Build an ideas factory
Where do you go to do your work?
In the summer its easy, I goto the park, sit by the river, or even go to the beach.
The rest of the year, why not go to that place where you’re ON FIRE creatively in your own mind.
Deeply imagine being somewhere you feel really comfortable, excited, creative, relaxed.
– Whatever and wherever you like. You don’t have to have been there before, make something up, or remember somewhere from your past.
What can you see?
What can you hear?
What can you feel physically? (What are you sitting / laying on?)
How does it feel inside?
Is anyone else there?
TURN UP THE SENSATIONS. Imagine a dial for each sense (or submodality if you’re into NLP), turn it way up.
Now, imagine what it would be like to be furiously scrawling ideas, writing, composing, performing, practicing, whatever you like. Whatever you do.
Talk to the other people in your imaginary scene, if there are any, maybe they can help…
Slowly come out of it, sit up…
… and get creating.
