This is week #6 in Secrets of Highly Creative Women. I've been asking myself the question this morning,"What is it that sabotages my creativity?"Here goes:
#1- Everything else takes priority, creative moments not seeming as important compared to the needs of home, business, and people.
#2- I have this thinking that successful creativity looks like this ,whatever this is.
The revelation that
Learning this principle (creativity comes in many forms) is freeing.
Having said that, I liked what Andrea Sher said this week about writing for 15 minutes a day. I do this in journal form, but I really want to expand my writing skills. I want to form some kind of ritual around this 15 minute time slot so that I will do it every day. I have never been able to fit this into my mornings. I am rethinking the whole process including the timing. Get out of the box, girl!

You are so right, creativity comes in so many forms! And to know that we are indulging in it in some fashion each day does a soul good. Are those your flowers you grew? They are gorgeous (I have a black thumb). Good luck with the morning writing ritual..you can do it!

Creativity comes in so many forms -- gardening, cooking, knitting, crocheting, singing, writing, painting, photography and on and on and on. I love that you can sit with your flowers and just be you. I do that, too. Rituals are good and finding the time is possible. Hang in there and GO FOR IT!
YES! There are *so* many forms of creativity! And I support you in thinking outside the box-- keep playing with your writing time, you will eventually find a good time and a perfect ritual, sometimes it just takes a bit of play. So have fun with it!
