Tipping the Scales using Creative Techniques
At the mere mention of creativity, many people run. This article explores ways to approach life and business by engaging your creative 'right brain' thinking, aka 'calling in your muse!' "But what has this got to do with me?" you might ask if you haven't already clicked away. "Everything," I answer, as if you really asked that question. Creative thought is an instigator of change. And since your life has probably changed over the years, then creative thought has likely played a role. But wait a sec... There is another instigator of change.

Nagging versus Musing
People can be so hard on themselves. Check this out. These are real emails that real people send to themselves on a regular schedule from 'Hassle Me'. www.hassleme.co.uk. The site's tagline is: Because sometimes in life, you just need to be nagged. It's a popular site – who among us haven't had similar thoughts? The responses, though, are just me imagining what I'd like to say. Because sometimes in life, you just need to be mused. "You're fat."(sent to theirself every day) You know how when you tell someone they're cranky, they get cranky even if they weren't cranky to begin with?

Bringing back the spirit of "When I grow up."
Bringing Back the Spirit of "When I grow up…." As kids, we knew a lot. We knew the future held a remarkable adventure. We were born knowing our passions and gifts and gravitated easily toward them. We knew joy in the moment. Our job was to play… and it was a darn good job. There was no amount of rules, regulations, shoulds, or 'have to's' that could stop the dreaming, scheming, imagining and discovering. There were no limits to the enthusiasm and answers when we finished the sentence "When I grow up…"

Like magic dust finding its way into all nooks and crannies, those who were once considered 'ordinary mortals' are now experiencing moments, discoveries and creations that leave them breathless saying, "YES! YES!...

Forget Resolutions. They've got a bad name.
Have you noticed that when one thinks about ‘New Year’s Resolutions’, strange thoughts sneak in like: “Oh goody, look what I can fail at this year!” “Fat chance I’m telling anyone this resolution just so they can watch me break it!” “I’m the queen of procrastination… I’ll get to it tomorrow.” The term ‘New Year’s Resolutions’ is tarnished by becoming a synonym for failure, disappointment, self sabotage and lack of willpower. Why would we put ourselves through that? Yet, the concept was once well intended.

Kicking in Creative Thought. Start with an Avocado.
What is an Avocado Table? No, no, this isn't a question to plug into Google. There is no right answer. There are no rules. (Isn't THAT freeing?) You simply get to think about what an Avocado Table could be. Imagine that you will be given $10 000 for your very creative answer. What would you come up with? Would you write about it, talk about it, sketch it? What would its purpose be? Where is it available? Who has access to it? Are all of the components of an avocado involved? Does the 'table' have to be something normally considered a table?

'We have to be more creative' - Stop just talking about it!
Maybe the difficult economic times are the perfect next step in our evolution. If you have 'google alert' and searched "be more creative" you would discover as I have that every day hundreds of articles, news casts, business forums, and blogs are screaming, "we have to be more creative if we are to survive this downtu in our economy." This thrills me. "Yay, people are going to get to access their creative brilliance!" I think enthusiastically (because my mind likes to do that.) "Yay!! The whole world is going to start using the creative right side of their brains!

There's Nothing Wrong With You. Nothing. Isn't That a Relief? I hear ya. Don’t think those thoughts that the title triggered are going unnoticed: “She doesn’t know me very well, does she?” “I can’t complete a single thing I set out to, that’s what’s wrong with me.” “I need to lose weight/ gain weight, get fit, get a haircut, and my shoes are ugly.” “I hate my job.” “I ‘m terrible at finances. I never shop around for best prices.”r
