Awaken the creative side in you

Think of situations when you were very creative. Maybe you once explained a complex situation with a simple analogy or metaphor or helped to solve a difficult technical by creating an explanatory model.

Where did you get this idea, what have you heard, what did you see, how was your body posture, what did you feel or tell yourself?

Complete the following sentence:
"I am specifically creative when I....."

If you know the circumstances under which you had a good idea before, it is easier to get back in that state again and access these resources.

With practice comes confidence and power.

Where to find Creativity? - I was thinking about this the other day and I noticed there were situations I found myself in constantly where I was the most creative but in no particular order: 1. drinking coffee at Starbucks *while* people watching 2. taking a shower 3. while sitting in a seminar/class 4. sometimes while driving What are your most creative moments?
On my board - I am most creative when I am surfing. Surfing allows me to clear up my head and see things from a different point of view. I definitely get more creative while I'm surfing.
