more you will get out of it. Maybe it's time to get out your creativity trainers, hit the pavement, and see just how far your creativity will take you!

great post Tina - ive been struggling creatively for a while now...need to start playing with my papers and tools!
Tina, please tell me that you'll be at Alt Summit in January! I would love to finally meet you in person! :)
You are so right! I would love to take a class, I just need to carve out the time. It makes me so happy when I have been able to use my creativity.
I am just learning and discovering that I am a creative person, and yes, of course I am looking for ways to developing this creativity. Guess the first step is to actually carve out some time for it....not the easiest thing.
