How To Find Your Creative Spark

How to find your creative spark. A lot of our clients come to us and ask, "How do I find my creative spark? We want to be creative, we know we can be creative but how do we actually hone in on it?" One of the things I would tell you to look at is what makes you feel most inspired. What inspires you and what moves you? Are there people, are there memories that you have? What is it that actually makes you feel creative as a person? One of the things I would do is get a blank piece of paper and a series of magazines.

These magazines may be of any interest but make sure you choose 5 or different 6 topics. They can be anything from football to cycling to TV soaps. Take clippings out of these magazines and paste them onto your page.

They can be so random but they really help ignite your creativity and then pin it up and then see if you can write a story from that or make something that makes you feel inspired. Also, rate yourself between 1 and 10 to how creative you feel at this present moment in time. If you're feeling not so creative, mark yourself midway at a five and then think to yourself, what would you need to do to be an absolute ten and when was the last time you got yourself to a ten? This could be a childhood memory when you were in a play or doing something creative and you felt really inspired and you felt passionate about what you were doing.

Relive it. Go back to when it was that you were last at this number ten. Write down the things that made you feel creative and passionate about what you were doing.

Then come back to the present to bridge the gap from the five you are now to the ten you want to be. There is no right or wrong way to find your creative spot. The most important thing is to relive when you previously were creative and try and tune in onto the experiences you gained when you were doing that and hone in on how you can achieve that in the present. .
