Because my brain is weird, the first time I think of an answer, is often when I hear myself answering someone. It comes out of my mouth and that’s the first I know about it.
It happened moments ago. And it gave me a creative spark to share with you. Here’s what happened.
A friend told me that he’s struggling with his creativity. Both in quality and quantity. He then asked me how to improve his creative output.
I then heard myself say, ‘To improve your creative output, improve your creative inputs’.
Fresh feedback from interesting, people, surroundings, conversations, observations and such, are food for the brain. AKA bread for the head. If we make it a habit to regularly connect with different inputs, our minds get to create new points of focus. We’re then better equipped to make the connections that fuel the creative sparks we need.
The next time you’re waiting a little too long for the muse to show up, give it a try.
