Creative Self Image - Is Your Outdated Creative Self Image Choking The Life Out Of Your Creativity?

We all have a self-image, a picture or collection of pictures in our heads about how we think we are and how we think we appear to the outside world.

Speaking personally for a moment, I’ve met a number of new people in the last couple of months, and many of them have told me how I’m confident and capable.

I’m delighted and grateful about the compliments of course, but a little voice deep inside still says:

“Confident? Me? Come on, I’m just a shy and scared little boy!”

Creative Freedom - The Benefits Of Creating Just For The Joy Of Creating

Whatever we enjoy as creative projects, sometimes there’s nothing like the thrill of simply creating for the joy of creating.

The excitement of the unknown possibilities, the feeling of fear mixed with awe, the spontaneous free flow of ideas, words, images or sounds…

Often, the barriers that appear when we go to create – both externally and in our minds – can be traced back to what we EXPECT to produce.

It’s deeply engrained in many of us that unless we have some amazing “end product” after a period of creating - something real and tangible to show for all our efforts - then somehow that time has been wasted.

Creative Crafts For A Special Birthday

There are plenty of crafts that you can do to celebrate someone’s birthday. You can use them for a present, or you can decorate a party with the themed crafts. What you do is solely up to you. The main point of making things homemade for someone’s birthday is that it shows effort and love that can’t be shown with store-made items. Crafts are thoughtful and always appreciated.
