12 Mar How to make your creative juices flow

I read this well written article today in The Huffington Post about 18 things that highly creative people do differently or more than others. Here’s a link to the article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/04/creativity-habits_n_4859769.html

I very recently quit my salary-paying regular job as a PR Professional to start Allegoro Communications, my own Writing and Communications company. As I read this article, I realized that all the 18 things that are listed in this article are “things” that I love to do, but have not had the time to indulge in because of my regular 9 to 5 job. I used to come home exhausted after a 10-hr mind-numbing day of completing tasks that fulfilled simply one purpose – to fill the pockets of my bosses and incur their wrath, regardless of a job well done.

Now that I am working toward getting my own company off the ground, I find myself partaking of the pleasures that accompany the practice of these 18 things. I can feel my creative juices being encouraged to flow at will, without any impediment.

I believe that all of us are creative and have the resources to think up and implement an original idea that truly amazes the world and ourselves in a good way. All we need is to take the time to encourage our thoughts, to revel in our solitude, to indulge in observations, to follow our desires, to ignite our passions and to find the courage.
