Lessons from Music - The Creative Approach

“Without creativity there is no progress”


! Musicians ! Painters ! Writers ! Actors ! Other Artists ! Fashion Designers

WHO do we consider Creative?


! Creativity is a process.

! Creative people just run the process better.

! Creativity is not a magical ability but as natural to the human being as breathing air.

The Creative State


! Clear your mind. Go for a walk, listen to music, visit a museum, meditate, or whatever activity clears your mind.

! Dwell upon an idea. Let it fill your mind, the brain will start connecting.

! Ask yourself: How can I do it? How would I do it? What can I do to make it special?

A few tips to get into a creative state of mind


! “Looking at a painting or listening to music activates parts of the brain that are linked to creativity”


! “Best ideas come at 2am.” Before entering sleep the mind is at its most creative state.

! Accept any idea that pops up in your head. It can happen at the most unusual moments.

! Be inspired by other creative people. ! LOVE what you do.

A few more tips...


! You will feel inner passion, fun.

! Be completely absorbed. The outside world does not exist.

! You just know it.

How will you know that you are in the right creative state of mind?


! You decide: "I will now be creative.” ! If you catch yourself being angry, annoyed, bored. Stop and do something else.
