creativity 100
Since Lift07 I have been wanting to do a creativity 100 - a practical creativity manifesto that can create some twisting and turning in your minds.
I’ve only gotten to 33 - but I am working on it all the time - so the last 67 will come soon =) enjoy
1. Your knowledge of “what’s out there” makes you base your choices on your knowledge of what works and what doesn’t work
2. Creativity means creative choices of inclusion and exclusion (Robert Mckee)
3. What doesn’t work in one context - might work in another. Test your options
4. Creativity is interaction. Most of the time with real people
5. The biggest goal for your ideas is casualization. turning your idea into a trend that partly turns “mainstream” or “normal”
6. When an idea is casualized - work on a new idea. Be ahead of the market
7. Look at the past to predict the future. Patterns mostly form themselves and repeat themselves
8. Being the first is more important to creativity than to be the best. when somebody becomes the best - the first are being first in something else
9. Taking a creative project from a-z is a piece of art in itself. Sometimes the creative person can’t manage herself- he’s busy creating other ideas
10. Creative action speaks louder than creative words
11. You don’t really need to be tomorrow where you are today
12. you don’t need to have creative past to get a creative future
13. be a firestarter, a twisted firestarter
14. dare to be different, it will really get you further in the long run
15. Creative people are often disliked by other people. It’s often real hard for the creative person to accept that
16. See your body mind and spirit as a whole, get inspiration with new ways of eating, living, thinking etc
17. Make personal goals and keep them. Do you really want to write that book right now ? - how high priority does it have on a scale from 1- 10 ( 1 is the lowest)
18. Make all your thoughts positive instead of negative, don’t nag - think about what a negative situation gives you - in a positive way
19. Eliminate the word “against” in your mind. Don’t be against smoking or against war - be FOR health and FOR peace
20. Eliminate “forever” and “never” in your mind. This will contribute to reducing you reluctance to change and in the end make your person more in sync
21. Don’t go where no man has gone before - go where YOU haven’t gone before - if you don’t like it, see it as an experience, if you do - use it to grow further
22. what do you really want ? get a friend to ask you that question again and again for 5 mins - and write it down ( if you don’t have any friends, IM me and I can ask you)
23. put beauty in everything - live beautifully and clean up your mess
24. Smile, try meditation and yoga
25. Don’t react negatively to anything, tell people to their face what you think of the way they are behaving
26. Is the processes you have in your life right now draining your energy or giving you energy ? - if it’s draining your energy, get yourself out of there…
27. how do you feel when you have eaten ? tired or energized ? if you fell tired the likelyhood of a food intolerance is big
28. Dress up everyday
29. Be green - this will change your world ( and it will give you the energy to save the world)
30. Tell friends how much you appreciate them - do they know ?
31. Make your marks in the sand, claim what is yours before somebody else does
32. What do you want to do right now ?
33. Do it
