When I put simple childhood art supplies like cheap paints and brushes or a box of crayons in front of reluctant adults, they do something miraculous. They create. They may over analyze their creations. They may criticize. But they create.
It is possible to reconnect. Keep it simple.

Hey folks. While I'm working on a website redesign and getting my ideas together, I'll post another intentional observation activity. This one might be a little more challenging. Resist the urge to simply look in the mirror. Find a reflection of yourself that is different. Note the things that change, the things that stand out. Observe and store the thoughts and images away.
If you want to push forward, think about writing down a few words to describe your observations or doing a quick sketch of what you see.

It's Friday night...maybe not the best time to post, but here's another intentional observation activity.
How often do you really pay attention to where your feet are taking you and what they're encountering along the way?
Once again, there's no need to write anything down or pull out the paints. Just watch. Just let the moment wash over you. What you see and feel will come back to you when you need some inspiration.

Back in the fall, when I was posting more frequent creative activities and prompts, I talked a lot about 'intentional observation'. This is the idea that creativity can really only flow when we are paying attention to life as it flows around us. Inspiration comes through observation.
So, let's get back to practicing our observational skills. No pressure to create. Simply observe.

Little things of beauty. We are all capable of reaching into our well of creative energy (however deeply buried) and creating little things of beauty. Every single one of us ❤️
